Default The poor mans Gumball!with pics!

Afternoon all, My brother is doing "Staples 2 Naples"(staples corner in london to naples, Italy)Next weekend, it's a poor mans Gumball as all cars have to cost £100 or less,
Check out this BX, He's wired the suspension so it's like hydraulics, fitted a PA system(which I just tried out in the High street!It is so funny)got glitter balls and CB's etc.I'm well jeolous.


and finally, on the highest setting, We nearly rolled it earlier!

This seems such a laugh, next year I'm gonna do it deffo!
Wish him luck if you see him!
Andy

Good stuff I was planning on doing the Plymouth to Dakar rally which is similar to what your brothers doing, but then they changed the rules and regs as too many people applied ...they now want just LHD vehicles entering it. The vehciles and the rest of the stuff gets auctioned off at Dakar

BX's had that as standard, done it many a time with me mums one, usually set it nice and low for a bit of motorway blasting

Shame really they can only cost £100 mean I can't enter
