Coast to Coast USA has been done
Today's Sunday Times carries the full story on P6 of the motoring supplement. A two page spread describes 4117 miles off road in three Discos, all completely standard except for roof rack and front winch. Even the tyres were standard! It can be done in three weeks for those with time to spare.

I just went to look online for it, but all I got were a headline and a few sentences, then it wanted me to log in to read the full article. That's just crazy. I wouldn't mind reading the whole article though.
And I'd prefer to see a cross Canada tour anyway

I'm not sure, by the time I get a plane ticket, wait 3 hours before departure, fly 6 hours and another hour waiting in arrivals at the airport, I think it might be too late...
if it only was a few weeks ago though, my aunt is here right now, I would have had her pick me up a copy.
Actually, now that you mention it, my cousin has an older P38 RR, he might be interested in the article as well, I should message him.
