Smile Help with building an overland Land Rover

Hey folks,
I'd like to ask you for some support with building an overland Land Rover.
I've made up a gofundme campaign which you can read to get all the information, or you quickly read through the Q&A below.
www.gofundme.com/roverworldtravel

What on earth do you want?
I'm looking for support on buying a project Land Rover which I can prepare for an overland travel from Hamburg to Hongkong.

Why do you ask us?
Because I believe in the kindness of the Land Rover community.

How much do you need?
I'll be happy with every quid you donate!

Why don't you work like we do?
I do, but it's not enough to buy a Land Rover over here in Germany.

So why don't you wait and save?
Because I want to travel when I'm young, not in 20 years when Land Rovers got even more expensive and the last adventure disappeared.

If you think I'm a lazy student who wants to get his traveling paid - ignore me, save your money for yourself! If you'd like to help me out with a fiver and make my dream possible, thank you so much!

Greetings from Germany,

Johannes (Land Rover infected since 2 years)

First thing I would do is well ....research ? For example where would be a good country to find a land rover ?
Maybe close to where they are made like England !

It's not that old you say we'll it's older than you are ?

And you say you want to do an overlanding expedition ? I suggest start small ?
Check out these guys on youtube:

There's a Nigerian prince who says you are his one and only beneficiary. All you have to do is give him all your bank info.

When the "community " is done paying for his truck mine needs a lift. Thanks!

Kudos for being upfront about asking for money. Might consider this, but I'll need a place to crash next time I swing through the fatherland. Let's call it my rent payment .

Good luck regardless. You might want to plan on writing, posting photos/reports, or doing some video production along whatever way you choose to give back if people support you.
