Why would I want to spend more time in Africa than in Europe?

>Drive through the middle of the amazon after magically crossing the andes at non-accessible points
>Cross mountains at random
>Ignore the entire eastern section of europe and NA
>Don't drive through china for any of it's good parts
>Ignore India
>Visit none of Russia, Mongolia, or Scandinavia
>Yet criss-crossing through Africa like a maniac

What fucking idiot planned this route?

Yeah it needs refinement. Would have taken a bloody long time otherwise! But obviously the car is not expected to climb mountains. You can pick your own route where it isn't obvious. The vehicle should be able to cross countries with like Kazakhstan and Mongolia with large flat areas.

Europe has too many roads. And I live in Europe. Africa is so much more appealing.

At least you won't get hijacked gang raped and killed by wild nigger packs, that's besides there being nothing to look at besides humid jungles and dead deserts

I don't know why I'm bothering to respond to you, but if you look more closely at the Africa route I have deliberately avoided the Congo rainforest and any problematic areas.

Or buy a yacht that can fit a car

Not a bad idea. I'd use a custom built engine designed for durability and low compression, with a restrictive carburetor to save on fuel and be able to run on shit gas. It'll have enough power, we aren't racing. Cylinders and pistons are also easy to change, and no cooling system to fuss with. Suspension is simple and durable. We have unlimited budget, so storage space for supplies isn't so important, as we can have it shipped to us at rendezvous points. Yes, I think this is a very good car for this. If the two-wheeled variety were allowed, I'd most definitely choose a Honda CRF250L, since it was actually designed to be a third-world shitbike with long service intervals and low octane fuel in mind.

As an afterthought, a baja-style modified VW 412 might be better, as it's the same thing but with four doors and more space for supplies.
