Each automobile owner has two
happy moments. First one when you buy a car
Second is when you sell it
I started looking at the cars a year ago
First, when I imagined this trip to Africa
I have imagined
like we drive a Defender and how cool it ill look
Turned out that the golden standard, de-facto
for Africa is a Toyota
Land Cruiser... Preferably 70-series
Which is without electronics, like people
say you can get out the battery push it and it ill go.
In the question of choosing
the car, I fully trust Slava
I can not help or advice here, but he always asked
do you like this car? The other car?
I started to search for the car
last Summer. Carefully looked at the options
but there was no ideal choice... And
this is how it was until the Winter
And then I started to choose from what was out there
We need a car, because we don't have a car! [old Russian TV show]
I have found the car on a website, shown it to Olena
Olena got her eyes fired up
She was like a girl falling in love
I realised - this is it!
We went to look at the car for the first time 1.5 months ago in Germany
It was right before Easter Holidays
We liked everything and decided to buy
But had to wait around 2-3 weeks
until they can give
the car to us and do the technical service.
And surely holidays didn't help
We are going to collect the car, but we have don't have a name for it yet
But will we come up with the name?
Names don't mean crap! What you make that name
mean is the real game!
When we went to Germany for the second time.
To collect the car. We did it with our friends.
We spent a night together, talked a lot
And in the morning went to make final inspection
and accept the car
I really like it! Old Toyota, that's cool!
The car was build a few years ago by a company that
special Land Cruiser builds
for such trips
Last time we were met with a legendary German hospitality in a hall
We were told to wait 15 min
and they will show it to us
I wonder how it will be today...
Let's find out how it will go
Looking into the eyes of this beast
The name came by itself
[untranslatable]
There is a character, called
Murzik. So we named the car
after Murzik!
We brought a little inspector with us
Inspector Alma
Going to inspect the car
Now all girls are mine!
I think she's going with us!
This car is a home on wheels
Which was developed by previous owners
Cooking
Washing the dishes
How cool!
I want to go with you!
Looks good? - Yeah!
That's top quality
German top quality?
I think so!
This car has so many functions
That it is hard to learn them
Starter battery. Aux battery.
There are some main fuses. Belts.
Down there two belts for a water pump and alternator.
The high lift. The lamps.
Here is the pump. In this position is 4x4
4x2
Lighter, Lighter, C-tek
Water pump, heater, Webasto
Those are the wires from the solar panel
Okay! That's all!
So many people do it wrong! And then I have to send parts
to South America
Tom is a unique sales guy
His approach amazes me
But probably he makes use of the fact that he is practically the only one on
market who provides those services
True (exUSSR superstition when somebody sneezes)!
How much water do you think is needed
for a month or a week
How many filters do we take?
Some people use 50L in 2 days, and I can go
2 weeks with 50 litres. They clean the dishes, they need
water to clean the body
then they clean the dishes again. Then they clean their teeth
Then they wash the car
Some people are not able to travel!
When I clean my teeth, the rest of the water I use to clean the car
Tom, the owner of the company that built the car
Poured a lot of info on us
When you fix this, fix it with your knife, or whatever tool you have
Do it so nobody can open with the hands
Nobody can steal it
Screw it
So they can't open [with hands]
More than hands - they don't have!
There's a big box of keys with the car.
I will give you.
You have to find out
You have enough time in Africa
Keys from the car! [old Russian TV Show]
[untranslatable] Ukrainian
So this is our car now
Firs time in life I tanked for over 200 EUR
And the tank wasn't even full
There are 2 tanks
Imagine it was entirely solar powered
It is partially solar-powered
We just need to connect batteries to
the wheels
And probably
for a day you can collect enough charge to
go 500 meters
It would seem that now that we have the car and we can go home
But we still had to visit the previous owners
Because who is not them will tell us best of all
About all the details
When we got the car it seemed
that a happy moment should have dawned on us. We have the car!
But because there were a lot of things in the process
Tom forgot something
something was missing that he promised
our mood was
a little down. Maybe because we were tired
but overall
we were going without this happy feeling
and we were thinking that trip to Africa
has not even started but the mood is already gone. Something is wrong here.
After visiting the previous owners, our mood
changed. They organised a
very warm reception. That is not common for Germans
But probably travels make us
closer to each other. After we spent the first night
in the car
We were relieved. We woke up fresh
happy, got out of the car. Had breakfast
And went home
Probably this path is created to
discover oneself and learn to cope
with oneself and talk to your own voices.
We understand that the journey ahead is huge.
And there will be a lot of challenges and sad moments
when it will be hard... And we'll have to cope with it!
TRUE!
Even though the departure date is coming,
which is really soon
We managed to visit Las Vegas for 2 weeks
there was a conference and we travelled a bit
As it goes, tomorrow we again go to Ukraine
For a work trip. This time we'll have an offsite
It will be in Carpathian Mountains.
We will have an entire day dedicated to education
Then a day dedicated to joint activities.
All who work in Atwix company come together.
And we have 2-3 days
Entirely dedicated to each other. And on Monday we
will be in Bratislava and start the last part of preparations
to our journey
We'll have to test the car
Set up the life there. Think about cooking...

At least for those short 7 days!
In the process of video creation no animals were harmed.
What was harmed is cleanness of the house, work and mental health.
So if you don't share the video, don't call us.
No kidding.
