I'd say your best bet would be ferry to Russia then along the trans siberian highway which might take about 2 weeks as it takes about a week on the trans siberian railway and it might be cheaper to just fly.

:p yee but drivings more fun i want to hit the coutries on the way :p

Yeah also what will you be driving in cause when you're taking a trip through different countries the roads won't always be good so you might wana take something hardy but easy to fix and find parts for.

hi I wanted to do a trip this or next year to china... but I wanted to drive there (get a boat to france then onwards) how long and how much would it cost me to drive there ? going on average fuel prices ? and toll costs ? any help would be great :D ?

bing is your friend here, unfortunately google maps is useless at any trip over a long distance.

you can drag the route to places you want to see and bing will work out all the details for you :)

looks like about 9000 miles, average say 35 mpg means about 1200 litres of fuel, at uk prices (?1.40ish a litre) ?1680 in fuel alone

edit, oh yeh you gotta drive back too ;)

uk prices? isnt it like 2thirds cheaper in the rest of the world haha .... also 3 of us maybe going...and have about 3000 each to spend (cant drive by my self would take longer and i would die ... lol ) ... also il probs find a standard car make for the trip like a ford or something (easy to fix and to get parts, maybe even a jeep cause they go for miles)..

Takes about 5 days non stop 24 hour driving according to bing maps. On a side note I would love to make a trip like that in my car. Just me and maybe a friend (preferably someone I can have sex with on breaks) and the open road.

Like my uncle use to say, if you have to ask how much it costs then you probably can't afford it.

I hate that saying! lol I can afford it :p I recently spent 2grand on a japan trip... I think 3 grand would be enough for travel and munch on the way! ... and thats just my share! if i need more il get more :p that saying really grinds my gears haha !

Pretty damn fun adventure. Remember to sort out all your visas and plan alternative routes as don;t be surprised if not all of you make it across various borders.

You've more chance with the more northern route and i'd take that one anyway as i'd be more interested in it.

If you want to swing through Switzerland on the way then I'll jump in the car with you. That said, my plan is for February, and given work time constraints I think I'll just stick to the plane. :p

Good luck though. I saw that Ewan McGregor show where him and Charley Boorman did something similar on their bikes. Seems like one heck of an experience.

Also, good luck getting a visa to go through Russia, if you have no one to sponsor you then its most likely not going to happen.

well this is the kind of stuff i need to know ... see i will look into that now ... and sponsor? I have russian friends but they are not really important ..

If you want a taveling companion then count me in cause i love long trips by road it's why i always take the bus to London rather than Train!

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
