Thanks for the offer, Ed

first, I have to admit to have joined this biker forum for the precious infos provided here for a long dreamt of Africa circumnavigation, but never did that big trip and never held a driving license for everything bigger than 50ccm. I feel very attached to my +50yrs old Landy Series 2a.

A true Sahara crossing with it is just a silly bucket list thing, which will or won't be check marked, once time and budget allows. There was a time pre-Covid, when I ran my own wind- & kitesurfschool from March to October on Sardinia and was better off in not turning on the heater in my flat during winter, but driving flat out (at barely 90km/h) towards the heat of the south of Spain or Morocco (unfortunately little surfable wind in M during the winter, so mostly stood in Tarifa). Pandemic had me to change places and my ways of earning a living and I won't be able to break free for a few months either in the overseeable future.

I've got a similar quote to have my car transported by truck from my current home in western Germany to Malaga by a Spanish freight company. Occasionally, I have imported classic cars to restore and resell from Spain through him. This could be still an option to save me the week of driving down there, but nearly at the same cost.

Actually I´m only daydreaming longer trips these days, too, maybe I can take a month or two off next winter for it, but going via Spain into Morocco would only be a new thing beyond Dakhla, so sneaking into Morocco from the other side, coming from Tunisia, Algeria, RIM, would be an exciting option and would allow me to visit friends on Sardinia, too.

Edit(h) is a bit confused, we were under the impression to have written my earlier response in the New Border: Algeria - Mauritania -Post Did some Mod move this conversation over here or am I just nuts?
