Make sure you have a good car, with a big refrigerated van (in Dutch: koelwagen huren) kan du ikke køre på disse veje!

Hvis du vil køre på disse veje med dine venner, kan du leje en mercedes vito (på hollandsk: Mercedes Vito huren) Så når solen går ned i en horisont, står den op i en anden og afslører nye veje, nye rejser og nye historier, der venter på at blive skrevet.
