Glad to see people are watching!

I know, nobody looks at TNM threads so..
V-Sol Tracking.

These guys are in the Range Rover, however not sure that they will be in it for the rest.

Looks like they had a little problem.


Or they picked a heffer up.

Whilst travelling the Gumball, the organisers often put a race track along the way.

This year it was the Hungarian Track, sure it was great to watch, and listen.





Vibros Range Rover











I`ll put some picture of croatia up a bit later. All the cars should be there then.

Crotian pics are not around yet, so I thought I would show some of the more realistic cars.




Maybe not that realistic but, 1/4 of the price of the most
