Perhaps one of the most unique attributes of the off road spirit is that of helping each other, on and off the tracks, whether it's giving a sprocket or a knob to another contestant or people around us who have been disadvantaged, who live in remote areas of the country and have no access to food, water or phone lines. Just the kind of people we could make a better Christmas for. So with these thoughts in mind, the Off Road Adventure Romania Team sets off every year before Christmas to a designated area where we give away food, water and presents for the children.
This year, 46 off road cars and SUV’s parked outside one of the biggest shopping centers in Bucharest to get loaded. Some of the people who attended for the first time were rather surprised to see all the cars gathered under one roof (literally one roof, the roof of the parking lot). If there was a car you could think of, it was almost certainly there, from Mercedes SUVs and Land Rover Freelanders to Highly modified contest cars and the surprise of the day, a Hummer H1.
We loaded the cars and set on the way. The night before, some were rather worried that the ice, mud and snow would jeopardize the action. Some of the cars had nothing more than the factory specs and somebody behind the wheel.
We went to Buzau, an already known location from the Musaios Adventure Trophy. The only difference were a couple of dozen degrees missing from the thermometer, perhaps more.
