Gumball 3000

[glojo]

Well I have been reading posts about chavs etc, but this Gumball 3000 deserves an Oscar for demonstrating just how money can corrupt some folks standards of behaviour.

Ferrari Enzo's, Lamborghini, the longest stretched Hum Vee I've ever seen, Bentleys, all with extrovert occupants not afraid to pull their shorts down and urinate right on the side of the carriageway in full view of the public, doing doughnuts in petrol station's overtaking on hard shoulders, cars with blue lights, sirens etc plus drinking champagne whilst driving!!! Proud to be British? Am I old fashioned? Am I a snob?

Etreme Sport??? I think not. Channel 419 Extreme Sports.


One girl crew bought a Caterham Seven, were stopped by the Police seven times and eventually simply dumped their car and got a lift to Monaco.

Regards,
John the old grump

Just watched a Rolls Royce Phantom get wrote off as it lost control on a dual carriageway and smash into the armco. Bits flying everywhere
