Two Chivers Chive it up across 11 countries (41 HQ Photos)

Two of our Chivers, Werner and Andrew, were recently asked to fetch a newly purchased aircraft and fly it from the UK to Johannesburg, South Africa. Their trip took them across 11 countries and 10 fuel stops.
The two grabbed two Chive Logo Tees and our shitty iPhone App and took off. After a few detours to grab some pizza in Italy, they arrived in Johannesburg 4 days later.

Correction, Garmin 530 with a 430 underneath. Probably paired together for auto data transfer. I've used that setup in a Piper Seminole works like a charm!

I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, PennyOrder.com
