A refreshingly different retirement: Dirk and Trudy Regter with their Model T

I'm always reading about trendy 60-year-olds who drive sports cars and live racy lives. So it was rather refreshing to read about the two Dutch grandparents who have been travelling round the world over the last three years in a 100-year-old Model T Ford with a top speed of 45mph. Dirk and Trudy Regter have so far trundled through Africa, North and South America, Australia, India and China. Along the way they are raising funds for orphans living at SOS Children's Villages International. Good for them.
