As i child I remember quite a few guys bringing cars by road to PK to our village in the mid 70s. The 1st car I sat in was one of these, at the age of 5, it seemed the best thing in the world.

Apparently driving from Middle East to UK used to be a done thing also - a lot of fun which no longer exists because of shortage of time

 

[PetroDollars]

would love to take a road trip along there, unfortunatly the situation in ME doesnt allow it anymore, along with pakistan sky high tax and customs for your car.

Now they dont even have flights from London to Calcutta.

[IMMY69]

I know people who used to drive from London to Kabul.

These people are clearly on their way out but they love to reminisce about it...
