Our South American ‘race’ to the farthest drivable point south in an Ariel Nomad

[@nathanm5388]

Absolutely loved this. Many congratulations on a fantastic trip. I travelled in 1997 for 6 months round many places you went and it’s amazing to see how it is now - not much has changed. I sadly didn’t do it in an Ariel Nomad but ironically now I live very close to where they’re built!

I love it amazing adventure everything about it from the drone footage to yourselves and the Nomad.

[@racetosomeplace7210]

We loved it too, in fact we love it even more as time goes by! Adventures like this are so incredibly EXCITING, I can tell from your comment you feel the same 😊👍

[@Ducksonalltube]

A rollcage on wheels - I love it. Been wanting to do that in Marocco for years. Thumps up for doing it come rain, sun or wind. 🤙🤙

[@TheOffroadCamper]

This reminds me of the mud nomad series where they went all over Europe aired during the pandemic

[@edwardnelson3413]

[@gorgoith6337]

merci à vous d'avoir partager ce voyage / thank you for sharing this journey

[@maxseminck8060]

What an amazing adventure 😊! How did you get the suspension fixed after the dampers broke?

[@racetosomeplace7210]

Hey, thanks for your message 😊 The suspension in particular was a real saga! Ariel were very good at shipping parts to us from the UK when things broke, but unfortunately we couldn’t find anyone to rebuild the dampers. We had to persevere for the majority of the trip on the failed Öhlins. Gravel tracks at speed were spine-crunching! 😂

[@maxseminck8060]

@@racetosomeplace7210 wow ok. That must have been very uncomfortable. I've just bought a nomad with the ohlins myself so I hope they don't fail as quickly as yours. Did they tell you why they failed so quickly and how you could have avoid it? Cheers. Max

[@racetosomeplace7210]

I was told by the service manager at Ariel that the Öhlins damper is a competition unit designed to be rebuilt after each race. He didn’t tell me this until after we’d shipped the car and encountered problems, unfortunately! Ours failed after about 300 miles of gravel. If I were to do the same kind of extended, non-metalled road trip again, I’d be giving the Fox shocks a try. Or learning how to rebuild dampers myself! 😂

[@pesomasagravedad]

Epic folks! Dream car and dream destination. What was the emergency drunken repair? And why doesnt the vin match? Surely it should no?

[@racetosomeplace7210]

The rear mud guard brackets are a weak point and don’t last very long on anything other than smooth tarmac. Unfortunately without them stones are thrown up in all directions, including into the cabin (which is how the windscreen was damaged on the inside)!

[@racetosomeplace7210]

Oh, and the vin plate has one digit that doesn’t match the registration document, just an error that must have happened when first registered. The discrepancy was picked up by Colombian customs in Cartagena, but nobody else on the trip noticed, thankfully. It did make ALL border crossings a bit twitchy though! 😬😂

[@MARthePaintballer]

My dream for the last 10 years has been to not only buy my dream car (Ariel Nomad) but also take it to all 50 US States. Still saving my pennies but maybe one day

[@racetosomeplace7210]

I hope you stick with your dream, you won’t regret it if you can make it happen. I was saving pennies for many years too to make our trip happen. It was worth all the effort! Best wishes 🚗

[@racetosomeplace7210]

Hi there! Well done for considering such a trip in an Atom! And we thought we were brave in a Nomad… 😂 Feel free to get in touch on Instagram (@racetosomeplace), would be great to hear your plans 👍

[@S2000Y]

Absolutely epic. You need more exposure though, so few views for the best video I have seen this year! Congrats

[@ipartoutstudio]
