It 's not everyday you stumble across classic Fargo trucks and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, especially in Southern Africa, so you can only imagine the excitement felt by the crew-members of the Put Foot Rally 2013. The Put Foot Foundation organizes a rally every year to support underprivileged South African children with brand new 100% leather shoes. Consisting of 40 crews, each team travels through five countries within Southern Africa in 18 days. While going through the rally, crew member Tyson Jopson found this graveyard of rustic cars. From the photographs, one can see that each car provides a different aesthetic to the scenery. These cars may have received much mileage in their time, but are now left in Namibia to rest.
