    i read somewhere about mini people taking part in the Gumball Rally across Europe and was wondering if anyone here knew much about it. It's something i would love to do, a good way to take my holidays from work. So.. anyone know much about this? i know that some company / garage were doing a package for £20,000 and that got you a cooper and covered all the expenses for your duration of the trip. And the winner recieved a new cooper s, as well as keeping the one theu used in the rally!

    Does that include speeding fines? :evil:

    Yeh - but the downside is you have to put up with Burt Reynolds really crap jokes, avoid flying kicks from Jackie Chan, and watch out for love bites from Jaws (the man, not the shark!)

    We've watched a couple of shows on this, one with Ruby Wax and the other with the guy out of Jackass which had a bunch of girls taking part in a MINI Cooper. Both highly entertaining.
    Hmm, Maybe one year
