The journey was longer, Sonic101 saw it in Montenegro, so I wonder now where else it has been!

It's also highly unlikely this car started it's journey in Manchester, or has even been back to Manchester since it left it's first owner  :D
It's also possible they left the car somewhere to fly home for a few months. I'm thinking of doing that for the winter months on mine as it's really not a great snow plough  :D
But the really big question is, where do they go from here? Or is this the end of the trail...

Of course I needed some point in the UK so I just decided to use the issuing place of the plate. If it was me I'd try going to Japan or South Korea if it financially feasible.  :D

It's not a cheap ferry, but if they made it that far, I'm guessing they have some money saved anyway  :)

I just googled my registration "MH02 CFJ" out of mild interest, and am so so humbled to be reading comments about my car!

My road trip started in 2016 and has just recently come to a conclusion after almost exactly 2 years. It can be split into 2 parts: Russia/Europe then I returned to the UK to get visas then Russia/Asia

It has taken me everywhere without even moaning, from the -25 temperatures of Murmansk (which lies well within the Arctic Circle) to the vast steppes of Kazakhstan... it has been personally escorted into the closed town of Baikonur by the Russian space agency Roscosmos... it has been searched thoroughly by border customs which suspected it for being a trafficking vehicle for human organs, it has crashed though Russian Federation military checkpoints, has crossed deserts and grasslands, has climbed the mountains and valleys of Asia.. has entered annexed Crimea (which is illegal and breaks UK, EU and international law), from the borders of China to the borders of Afghanistan, from Kosovo to the largest lake in the world: Baikal

I say farewell to my car, for this has always been a 1 way journey for the Fiesta.

Transport Aid Japan is a NPO located out of Japan specialising in providing Africa with cars donated, however they no longer operate since my initial departure and thus the fate of the Fiesta has been an unknown for sometime.

After last minute plans I'm happy to say I've found a charitable solution, I've spent the day meeting with the guys from Drive2Vladivostok (an instagram account primarily focused on models and the modded car scene) they do a great amount of local community work:- especially for an orphanage here in the city with children aged 5-16. Drive2Vladivostok have been integral to helping me find a charitable solution, Im really grateful for their help.

My car is to be sold and all the proceeds donated to the orphanage, I find comfort that hopefully the Fiesta will find a new life and also help those less fortunate than me along the way. The DVLA will be notified that this has been gifted.
