160,000 kms. 4 continents. One very full belly.

Hi, my name is Padoan — but you can call me Tank.

I’ve got one job: keep Andrea, Mike and Zoe rolling. And let me tell you, I take that job very seriously.

From the frozen landscapes of the Sakha region in Russia to the hot sands of the Sahara Desert, I’ve carried every drop of diesel that’s powered this beast of a truck.

Mountains, mud, river crossings? Bring it on. I’ve been bumped, scratched, frozen, and baked… but never cracked, not once.

I’ve overheard some wild conversations from under here — route debates, playlists, and the occasional “Did we really take that turn?”

(Spoiler: They did. We all regretted it for about 4 hours when we got stuck in Kazakhstan).

I’ve shared campfires with camels in Tunisia, survived border crossings with a poker face, and I’ve tasted diesel from over 40 countries. Some of it was… questionable.

Let’s not talk about that one time in Turkey.

But I’ve never complained. Why? Because I was built for this. Rugged, reliable, strong. Just like the truck.

Now, with 160,000 kilometers under my belt, I have no plans of slowing down. In fact, I’m just getting warmed up.

And now even more, wherever Zoe, Andrea and Mike decide to go next — I’ll be here.

Full belly and motivated. Let’s roll.
