Dumball rally 3000
Discussion
There I was waiting for the fun to start, had my popcorn and a can of Pepsi ready for the noise and roar of the exotica on show...
What a load of old tosh. Maybe it was the angle the reporter was aiming for but do the majority of these people really give a flying toss about cars? It is just a big ego fest and to be honest I cant think of anything as dull as driving the highways of the USA, no matter how fast you push your Modena.
The European one was slightly better, at least the roads were a little interesting.
This was an extreme showing of rich numpties.

I think the reporter was particularly poor - he was obviously out to do some damage to Max in some way - I sense he was waiting for a slip up or an accident or similar, didn't really happen for him - and most of the camera work from inside the car was piss poor.
comparing that to the jackass vid of the european one - made the jackass team look like david bailey....

You need to like cars to do a report on cars.
As I was wetting myself at the amount of hardware on show all we saw was they had no map!
Did not see the two Ducates or the Z3M wipe out. I think that you could have just done a program on the bunny girls in the mini.
What was up with the program?

erm, who is this max chap and when has he ever been a racing driver? i've never heard of him!. the program was tosh, why did they spend ages following the yellow m3 and was there really any need to see the insode of a truckers cab?! i agree that the camera guy was out to stitch up max with his "but max was nowhere to be seen" comments. overall: big pile of baby poo. i'm sure we could organise something better here in good ol' blighty..........
Lands End to John o'Groats... would probably have to do it a few times to clock up the same mileage, but it could be fun...

As per usual the British media (in this case Channel 4 rather than the BBC) have tried to get on the back of something to create a stir / argument / story when there blatantly isnt one.....
You certainly did get the impression that they wanted to film chases, crashes and rich kids blowing daddies money on £5000 speeding fines.... What transpired was something quite normal and certainly not that interesting....
As expected they focused on the speeding angle and not the social aspect, or the endurance element. Rather predictable and sadly has diminished my opinions of C4 now.... in the same league as BBC now...
The JackAss program was much more interesting, entertaining and genuinely funny - mainly because they saw it as a good larf rather than anything else...
Oh how this country is turning against the car and everything it represents..... mainly by media types that live / work in London and dont drive anyway....
Cheers,
Paul
