Did anyone see this last night.It looks like a good laugh and I noticed a Cooper S in the field.I was wondering if anyone here had taken an interest in going on it.Check out the web-site and it's £4500 to enter ???? A lot of dough for a weekend trip.You could get sponsorship to finance it though.

Also check out the Gumball 3000 web-site and that was £28000 to enter for 2 people and 1 car.Fook that !

classic when that guy copped a 2 month driving ban in Germany, and was about 50 meters from the Czech boarder

Yeah.That made me laugh too.

Appart from a Mini,an old Capri would be a class car to do it in.

Me and a mate are tentatively planning it for 2 years time, in his kit-built V6 Dax Rush.

Going to wear kilts, Scotland tops and Jimmy bunnets. Could possibly be the best week ever :D

You just book it, tell her afterwards... The same way I've told her that me and a few others are off to Paris next September for the footie :p

She's been made well aware that i'm not giving up the tartan army :D

Good luck to you.
Anytime those programmes are on, its seems to me its full of pretentious poseurs or cockernee wide boys. Can't be bothered with them to be honest. Especially when they whine about the speeding ticket.
