I noticed that! Those guys must be mad, but lots of respect to them and I hope it all goes smoothly!
its bad enough driving mine to Thailand ... knackered roads, mad locals, wandering livestock, scooters with a death wish, trucks that just don't give a fk !!!
a year or two now I drove to Tak near the Burmese boarder, wot a wicked road!!! just have to watch for the trucks coming on your side of the road and the ones with no brakes as they have over heated.
Just a shame I was in a Toyota Tiger! but I did see a f430 coming through there.
