Surfing the web, looking at some different routes and attempts at Overland, transglobal journeys. A couple from the UK (http://www.goingoverland.com/) that have spent a few years and a few expeditions travelling the world by Land Rover. Just checking out some of the pictures, the places they've been and conditions they were up against seems daunting... How in the world can a CRX do that!?!
But it dawns on me quickly that it isn't the point to put a CRX through the exact terrain as a Land Rover, but to geographically travel around the world by whichever route a CRX could indeed make it. So when there is 4 foot deep snow in that direction, we go the other way. When a river needs to be forded instead of a 200 mile extra journey, it's the 200 miles that get travelled.
This is all about setting out in the world's most reliable brand of car, running it into the ground and being able to repair it anywhere along the way to keep going. There will be plenty of places the CRX cannot physically travel, which is why the expedition is called "Around the World in a Honda" and not "..in a CRX." Honda makes plenty of offroad vehicles that will surmount any challenges we would face.
