Who says you need a plane to get to Mallorca? Singer Micha von der Rampe decided that the “conventional style” wasn’t for him and embarked on the adventure of a lifetime: traveling from Stuttgart to Palma mounted on a tractor!
The road companion: It is a brand new, red Porsche (restored by Vintage Tractors).
Classic style: A beautiful Diesel F308N, classic vintage tractor that, while full of style, doesn’t exceed 35 km/h .
Six days of pure endurance: Micha wasn’t just on a stroll.
Long hours: He drove about 16 hours a day, starting at dawn and finishing exhausted at 10 p.m.
Out in the elements: No air conditioning or closed cabin here.
Weathering it all: Micha endured everything from soaking rains to a relentless sun that left his nose as red as his tractor.
Fuel costs: He spent about 314 euros on diesel to cross half of Europe. That’s almost cheaper than paying for excess baggage on an airline!
The grand arrival: After traveling more than 1,400 kilometers and taking a ferry from Barcelona, Micha made a triumphant entrance at Megapark in Mallorca, where he was welcomed like the legend he is.
