Great London to Sydney taxi ride have chosen London cabbie Guy Smith as driver and Charles Norwood as route manager and mechanic.
These brave chaps have less than three weeks before they start the meter running and embark on the longest and most expensive taxi journey ever made.
Ex-HGV driver Smith reckons he will do the 18,000km journey in 11 weeks, which will eventually end up at Sydney Opera House, greeted by Australia's Prime Minister Bob Hawke.
You should not worry yourselves about the men's sense of direction. Norwood has just found his way back from Africa, driving a fire engine for the Samaritans.
