Two friends, Englishman Ollie Jenks and Canadian Seth Scott, are undertaking an ambitious journey to visit all 16 World Cup venues across the United States, Canada, and Mexico in a vintage London black taxi before the tournament ends on July 19th. The pair purchased their cab, nicknamed "Abby the Cabby," for £1,000 in Vancouver despite it being in terrible condition and requiring a month of repairs before departure. Their 10,000-mile adventure, inspired by a 2008 BBC documentary and their previous London-to-Cape Town trip in a Reliant Robin, involves raising money for charity while offering free rides to international football supporters who might struggle with expensive travel costs.
