Two LONGITUDE Expedition Certified Land Rover Discoverys fit into a single shipping container. We have four vehicles, so two containers are used to get them home.
These containers are 40 feet long, 7 1/2 feet wide. They are called "high cubes" because they're 9 1/2 feet high to accomodate the roof racks. (12035mm Long, 2340mm wide, 2274mm high)

Notes: Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! Most of the team is at home with their families, and all is well. We wish you all the best over the holiday season, and we'll keep you updated over the next several weeks. The expedition will continue when the vehicles make it to the U.S. sometime in Feb. Then it's several weeks from Alaska, through Canada, and back to the U.S. In the meantime, we're all adjusting to life as Americans in the U.S., and it's quite a switch. Life feels different, somehow. But friends and family are our priority, and you'll find us all focused on getting back in touch with our loved ones here in the good ole' U.S. of A.!
Our best to all of you. Love, | ||
