Jackass on the Gumball 3000
Discussion
Anyone see Jackass last night??? They were doing the Gumball Rally (across europe) in 6 days all packed into the back of a Jag XJ6 - absolute nutters. There were some serious motors taking part including the white Ferrari 355 Spider (Reg L100 0NY) that was the only car not to make it due to flipping at 150mph somewhere in Latvia - nearly costing the driver his ear 
(I count him as VERY lucky). Loads of 911's, 355's, Beamers, a Caterham, one Tuscan and a wide assortment of others. Anyone here taken part, would like to, or knows much about it?? I could think of worse ways to put 3600 miles on you car in 6 days........

I saw it,
Much better than Ruby Wax's version of the race.
Interesting in-taking heading towards Belgium, on the way back when they knocked the wing mirror off, and almost collected a lorry on the hard shoulder.
One comment that made me chuckle;
"When ya see someone with a Ferrari go up to em & say: Hmm, weren't rich enough for a Lamborghini"
I don't think the White 355 was the only one not to make it back; weren't there a few cases of car jacking ??

Jackass is a fantastic show generally, but this one - with added petrolhead action - was great. I mean wouldn;t you just love to earn a living like Johnny Knoxville? - doing nothing more than the sort of crazy stunts you used to pull on the way home from the pub during your early drinking years!
What about that guy being turfed out of the driving seat for a having a drininv licence that was "too big"! Who would be mad enough to travel abroad with an A4 colour photocopy licence?
