Which Way Next?: Story of the Daewoo Challenge

by Richard Meredith

Description

Another true-life travel adventure from the Balding Backpackera; one of the epic tales of modern motoring history.In the late summer of 2003, middle-aged adventurer Richard Meredith and a young student companion borrowed a small family hatchback from General Motors and drove it halfway round the world. GM were hoping to publicise the bankrupt Daewoo car business they bought in South Korea after founder Kim Woo Choong had disappeared with $2billion of company cash. But they got more than they show more bargained for - and so did the intrepid duo, defying sandstorms, rioters and gun-totting rebels as they meandered across Europe, battled through the ranks of Taliban and al-Qaeda forces in Afghanistan, and juddered across India into Laos and Vietnam.Contains 16pages of colour photos. -- more at www.mercurybooks.co.uk show less
