Britons travel the world in black taxi cab NEW YORK, March 26 (UPI) -- A trio of Britons traveling the world in a black taxi cab said in New York they have driven more than 32,000 miles. Paul Archer, 25, Leigh Purnell, 24, and Johno Ellison, 28, left London in the cab in February 2011 and are currently passing through New York after having visited locations including Australia and Mount Everest, The Sun reported Monday. The men said the cab will soon be flown to Tel Aviv, where they will start the final leg of their tour with a planned return to London in May. The travelers, who have been documenting their trip at itsonthemeter.com, said they hope to raise more than $30,000 for the Red Cross.
