Its been repeated about 5 times this Christmas, so chances are you'll be OK.

I tell you what though, the people on it are far less twatty than most of the 04 or 05 Gumballers. (Note the word MOST before the fan boys kick off ) Not sure why that is.

Anybody know roughly how much the cannonball rallys cost to enter?

Sounds like a laugh and maybe a bit more realistic than the Gumball which you need to be seriously rich to enter, even if its in a 2CV.

Keep checking out Cannonball run from this year from when they went to the Ring.

I believe the owner of a Porsche admits getting his arse wooped by a nova lol, I wonder who that might of been

check out www.fuckyeah.co.uk for pics of our trip and there is quite a few pics of the Cnnonball cars there too
