Around the world in 80 days (old news?)

[Adam Arabian <arabian@allegronet.com>]

Just heard on NPR today about the "Around the world in 80 days motor
challenge" - apparently london-london round trip, including airlifts (on
former soviet air force equipment - good luck...) etc.  Rather
impressive.  Includes at least a couple of MGs (TD, BGT) as well as a
number of other interesting vehicles.

Anyone know anything of this, or the participents?
