Description
It's May 2007. Leaving China's Great Wall is Dina Bennett and her husband Bernard in Car 84, one of the 125 antique autos racing in the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge. The 1940 LaSalle is guided by Dina, the world's least likely navigator, with Bernard at the wheel as they race their car across the Gobi, Siberia, and the Baltic States and head south to Paris. As they nurse their car through the route, Dina brings you with as she ducks rock-throwing Mongolians, locks horns with Russians let over from the Intourist era, endures a sandstorm facial, and is reduced to tears over a bottle of red nail polish.
