I suggest that you search in google for halal catering london uk. A quick look gave me lots of hits.

Unfortunately not where I live and not where we'll be travelling all next year : (

- are these vehicles as reliable as Toyota Land Cruisers are made out to be? Short answer – yes; however note that Land Cruisers are not as reliable as myth has them; age and mileage is key to any vehicle. Of the vehicles we’ve owned (Pajero, 4Runner, Geländewagen, Patrol, Cherokee, X Trail...

I suspect that we have a very different mode of travel, however our current mode of travel is in a Mk IV Montero, with a bed set up in the back, storage, and a refrigerator. For our last trip we didn't take this (shipping costs were astronomical) so bought a Wrangler in the destination country...

Of the tyres we've used in the last 15 years, the Yokohamas were the best until we were recommended Toyos. We had used BFGs in Africa and they were very good but a little more noisy on the highway and when we went to Australia we had Geolandars all round . One was destroyed; the next tyre shop...

WRT to the tyres, we have used the Geolandars and now prefer the Toyos (and have experience with Dunlops, Michelins, BFGs, Pirellis, and Bridgestones. In terms of the size, the clearance benefit is only half an inch so I'd pick based on whether you plan to air down/up much (or more accurately...

I've shipped vehicles into Europe a couple of times, however on both occasions imported them (in the sense of registering them locally) so no personal experience, however I am fairly sure that you can get a TIP in most countries. Try looking at national customs websites to gain clarity.

Good advice from El-Dracho. Two more thoughts: 1) Be aware that to travel in some countries in Europe you'll need a vignette (which is a permit to use the roads) - Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland (that's all of them I think). You can buy them...

Excellent! We're in Bogotá however travel through Pereira often, having family in Manizales (as well as other places in Colombia).

Good advice. With the money some people spend on modifications before getting out and about you could drive to Patagonia! re RTTs - we've used one only once - 5 weeks in Iceland on a rental 4x4. The cost of shipping our own vehicle would have been ridiculous so rental was the best option. It...

It used to be possible to buy vehicles, and perhaps bikes, in a number of countries on an export plate - a friend of mine bought a Saab in Sweden, and my father bought a Standard (now you know how long ago this was) in Germany. Worth checking with European bike manufacturers to see whether this...

Yes - simply an atlas (not a road atlas, just an atlas).

Echo this. You'll find a thousand views on the forum. My offer - keep it simple; don't assume that you need something until know why. With a vehicle, appropriate tyres, a tent (ground or RTT) or a bed in the back, you could drive to Patagonia with little problem (I've seen a Canadian Windstar in...

Welcome - I hope you get some value from the survey. I started completing it but gave up at Q3 - "How long is your average overlanding trip?" when the options were inadequate. Our trips average 10 months.
