Stumbles across this BBC story from 2014 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/2014/newsspec_8703/index.html which I thought about in relation to the thread about the brake sensor repair https://www.a2oc.net/community/inde...abs-cable-repair-kit-8z0-927-904.43170/page-2
It's a 1/2 hour read so I skimmed it. It's about a German chap who took a 1988 Merc camper van around the world - 800,000 km and 165 countries over 24+ years. The German said you could not do it in a modern car as the electronics would not survive such a gruelling trip and roadside repairs would not be possible. Something to be said for the simplicity of the old cars - but not so good from a safety aspect.
