Gumball
After last years euro event (£450 Alfas to Milan and back via the alps and the 'ring) I'm thinking of organising a one off Gumball style race across europe. First thoughts are Folkestone (or rather Calais, thinking meet at Folkestone, cross in the tunnel, then organise a timed leave) to Messina (Sicily). Leave at a set time, then your till receipt at the hotle bar is your arrival ticket. Fastest one there wins nothing but bragging rights.
This is just a thought at the moment, with no set date or particular plans, but I wondered if anybody would be interested... |

I'd absolutely love to do something like this, was trying to an entry into the Scumball with some friends sorted but nothing came of it.
I'll be keeping my eye on this thread

I'd love to do this but I'm too sensible when it comes to driving (unless I have access to blue lightage and authority
 )! lol! I'd be the James May of the crew!

Only if I stay on this side of the pond. Imagine a 44 year old fart with a greying beard driving a 57 year old Jeep that's only capable of 45-50mph max. And an acceleration rate comparable to a cruise ship. Mind you, 455 miles in my Jeep would leave me in a wheel chair. More than about 30 miles and I'm in serious need of a chiropractor. That thing has NO suspension movement. But somehow I don't think I'd ever be able to participate in a function like this. Money is non-existent for just about anything, let alone shipping my Jeep to Europe.
