News bit-tech goes Gumballing - again!

Shotgun.

 

****!

 

Roofrack!

 

****!!!!

Uhh... boot!?

 

But then how would you drive ?

 

u only need the one foot for the accelerator fella

 

Dont need any if you have Hand Controls

 

They looked in top notch condition to me, I dont see how you can see from the photos that they are ill?

 

To tell you some news about the rally. Never EVER go through the Netherlands with a rally because our police is the best in catching speeding drivers. We Dutch know that.

Allready about 7 drivers where stopped and cars are convescated/removed from Dutch highway at the A1, A2 and A27 and lost their drivers licenses and it rained tickets for 12 others...

In Belgium it is also a bad idea to pass through: 21 contestens got tickets for speeding. And 2 lost their drivers licence.

In Germany 71 drivers got a ticket for avoiding traffic on the escape lane (probably on the same highway).

Makes:
2 cars where taken in by the Dutch Police
9 drivers are out of the rally (or are now co-drivers) because of lost licenses.
104 had speeding tickets

Side notes:
Rapper Xzibit (mtv host) lost his drivers license also in my country. He was going 160km where 100km is allowed. Dutch police dont care who you are, why you did it or how you did it...

Also Dutch spectators alongside the highway (standing on the escape lane) where ticketed too.

 

Genius! I wonder how he'll present Pimp My Ride

 

I've lost my license three times just for speeding. No dui, no reckless driving, I just am the most unlucky driver ever and every time my foot gets a little heavy and I go five mph over, a cop seems to be waiting for me. I don't know how it is elseware, but here it's all about money, the local government just wants to suck all the money they can out of taxpaying, lawabiding citizens. Generally, the judge just says pay double the fine and we'll take this off your record. It's all about money. As a result, I have learned to distrust all cops, a sad way to be for a regular noncriminal citizen.

 

Hate to tell you Lazarus, but 5 mph over is not "lawabiding" (technically)

 

Is it illegal to stand on the side of the road in Holland?

 

I don't know but it certainly is dangerous, is a car come crashing to you...videos of it avalable on the net.
You could drive with one foot, but having a manual gearbox on a ferrari or lambo, with clutch pedal, is cool.
I know there also are hand paddles for shifting gear, in that case a leg is enough !

Love the cars, BTW they all appear to have the same stickers, placed differently.

 

On a highway/freeway? If you have no proper buisiness there like a broken down car or something, yes it's illegal! And I bet it's the same in the UK..

And to lose your driverlicense in our country you'll have to do over 50 km/h faster then allowed.. Anything under 50 is just a fine..

I don't feel sorry for those Gumballers at all, the public road is no place to hold a race.. Good luck getting those licenses back, lol..

 

In the UK you can be fined but not arrested for standing at the side of the road because it's dangerous to you and to drivers.

 

Those are some pretty nice curves.

The cars ain't half-bad, either.

Said it once before, but I'm rather jealous, Mr. T

(Nice photography too, )

 

Xzibit is winning! Go Xzibit Jamiroquai is not far behind him though, and Giuliana Marino nor far behind them

so does loosing your licence in one country mean you cant drive in any country ?
