Gumball 3000
Spent a sunny afternoon watching the rich and famous have fun. Awesome cars with some great paint jobs were on display. I took up a good position on
Westminster bridge to catch the cars heading for the coast. Managed to speak to Jay Kay and said his new ride was more comy than the Enzo ! He offered
a ride to Istanbul, naturally, I had to refuse coz I didn't have my passport on me. Also got a nice wave from Jodi Kidd too ! All in a good day
car spotting.
jodi says hi too

Jodi rang me this morning and asked if I'd come with her. I had to say no, as the wife wanted me to go to Sainsburys

this Bentley didn,t hang around though. I still managed to overtake him up the Old Kent Road though
A bit of local knowledge does make a difference you know

I'd love to do it, but it is seriously expensive. I just couldn't believe the hardwear people were using to compete this year. Bugatti
Veyron , Jaguar 220.... need I say more !
I did see a TVR though, it had managed to get to Westminster bridge then stopped
I think 17 countries in 7 days was a bit optimistic for a TVR.

Ferrari stuck in a 6 mile traffic jam, will need a full engine and gearbox rebuild then

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
