Anyone Fancy driving overland from Ireland/uk to Austrailia?

Hey, Looking someone to share the expense and the time to Drive to OZ. The plan is to take off in a Toyota Landcruiser 4x4 around August or October next year. The route will consist of the following: France - Germany - Czech Republic - Slovakia - Hungry - Romania - Bulgaria - Turkey - Georgia - Krygastan - Azerbajin - Turkministan - Kazachstan - China - laois - Vietnam - Thailand - Malaysia and ship car to Austrailia. It's a journey of a lifetime however there are some large costs assocaited with it, including kitting out the 4x4, feul and accomadation amonst other things. To cut down on ur costs, I will be paying for the landcruiser (But not modifications) and to cut down on hassle i have already done alot of the prelimanry planning such as budget, maps, visa research and much more. All of the above such as time of departure, route, and all aspects of the trip are negotiable and open for discussion as this is going to be a team effort. The trip will need to be approx 4/5 months and longer depending on the route and chill time. Accomadation will be a mix of tents and hostels / hotels. The ideal person must be open minded and eager to experience new cultures with a real sense of adventure The problem is i need to source someone for the trip - Does anyone have any ideas how i can get th eword outthere and possibly get someone on board? the_big_drive2010@yahoo.com
