Current Goal

Let´s go around the world! In 1936, I traveled around the world and it took me just 97 days (44 days on the road). I also made „Big Apple“–  the world record – I passed 5 300 kilometers in 100 hours and 55 minutes.

Let me follow the SKODA RAPID journey and if you want to, take a picture with me and post it on FB with #skodaheritage.
