    Btw. feels free to post an occasional non-car video if you want to. Especially when it's a station of your road trip I don't mind just a "follow me along" video

    Awh, I wish you had made it to Armenia, but because of our import fees, you wouldn't have been able to get rid of it here even for dirt cheap, we also don't have many diesel cars, you'd maybe at most get "parts car" price and farewell with this durable beast.

    This channel will blow up every second. Great traveling logbook, great stories. If you don’t mind a vlog about something else than cars is more than welcome! Especially financially, how do you manage that trip with eat sleep and such? Thanks and keep on posting! Best regards from Germany

    There are lots of rust free examples in CA due to the desert climate. Still would need to do the gaskets though, due to the dryness they all leak after a bit.

    You should search for e46 parts at a scrap yard to fix some rust (in the us)
