Found this news item through my ISP:

Story keeps changing.

The first report I saw:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/01...ing_car_exped/
said it would fly over the Pyrenees and the Gibraltar Strait and drive
the rest of the way - now the Atlas Mountains and chunks of the Sahara
seem to have have got into the act.

The car seems to have changed too. The one in the first story had what
looks like a glassfibre shell and windscreen while the Yahoo photo looks
like a COTS dunebuggy.
