Gunther, Christine and Otto

Simply amazing.

What a great story, thanks for posting, I like his attitude, Bob

All I did was put Otto in to the Google search box and the old thread was revealed - then I merged your thread with Jerry's and IsuzuRover's

Was obviously I who was posting asleep, or maybe OS X Yosemite I recently downloaded

Came across this YouTube of this old German bloke that has been touring around the world for the past 23+years in his G-wagon and managed to rack up over 500,000+kms in distance and have no major vehicle problems at all.... Apparently his wife past away in recent times and he is still going at 74yrs of age.....
