18 Month Trip Turns Into 23-Year Relationship

When former Lufthansa and Hapag-Lloyd executive Gunther Holfort and his wife Christine picked up their their brand new Mercedes-Benz 300GD G-Wagen in 1988 for an 18-month trip, they had no idea that the journey would end up spanning the next 23 years of their lives. The famous 300GD has now over half a million miles on it (equivalent to circling the earth 20 times), has made over 200 border crossings into countries, and when the journey to a new destination can't be made by land, the vehicle is shipped. In all the years and all the miles that have been put on the vehicle, no major breakdowns have occurred; though Holfort does change out parts as they wear out. Every 100,000 miles, Holfort takes the vehicle back to Germany for required maintenance. Since the odometer can't accurately record the extreme number number of miles that have been put on the vehicle, it is periodically changed out and a new sticker is placed to reflect the accurate number of miles. All of these travels have taken place without any sponsorship from Mercedes or any other company; all on Holfort's dime. Holfort's love affair with this particular vehicle is soon to end as the vehicle will be put on display in the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. To read up and see more photos of Holfort's expeditions with his 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300GD G-Wagen, head over to this article from MBWorld.org.
