The chassis broke and halted their car’s travel, and they were offered a brand-new Hilux car by Toyota in order to continue their long road ahead. However, the sentimental value attached to their faithful chariot prompted them to decline the offer on their Instagram story:
“Big thank you to @toyota_sa for offering to help out with a new car ❤️ BUT we need Edna to get to Cape Town and will try our best to get her fixed!”
They opted to take to social media and ask for donations to repair their mechanical steed, continuing their quest or potentially abandoning their journey if the car could not be fixed.
