Odyssey

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

3rd June 2009

Join Paddy and Michael for an odyssey inspired by Ford.

Ford claim you can drive the Modeo  from Dublin to Rome on just two tanks of diesel, so that is exactly what Paddy and Michael did. They set off from Dublin on Sunday 24th May heading for the Champions League Final in Rome that Wednesday.

Did they make it on time? Did they make it on just two tanks of fuel? Did they get lost ??!!

Join the boys in the car for their massive trip in this weeks Torque Radio podcast.
