Another reason to hate the French... and Spanish...

[Jamezilla]

Yep - those Francaise gendarmes have alerted the Espanol... ah, whatever Spanish police are called... to stop the Gumballers!

The Spanish police who, juding from that video of the guy on the motorbike I saw the other day, seem to be fresh out of humor have impounded 20-cars and thrown some of the automotive aristocracy behind bars.

Props though to the guy who travelled 210km in 50 mins

The Gumball has an £8000 entry fee (not including car, fuel, tyres, bribes, tolls etc) and last year (in the US) generated nearly $20,000 in fines! Tattslotto - here we come!

[Jamezilla]

Oh - yeah. My bad.

BTW: That's a Victorian traffic cop's weekly quota
