6.0ltr

V12

Twin Turbo

737 lb.ft of torque...

They appear to be mostly a bunch of bored rich ******s

*Sigh*   Wish I was one of those.

I'd do the Gumball.

Prolly in an RS6, deresticted with a telly, DVD etc.

Or maybe a DB9

Or a Continental GT

Or a 575 M

Oh to have to choose.

Like the one racing at Curborough yesterday    the guy watched the F1 GP in his car then belted up and wanged it round the track in 36.5? very spectacular and he certainly wasn't holding back

Watch this

this thread shows what carnage the gumball in europe was..

not a race???

[Jan Coombes]

My friends brother did this is a soup-ed up M5.

The offical gumball was £3000, (£1 per mile)

He said it was horried, you have to drive hours a day, and unless you gun it your late for all the food and partys.

All the police know you are coming so unless you have jammers etc, your stuffed.

I heard there was a guy who stacked his 350 and just left it there.

I would love to do it in a Ultima GTR, a westfield would not be that good you need top end power.

ferrari enzo - £600,000, lamborghini mercialago - £200,000, getting shafted by a ford escort - priceless

didn't the reyland escort crash and fail to finish?

I got the vid of it spinning off the road lol

shame, it's an awesome car

Pez

You should've bought a decent car engined car then...

[scruffythefirst]

Well yeah, but only after they'd thrashed the enzo so much it stopped to get more power at a local ferrari dealership.....

Twas an absolutely suicidal overtaking manovure though

but just a load of cool people driving their cars across the countrys

Luke...no offence...but are you kidding? There are a very few cool people who are rich and can drive, but the rest qualify by being rich only.

Well i was watching gumball 3000 on the extreme channel the other night (channel 419 for sky digital viewers, its on 10:30 every night i think) and i saw a green Catheram R300 (i think it was an R300), and had to male drivers, not sure if they are members on the blat chat forum, or if anyone knows them, but they're famous been on tv

[oioi]

im with V7.  chatting to somebody at work about it whose mate did it.  apparently cos of the way it was set up they werent slowing down in villages etc.  w@nkers!  now i drive quickly on the public road, but always slow down in villages to sensible speeds cos the risks get too high (for me) to go blasting through a village at 130mph - you should be shot:angry:
