    You read well, Shanghai to Paris and back in a car, a Chinese sportcar to be precize.

    Anyone interested in joining me? I got room for a passenger ...

    As I have plenty of space on the car for decals and stickers, I'm actively looking for sponsors (equipment and financial support).

    This adventure will last about 14 days, the car is being prepared for it, it will be completely checked just before the departure, i'll have new tires, engine and reservoirs for cooling, course from a professional mechanic...

    I'm also learning Chinese, Kazak, Pakistani, Russian and Japanese (just in case I get lost).

    I choose this car for many reasons:
    1) it's my car and i love it
    2) i can reach the ground in case of emergency braking
    3) i can help running to speed up the daily mileage
    4) no one have done this before, no one in a car so fast.

    I'm aware that it is definitely not the best car for this kind of trip, the position is far from ideal but, there would be no real adventure or challenge doing it on let say a sportsbike, a GSX-R.

    I'll be mainly driving on the highways in order to avoid the problems as much as possible, and in order to find as many gas station as possible.
    I will only need to do 8h a day for 2.000km is just 250 km/h ;)

    Any ideas? Advices? People interested in joining me?

    Merci and Au Revoir!

    How much HP does it have? What's the topspeed? What did it cost and how did you get hold of such an unique vehicle?
    You will carry some cheese and wine in the trunk for some extra downforce?

    You mean it will create traffic jams of 250km / hour!

    I loves me some parody.

    Dunno who did this but it is funny as hell. Hoping Clouseau lives to eat his words as a certain sportbike enters Paris.

    We have people on this site from all around the world.People from different countries have a different take on humor and sarcasm.Most Americans can not understand my Aussie humor until they get to know me.

    I hope a certain someone didn't get offended by this. Reminds me of Aussie humor.Bit like the chasers humor.
