Interesting buildup of troopies for international trip

Yes I've been watching them since they put the website up. Nice job on the cruisers but while their intended routes cross and pass through some amazing country, the most challenging aspect of their entire continental crossing proposals appears to be our own Canning Stock Route. The Cross-Russia route may throw up some challenges but the USA/Canada, Sth American and African routes seem pretty ordinary in many respects.

Wonder if Mr Miller would like to adopt me ;-)

This is a link to the actual buildup of the vehicles.

Below is another thread about a completed trip through the Congo which is a good read, this may have been around the forum before but for those that have not seen it is a good read. They didn't quite have the budget that the expeditions7 team seem to have.

Interesting to see that they're RHD. As the majority of the world is LHD, and the Yanks always whine about how they could never cope with having to change gears with their left hand, or use indicators with their right hand, I'm amazed they didn't specifically order them in LHD.
Just wait until they realise they have to drive on the left here! - we'll never hear the end of it! [;-)

Thanks for posting.

As a Troopy driver I will be following with interest.

Interesting on their website the map of the Australian route takes them from Darwin through Broome and down the central highway on bitumen.

I think they might have to review that map if they want to get on the Canning Stock Route.

Thanks for that Brenno, one of my journalism colleauges Matt Raudonikis has been in touch with these blokes for some time and 4X4 Australia magazine will be featuring these rigs in a future issue, when they have been Down Under. Like many on here I'm sure, I certainly wish I could do the trip with them!
