Well done - and 17th is a great place when you look at all the exotica surrounding you!

Chris

Thanks again, The result is very satisfying & without a lot of the niggles others had with their cars + no tickets, Skoda stealth obviously is an advantage

How about a Briskoda entry for 2005 ? :rubchin:

me and my brother have become fairly big fans of the whole gumball/cannonball thing and have a few of the dvd's.

theres one we have from 2003 i think and there is quite a lot of Staurts Skoda on it, cant remember the exact name of the dvd but it centres around a yellow M3, a nitrous'd range rover and a very quick supra.

there was a bit in it where stu's octy had been following the range rover for the best part of the night before going past, and a modded merc slk that totalled the car on the exit of an island or something.

we've already said that if a lotto win comes in we'll be buying a big quick merc or something and doing it.

Therea a new dvd out in about 4 weeks of this years cannonball, will be available through www.cannonballruneurope.co.uk

The Merc that totalled straight lined the roundabout in the wet & ended up in a concrete storm drain & yes it was totalled

The Winter cannonball is runing this week, they are already making the news

You dont need a supercar, the best thing to take is a chipped Diesel with a big tank, The Dutch equivalent of the cannonball was won by a Chipped Superb with a massive tank, about 800-1000 mile range I think

I see an appearance from the fabia vRS coming.

Ross C get your **** in gear and get over there mate haha!

Would seriuosly love to do it, have been looking into it for some months, may try and make one in the upcoming year!

This Summer may well be the last Southern European Rallys as the Authorities are really starting to clamp down, looks like Eastern Europe after that, theres also a South African event being rumoured

I see in my crystal ball a leopard skin vRS with Briskoda stickers slapped all over it haha!

was talking to my bro again over the weekend and his partners brother (slightly wedged) is starting to talk about doing this.

dont know what he's thinking of buying to run it in but my bro was saying something about the 2005 run costing

Enjoyed reading all of this.congratulations. would love to have a lambo(gallardo was it?) in my rear view mirror :auto: :bike:

This lad (the one who apparently read up on it) isnt the best at explaining things without them getting alittle exaggrated (sp?) so this wouldnt surprise me at all.

thanks for clearing it up Stu.

Watched this last night on men and motors.Think it was the same one as the Range Rover driver mentioned the Skoda 'coming up behind them'.

Looked good fun.It mentioned most of the entrants were dot com millionaires. Is this true then???????

Porsche GT2 driver was slightly not all there with the driving :eek: mad!

That was 2 years ago, The Guy in the Rangey was my mate who had the Lambo this year, we also have some footage of us passing Jaffa cakes between the cars at about 100 mph which didnt make it into the DVD. The DVD for the last Cannonball is being premiered this Friday night so should be in the shops in a couple of Months.

Rob Kenworthy who drove the GT2 was shall we say somewhat quick although he does take risks that many normal mortals wouldnt, I am amased that his co driver isnt at all worried by his antics. He finished the event with a speed of +70, thats 70 mph over the average set for the event which was 70. Yep averaged 140 mph for 3000 miles :eek: :eek: The car is a "breathed on" GT2 & was pulling speeds somewhat above 200 on the Motorways & he also uses the hard shoulder at times. If you see Gunball 3000 hes also in that

200 plus :eek: 140 average :eek: wouldn't go in that passenger seat

Look forward to seein the DVD and hopefully clips of the skoda.That Lambo makes orange cars look stunning (never thought I would say that unless I was into max powering)
