    I'd want pots of money to do something like that, don't get me wrong I'd love to do it, but unless I had money to burn I don't think it'll ever be a possibility.

    Something like the scumball or one of the smaller ones are a definate maybe though. Have a look in the back of EVO magazine Paul, they generally advertise them all in there.

    Exactly, add in to that beer, more food, night clubs, bribes, fuel, and some other serious carrying around money and I bet your not far short of £6000.

    /Plays 'Magic Roundabout' theme music....

    Gumball - No.

    I did think last year of entering Goldie for the Scumball Rally... Not sure the Coupe would meet the entry requirements though.

    Watched this programme, but just thought driving 650 miles on the second day would be tedious - some fab cars though and what about those nutters in the Atom

    Yeah, 2007 should see some Track action, but I doubt we'll be going to the 'Ring.... Can't say I fancy doing a 'Full' trackday either - Don't want all that cash being abused! And the track might be dirty!

    nurburgring..............possibility

    cannonball 8000.................. not a possibility at that price

    Maybe we can do our own run, from channel tunnel,go to prague then budapest then back to prague then budapest, sleep in our cars, we could save a fortune
