Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk after pulling their failing vehicle the last 43 miles. Richard Sears and Nick Gough have traveled 37,500 kilometers around the world and passed through 37 countries. They did this to support grassroots education projects in Africa, Asia and South America.

The pair, who set off from London on August 1, 2012, thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail. When the tuk-tuk broke, they were only 70 kilometers from the world record mark. They decided to pull it the rest of the way. The tuk-tuk, which weighs 800 kilograms, was pulled in turns by Rich and Nick over three days.

On arrival in Chepen, Peru, they discovered a mechanic who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it.
