Mungler Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 That looks like the country lane (back road route) to Southend sea front on a Saturday night. Mind you, I doubt that they all had pumpin bass and a bottle blond co-driver clad in Burberry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john faul Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 i didnt see gronholms car but they are seriously well trained and very fast at what they do each of them have a individual task. we tried to make it too the final stage mullachmore but the traffic was too heavy and a very long walk so didnt go. we left our house at 5 to be down at the service for 1/4 to 7 it was definately worth it hope it comes in 09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
