This time, we do it in a Mercedes Sprinter .
One has to believe that the German automakers are hell bent on proving that their products can tackle the worst possible (and imaginable) driving conditions on earth.
Matt St-Pierre went out first in the smart fortwo . He drove the fortwo all the way to Inuvik, in the Northwest Territories.
Not having had enough, he took on a similar route towards the Arctic Heavens, this time in a Porsche Cayenne . Our Lesley Wimbush picked up where Matt left off, and she travelled all the way to Cooldfoot, Alaska.
This time around, Lesley heads back out into the frozen North. This trip will be completed at the helm of a Mercedes Sprinter; the opposite end of what the Stuttgart-based German automaker offers in North America.
Check this space as Lesley will update us regularly as she works on getting the Sprinter through Leg 2 of the trip: Anchorage to Coldfoot, and back to Anchorage. Wish her luck.
Truth be told, she’ll be fine as Mercedes is very well versed in dealing with these types of expeditions.
