Jolly Green Monster 2

Did anyone see it last night?

That guy in the Ferrari that crashed at about 140-150mph...
and his ear had to be stitched back on .... mad

The was a red Scooby and an Evo in the line up on cars doing the 13country trip.... but they didn't focus on them much, the Ferrari's got mosto f the camera time... not complaining..

I like the reg on the MR2... ** 007

LEE-69

yes saw it first time round.very good insight into it.shame about the rich guys car at the end,200 yds or whatever,from the end of the run.

druddle

Yeah i saw that too. It was from 2000.

Best bits were seeing the Ferrari drivers scrapes after he had turned it over at high speed, and the burnouts they did out of every toll/border crossing !!

Also, what about the bit where the Latvians wouldnt let them into the country so the organiser took the keys of the truck that was blocking the exit out of the country and blocked it all up !!

What about Steveo getting his leopard skin thong out at every opportunity. Hilarious !!

"Hi im Johnny Knoxville, welcome to Jackass".

The funniest bit defintely was when they got that kid to kick Johnny (i think) in the nuts. The kid looked like he really meant it !!

It was the same year that ruby wax did a programme on it (she was lurking in the background) good to see another side of the same event. Saw more of the Ferrari carnage on Ruby Wax's show tho.

I was a bit disappointed that all we got was a focus in on a polaroid picture of the Ferrari... and to see the guys sewn on ear.. missed the Ruby wax program...

MikesWagon

Didn't see this, but saw the Ruby Wax program. Shame about the red Ferrari - NOT - the guy was a tube.

Don't know why, but the progs where there's vomitting involved make me laugh - drinking a gallon of milk, eating hard boiled eggs etc. Great when Preston Lacey (the fat bloke) and the guy next to him vomit into bucket at the same time.

the event shown was the Gumball rally that was held last year..that is the 2001 rally.

In 2000 I had the greatest please in partaking in the Gumball rally and went to Spain, Cannes, Italy, Switzerland< Germany b4 coming back to London for the Finish Reception (ginormous p*** up).

In 2000 a Lambo was stolen from the Hotel underground car park in Cannes. Major highlight was the guys who got fined mega bucks by german police for reckless driving at high speed. One got done for around £17k and he paid that in CASH so that he could get his car back and drive to the reception!!!

The one on Jackass finished in Beaulieu cos they were banned from London. I was sure the stickers said 2000. Its where 4 cars were hijacked in Latvia.

I may (probably) be wrong !!

That was the one I watched on E4 last ngiht for sure Druddle.

I noticed there was then two Jackasses back to back on MTV as well last night so I guess the repeat them all lots then.

They were joisting with dustbin lids on BMX's at a medieval meet
in the one on MTV..

"Hi, i'm Jonny Knoxville. Today i'm gonna be bobbing for jellyfish"

ragnarock

Jolly Green Monster 2

I wish I had had a video camera as a kid, I could have made loads of dosh with my stunts.....

And now Jolly rides his Striker off the Shed roof!

Of course I can ride my BMX down that flight of stairs...!

Hey look a blood beard... cool

Wow Dad's tractor drives on its own if you put it in gear and set the throttle and then jump out hey look at it go....

ho ho JGM

JoeyDeacon

Hate to be picky but it was Steveo in the bobbing for jellyfish scene.

Have to say the sickest thing I have seen on Jackass was when the guy made an omlette. First of all he ate all the ingredients and threw them back up into a frying pan. He then cooked the omlette and ate it again...

Sick, sick people!

This programme makes Trigger Happy TV look absolute rubbish

druddle

Ahhhhhhhhh i get it. Nuff said. What did you drive in 2000 Mark ?

Dave

evo kid

A bloke i know that lives near me went on last years gum ball rally in his red scoob , he was on the rubby wax show in the back ground with the evo .

he is a bit of a nutter any way , holds a couple of world records for motor bike jumps , oh and he wrote his scoob off on new years day .

simon_prickett

The German guy who crashed near Beaulieu is Kim Schmitz, ex hacker, and now venture capitalist etc, etc. He was recently arrested by the Germans for suspected insider trading.

Kim's Gumball pics are here.

Gumball 3000
2000


In a cross between the ‘Wacky Races’ and the legendary ‘Cannonball Run’ films Gumball 3000 had more thrills and spills than any movie scripts with 75 cars and 3 fearless motorbikes driven by their famous and eccentric owners. Setting off from London’s Marble Arch, the first stop was Stansted Airport where two mighty Russian Antinov’s flew the cars to Spain.

The first act of real lunacy came in Spain with the airport runway looking distinctively like a race circuit, and Gumballers treating it like one reaching speeds of 180mph. The ‘gaggle’ of Ferrari’s, McLaren’s, Lamborghini’s and numerous muscle cars then sped off Bilbao to the incredible Guggenheim Museum.

Outside the museum ex-‘Great Train robber’ Bruce Reynolds, along with Goldie and Cass from Skunk Anansie schemed their dastardly tricks, whilst other Gumballers span doughnuts haplessly leaving their ‘tags’ on the road.

Tragedy struck on day 2 with Fuel Records 70s Dodge Challenger, the Ferrari F40, the ‘Placebo’ Corvette, the white E-Type Jag and a 1 week old Maserati 3200GT all left roadside and truly worse for wear. The French Police first encountered the Gumball in the shape of a topless Tara Palmer-Tomkinson purring along in her Jaguar XK8 Silverstone and news broke fast of ex-boxer Chris Eubank also caught speeding. The law knows better than to mess with Eubank and he was ‘let off’ with signing autographs and posing for photographs.

The Cannes party raved on until daybreak. With the unnervingly polite Happy Mondays causing less havoc than was expected and Julian Lennon flying higher than the Antanov’s, the party rocked. Dawn broke and the flag dropped to send the now 59 cars, excluding a ‘mysteriously stolen’ Lamborghini Diablo, on to lunch in Milan
The Alps were then tackled en route to the Black Forrest where the Gumball castle was buzzing, with Tara P-T on the piano, soul diva Kym Mazelle singing, Steve Hewitt from Placebo drumming on the bar, Happy Mondays Bez doing the dance that only he can, and somehow Goldie ‘mixing!!!’ The days driving also hadn’t gone without incident as two Ferrari drivers picked up the worlds largest speeding fine ever, £18,000 no less!!!!

Day 4 began with a visit to Hockenheim race circuit, showed us if those ‘wannabe’ racing drivers could really drive, or if it was all for show. But, with the circuit booked for 8-9AM, only Charles Morgan and ex-Grand Prix driver Christopher Lawrence were ready at the wheel the rest of the pack seemed to be feeling somewhat worst for wear! The day was ended with a night on the ‘Love Boat’. With love being the operative word, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson married England’s most outlandish film maker Skiny and Verve Clicquot champagne was provided by it’s owner Count Edouard de Nazelle! Back in England after an amazing lunch at the Lotus factory it was on to London for the champagne soaking finish party!

With more dastardly antics than the film that inspired its origin, this years Gumball 3000 provided enough action to fuel any movie. More star studded than Formula One. And definitely more rock ‘n’ roll than any other car rally. The Gumball 3000 changed lives. After 5 sleepless nights arriving home seemed more completing a ‘tour of duty’. This year’s Gumball 3000 rally was and will be LEGENDARY!

Will Europe ever be the same again?

I thought I saw "GUMBALL 3000" on car stickers and assuming it was a take the pee out of 2000 type joke.

I saw the red scooby on there in the back ground a number of times... shame he wrote it off then!
