well as well as the traditional Plymouth - Dakar rally, there is scumball rally, furball and scumball3000 at a quick glance. No doubt a load more seeing as i hadn't even heard of this one before.

I would guess choose a letter from A-Z and put it before "umball" and you'll get a cheapo version.

yeah true - i think the other ones are more for people with either posh cars or rally cars where as this is kind of a banger rally - but then there are millions of those too...

Always been interested in going for a rapid blast across Europe in a fast car sadly I dont have the same desire to do so in an ice cream van.

erm, no. The ones I have mentionned have restraints of either £1k or £500, the same as this one.

i was lucky enough to do some of these Prior to speed cameras, huge fines...

and LOADS of publicity!

can't think of a worse week. sitting in aload of road blocks witha bunch of tooo rich people who have bought some fast metal (which ofcourse makes them michael schumacher!!) who are intent on hitting 200mph on the public roads...whatever the traffic!

Losers!

now with the cameras on the motorways, escalating fines and coppers who have now seen to many cannongumballers and will now fine you on the spot...its not worth the £10K that they want!

do your own run, keep it small and keep your eyes open and a wodge of cash in the car. its the only way!

What a load of bollox these tours are ,, P and O ticket and then off you go where ever you want none of the crap these tours seem to attract , they are for people with no imagination to do it them selves and want other "Highrollers" along to impress with their huge Penis size .... the PH Euro hoon seems a little different

I agree to a certain extent. However, there are distinct benefits to an organised tour on 'some' of the runs available
