That's quite a trip, and the 928 would not normally be the first car that comes to mind for this. I wish them a safe trip, and lots of fun!
Obviously, the car has been raised a bit, and the front spoiler has been omitted. Can you guys tell, if they left a belly pan in place, to protect the engine and its periphery?
Did they say where they will during this trip? Camping?
It looks like they used an incredibly beautiful GT with full leather interior for this. Apart from the holes they had to drill, it will likely suffer significantly in its cosmetics.
Perhaps they can send it to L'Oreal after they return...

Epic journey, exactly what our 928's are made for!
The generic and specifly made preparations are impressively executed (as for example: http://www.porsche-928-expedition.co...ation-raid.php ).
Thanks Michel for making us here aware.

You'll found there some more details about the way both the journey and the car are prepared.
Nicole made a perfect resume of the different feelings shared among our selachian community, but once we discovered how professionnaly this project was handled, we had no choice but support this family team.
Cheers,
Michel

GT with sunroof delete....nice ride. These guys are going to have the adventure of a lifetime!
I like the photos of India they chose for the website. The dude with the painted face belongs to a religion where they consume massive quantities of pot on a daily basis.
Thanks for sharing this info with us.
