Well, not quite

Gruffy brought the now famous (ooh, Jodie Kidd is my mate blah blah) Gumball Radical down to Brighton for a visit today. Sorry about the photo quality, only had my camera phone with me.

Boy is it fast, and boy did we attract some attention as we drove around the town (managed to drive past 3 schools at kicking out time, snapped kid's necks at 300 yards, talk about double takes! ) but the cerb sounded WAY better







I did get in the Radical, for um, about 20 seconds. Gruffy and Slvrcrb had to ease me back out with some chip fat on the shoulders and a good yank on the ears

2 webby types and me, not a camera between us.

There are a few pics of it on the various Gumball 3000 threads, I'll look some up and see if I can post them here. There was some on fchat or whatever its called, but it wont let me link to individual photos

Not bothered about the car (well actually I am, saw it the other night on the tunnel run and it is indeed quite awesome) however I meant pics taken when you were in there - hell I would even trade you some of me squeezed into one of those tiny offroad buggy type things taken a few years ago...... does not make for pleasant viewing I can tell you.

"I was that passenger"

The sheer acceleration and cornering speeds of the thing would make any hand-held camera work a bit "interesting" to say the least Plus you can't look at all sideways at speed, or your shades come flying off. Best thing I found was to tighten the harness a little more, sink down a few more inches and enjoy the ridiculous ride
