Gumball Rally: Day 6

The Oriental Hotel, Bangkok Thailand

2:54 AM

I’m now going on over twenty four hours awake and it’s been hectic.

I went to bed early on Wednesday night (before 8:00 PM) and popped up at 2:30 AM… It’s now 2:55 AM on Friday morning and I have yet to sleep. When we left the Amanpuri Resort this morning we left our vacation and relaxing times behind. It’s been full bore ever since.

We picked our cars up at the airport around 7:30 Thursday morning and hit the road out of Phuket to Bangkok. Rooftop was at the wheel the first half of the day and was moving fast down two lane highways passing cars at top speed. For a long time we were running behind two Lamborghinis and at one point Rooftop made a double pass on them in the JEEP. They soon overtook us again but they were pissed they had to do it. Rooftop gave them a “shaka” out the window as they passed and we all had a good laugh at that.

Gumball – days 3 & 4 (Hungary/Serbia/Thailand)

We got stuck in the worst city traffic I have witnessed while trying to leave Budapest. Sitting so long in gridlock that Rooftop had time to hop out of the car and film a full street line along the city block. We finally got on the fwy (with me driving) and made up for lost time. I was doing 140mph for so long that the engine cut out to prevent itself from blowing up.

OK, I’ll make this quick…

Just spent 14 hours on a Ukranian jet with the cars. No one sits down on the plane, there was vodka, porn and *other stuff a plenty.

We wanted to do a 30,000 feet burnout but the cargo deck is not pressurised so we were told to try and if we live for more than 1 minute without oxygen knock 3 times to get back in the pressurised zone.

Thank fuck for the blackberry – im writing this as we depart Serbia and this may be our final goodbye.

We are now waiting to board the cargo plane to Phuket (everyone else went by private jet, but we thought it would be funnier to get in the cargo plane with the Russians – we have been told to take sleeping bags and ski masks incase we freeze in the hold)

Basically we drove for 20 fuckin hours to get to Hungry for the Angry Pirate to break down!!! Fuck. We had another 6 hours to get to the hotel but by this time where hallucinating from lack of sleep (and the rest!!) I now havent slept for 4 fuckin days – nor have I had a wank – so maybe I’Il get a chance on the plane. If my dick doesnt drop off with frostbite
