Default Stop Press....Jim Gallbally in World Record Bus Jumping Attempt

Today at Silverstone, our very own Jim Gallyballywally tried to break the world record for jumping an E36 M3 across 47 double decker buses.

He clipped the 46th bus narrowly missing the record.

Here is the result........



Please note.....No Animals or Jims were harmed during this record attempt.

Unlucky Jimbo, but I am sure this will be the begining of something to beat your 8.39 ring record!!!

really felt sorry for him TBH

comin onto the straight and it went sideways, and then snapped back the otherway
soon as it touched the grass, it just headed straight for the wall

made me go a bit steady the next session i can tell you!



SO slippery today though,, even my car at a measnly level of power was wheelspinning in 3rd coming onto the straights etc.

Was good to see you today Jim, and as Whippy says you were going well.

So sorry to see you wrapped it!

It was super deadly slippy today. They had a historic meet the week before so lots of oil and fuel down, plus a Celica dropped oil all round the track on the racing line. Proper proper slippy!!!
