    I'm wondering if....

    anyone has ever done a Gumball style race East - West coast?

    Just hypothetical speaking, would people be game enough to do this in this age of "impounding vehicles & shredding them"?

    I have been a big fan of "Team Polizei" (Alex Roy)

    for some time now and I'd love to do something like that - alas, I don't have a suitable ride right now

    Of course it is totally irresponsible & dangerous and you may loose your ride....

    Opinions?

    Too dangerous... you're in enough trouble if you hit a kangaroo at legal speeds, let alone at high speed. And no matter how good a driver you might be, and no matter how good your car, there are other road users out there with the intellectual ability of a small rodent - and you have to share the road with them.

    It's a romantic idea, but the world's moved on.
