Anyone catch Gumball 3000 on Fuel [Foxtel] with that PorschePowered Samba??

Taken what he's done to it someone in the UK/Europ will no doubt buy it

23 Window deluxe too!... man that bus is noice!!!

And you gotta love the trailer made from the ass of a baywindow!

Tre' chic!

Well
I like him, he dose his own thing and he seems to be reasonably down to earth. And the kombi looks great too. Good on him!
Rob...

Yep

I'm a fan of him as well

Dont have cable or whatever......so missed the show

Jamie who???? nice bus ,but money can buy you anything nice if you have plenty of it

It hasnt got a Porsche 3.6 in it it is a type 4 from a 914, so is still a 4 cylinder with a porsche fan kit.
Built by Terry from Terry's beetle services.

wasn't on cable, it was on channel ten. i recorded it to watch later.
we were watching beyond tomorrow, which was showing new gadgets at a big gadget show in vegas. There was a brief clip a fully teched up bug, I'm searching for a pic online now.

That stove is a gaggennaeu,

Read very expensive just for a 2 burner.

How I would love to drive round Italy in a Split,


And I'm a Chef!!

Yeah it didn't sound like a flat 6. Could believe he'd put oil in through the breather - and was wondering why she was smoking. Explains why he's such a great cook, and not a mechanic. :thumb

wont all those windows let too much sun in and send the food bad. At least Geezers grown out of his 'Quadraphenia' mod phase. Love that sliding rear drawer...

i bet hes going to regret selling that van when the little ones get older...

good on him

Damn well missed it coz the missus wanted to watch something else - oh well that's life but next week will be a different story.
Amazing how he chooses to drive the Samba

Yeah I reckon he's a solid bloke really. It seems that anyone who sticks their neck out in the UK gets a slap in the face from the populus, but it's not as if he hasn't made a difference for the better. The School Dinners mission he set himself, the Fifteen project and all this whilst he's starting a family, not bad going..

During my UK days, I remember reading that his VW was an award winner and featured in VolksWorld a few times.. Can't remember who built it and Google doesn't seem to know either..

What a great advetnure cruising around Italy cooking wherever the view warrants a rest - il perfecto!!

Missed it, only read this thread at 8:30 last night. I saw the school dinners stuff in the UK. I like him as a chef as well as a TV personality. Although if he says his van was a "complete pain in the arse" he probably isn't much of a mechanic!

well it doesn't help when you try to fill the oil breather box with oil!

it's on again next week, I think he's in trouble looks like he ran over someone ha ha.:bounce

The van was originally built by Matt Keene ( who now writes for Volks World) and was fitted with a type 4 turbo motor which was changed to the current N/A type 4.

Fred

on again tonite
