Default FAO anyone following the Gumball info.....

Ford Cossie driven by Martin Hadland has flipped over in Morocco - car total wreck but driver and passenger are okay.

such a shame as they have been doing very well, after a couple of days they turned the car upto full boost and was in the top 30 cars of 180

I hope there ok.

I heard that the King of Morocco said that whilst the gumballers where in the country they would not be stopped for speeding. reports of over 300km/h and quite a few scrapes. got this from the norweigen gumball team in a blue M-roadster

FPMSL

check this post

The guys decided to show us around there hotel,so as we walked through reception,the yellow enzo had JUST pulled up 6hours behind!!! Rumour was he had been to a local Ferrari dealership,and had some "mod`s" done,as he wasnt happy of the fact that a Escort was keeping up with him!!!! So Martoon and Porkie go over and ask him how fast he was going when then went for it,and he said around 173mph,so if a ferrari speedo says it,its GOT TO be true!!!!So Martin gets in this enzo (****ed up) and starts sayin to the guy,"bit **** in here aint it,**** me you aint even got a carpet,what a rip off,but nice seats though"!!!
classic
get well soon

Taken from Team 132 site Hope Porkie is out of hospital soon

Retired cars Saturday 08.05 in Morocco.
Reyland Cosworth
Red Ferrari 360
Dodge Viper




It was the Looney Cosworth that crashed in Marrakech this morning. Team 132 was in front after leaving Marrakech at 8 pm local time today (08.06.2004). There were one or two cars between Team 132 and the Looney Cosworth when it left the road and disappeared in clouds of dust. Parts were shattered over a large area. Team 132 was the first persons to arrive and help them. Fortunately the car was built as a rally car and both persons are ok, circumstances considered. The co-pilot felt unwell and bleed from his nose, so he was taken to a hospital nearby. The car will most likely be shipped back too England.



We do not know the reason for the accident.
