British team attempting 10K-mile, 10-day drive in Land Rover

It may sound like a Top Gear challenge, but it isn't - a pair of Brits will attempt to drive from London to Cape Town, a distance of 10,000 miles, in under 10 days. The two-man team, consisting of endurance rally drivers Robert Belcher and Stephen Cooper will leave Blighty early on Friday, October 4 and cross 13 countries by Monday, October 14. Their steed for this feat. A 2005 Land Rover LR3, considered by some to be one of the most unreliable models in Land Rover's long and distinguished history of unreliable models. To account for and minimize the inevitable breakdowns, the LR3 has received a few modifications.
