TVR completes 20,000 mile road trip without failure (ish)

[MrPT]

A man has driven a sports car across 21 countries, starting at the most northerly pub in the world and finishing at the most southerly.
Ben Coombs, 38, from Plymouth in Devon, drove 20,000 miles across three continents from the Arctic Circle to the southernmost tip of Chile.
It took him seven months to complete the challenge.
Mr Coombs described the final pub as "a dive", but said "it's the journey that matters, not the destination".
The idea for the adventure came while he was having a pint in a pub on Dartmoor.

Looks like fun.

Love those. Must find that pub on Dartmoor and try the brew in my Zed.

It's really great in this anti IC car age that a big old V8 makes the front page of the beeb (probably a slow news day though to be fair!)
Great story, adventure and a great old British sports car to do it in . Must have been a fantastic experience.

I wonder if it was the Warren House Inn just past Postbridge. Highest pub on the moor if I remember correctly and with a great steak and ale pie

Could be, many fine pubs on the moor. Not been back to the Warren House since the kids were small, 20 odd years ago I guess.
