The jury is out!

Once more the boys at C2C have been profiled in a global magazine from Germany. This year is a celebration of 50 years since the production of the Mercedes-Benz W123. Today, these machines are alone on the tar, absent are their contemporaries of the time, perhaps now lying in a scrapyard somewhere, melted into a fridge maybe or rusted back to dust. We are excited and we want to share this with you.

Shoutout to Samson Jonah Mashaba, from Maputo province in the island of Macaneta.

This is the special human being right here, very helpful, resourceful and funny too. He waited with us the whole night while we were trying to figure ways to get about and around the sand dirty road.

Sisaya daar!

As we all know Mozambique is known for fish and to the locals fish remains popular delicacy so our chef went straight to work with the local delights.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, we even tried motivation to keep the crew’s spirits high.

In the end it’s really not about the size of the dog!

When trying to get the cars out of the sand the whole night becomes your cardio.
