Salt Lake City Limits
9th May 2006 3:20 PM

We hit Salt Lake City after an Icelandic Air flight that was banannas with Dan getting a crazy art wall going and me getting the air hostess to wear a gimp mask..

We got the Rolls Royce boys reunited with their grille. We then went on to leave the airport with the pack and got about 200 yds and then the fuel pump dies...

This means we've got a major job on our hands but with help of Maria the gas station girl and Dave our redneck partners we were on the road again within an hour heading towards Las Vegas.

We got pulled for speeding and then arrived in Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel where Dan did a huge burn out...

Then naturally we lit the fire works but one fell over and hit the crowd! The Hard Rock security went nuts because as we had arrived Snoop Dogg had arrived too and nobody had paid him any attention!! The security gaurds eventually warmed to our charm though and agreed that the Brits are the Original Kings of Chaos!

The next morning we rocked out of Vegas and straight to Death Valley where we came across the new Dodge Challenger being photographed. I actually started it and revved it hard -fucking cool or what? 

On we went to LA where we were at the Playboy Mansion with old Hugh Heffner and Ron Jeremy. The Playboy Mansion was shit and we all got chucked out for two many cock jokes and doing naked backflips in the pool. 

This is definately the maddest Gumball ever and we made it the most outrageous.

Signing out,

Hi Speed Hungary
8th May 2006 1:50 AM

Want to see what Hungarian public roads look like at just a shade under 200mph? Go ahead and click play!

This video is taken at high speed chasing a Lambo through Hungary. Look out for the motorcyclist who must be wondering "WTF" and that big truck on the horizon - DOH!

 

Bangkok Thailand
6th May 2006 9:04 AM

Ok so it all started in London back on Sunday...

Me and Dan have been through hell and back and our car is lucky to have got us this far.

Last two days we have been in Thailand and have got our car fixed and its firing on all cylinders.

We traded up a cross swords Thai Police badge for a Gumball jacket and have had little trouble with them at all. Me and Dan held a fire work display for the cops as well which they loved. 

In Bangkok we managed to find our way to the red light district and ended up having a TUK TUK Race back to the hotel with Gumball organiser Max and Ed Leigh.

We were Team Gimp and we won the race but when it went up on two wheels I shit myself. 

We lost a Lambo today it smashed a tree in half and we ended up having a picknic with the two drivers who were still in shock needless to say.. 

This is hardcore - we are off to Salt Lake USA now see ya!

BANGKOK OR BUST
4th May 2006 4:30 PM

We are now a third of the way to Bangkok and have loads of exciting stories but again brief update..

We managed to get the car fixed by the mechanics at Thai airways so the Angry Pirate lives to fight another day. We have got some great footage from our ride on the antinov but the highlight has to be when dan had a piss on a rather nice Ferrari.

I'm going to upload some more pics (check out the pics of the smashed up Roller poor - fuckers gonna send the grille home in a box). Will report back from Bangkok. (Has anyone heard of the Manquariam...?)

Hard Gumballers over and out!

Arrived in Thailand
3rd May 2006 1:45 PM

OK, I'll make this quick...

Just spent 14 hours on a Ukranian jet with the cars. No one sits down on the plane, there was vodka, porn and *other stuff a plenty.

We wanted to do a 30,000 feet burnout but the cargo deck is not pressurised so we were told to try and if we live for more than 1 minute without oxygen knock 3 times to get back in the pressurised zone.

The car is slightly broken. Thai AIr mechanics are fitting a new gasket on the runaway. Support these guys - fly Thai. The Angry Pirate isn't the only one with problems. 15% of cars have retired and 3 Merc SLR's are all being repaired with the same alternator problem.

Beach party tonight...! I'm fucked. Thinking of stealing an elephant and setting up a travelling circus. Has to be easier than this....

LEAVING SERBIA
2nd May 2006 2:00 PM

Thank fuck for the blackberry - im writing this as we depart Serbia and this may be our final goodbye.

We are now waiting to board the cargo plane to Phuket (everyone else went by private jet, but we thought it would be funnier to get in the cargo plane with the Russians - we have been told to take sleeping bags and ski masks incase we freeze in the hold)

Basically we drove for 20 fuckin hours to get to Hungry for the Angry Pirate to break down!!! Fuck. We had another 6 hours to get to the hotel but by this time where hallucinating from lack of sleep (and the rest!!) I now havent slept for 4 fuckin days - nor have I had a wank - so maybe I'Il get a chance on the plane. If my dick doesnt drop off with frostbite

Cause we cant take fireworks on the plane (doh - obviously) we had to set them all off in one go in Budapest - it was like 5th November and I was guy fawks (you should see pics)

This is the plan people. We are gonna fly in the fucked up car to Thailand where our good friend Andy Barnes from Sumo Power is hopefully gonna sort us with a few good Thai mechanics.  Exhasut + thai mechanics + turbo working = fixed car = Playboy Mansion - here we come

right now fucked exhaust + tiredness of Jesus + same pants for 5 days + come down = death and no Playboy Mansion

Gumball Rally 'When you join the army and they break you down in the first week, so you think you are gonna die. Then everyone rallies together to make it through to the next task'

Richie Warren the fucker is a hardcore Gumballer and he broke me on the first day.  I am dying

There was a massive crash with the green cammo roller - the psyco was racing Max at about 150 mph, spun out, went over a bridge and his suitcases went all over the road. Luckily this was caught on film (and he was alive - but the desinger bags where fucked)

have more pics to send on landing

Please pray for me people..... Russian pilots drinking vodka

Trafalger Square here we come

Hi Guys its Richie Fuel. Im just about to go to the start line for the Gumball Rally to meet up with the Sanchez guys - we where all up till 5 partying and now no-one wants to drive the first leg. Headaches all round but I reckon Dan will muster up the energy! First leg is going to a big party in Belgium, then on to Budapest. Im armed with cameras (inside and outside the car) and will be keeping a record of the total mayhem we are about to be involved in.

The Fuel Girls are coming down to give us a last minute glamerous send off - I think they managed to get pirate outfits as our car is called the Angry Pirate..... its a mental drift spec car but probably the most uncomfortable I have ever sat in  - great. 8 Days of a sore arse

Im not in the band Fuel by the way - check out www.liquidinjuredhearing.com for a run down of Fuel.....  

I'll keep everyone updated as we go along and upload some pics (last nights pics a bit too disgusting I feel - i need to edit some fast)

 over and out
