If you’re on Route 66 and see a Kia Sorento painted like a world atlas, it’s probably this fellow.
Christer Gerlach, a Swede with a taste for adventure, already has driven more than halfway around the world in the Kia and recently arrived in the United States. He’s on the West Coast and is taking Route 66 through part of his route. It should be a piece of cake compared to his trip through Siberia, which only recently opened a muddy road through the Russian territory.
If you go to Kia’s site here and click on the Expedition link down low, you can view a Flash site of Gerlach’s trip, with some photos from his trip. Unfortunately, when I last checked it, the site hadn’t been updated in more than a month.
