Default New Cross Country Record

http://jalopnik.com/cars/speed-recor...ord-310735.php

This is the one to read:
http://jalopnik.com/cars/speed-recor...ure-310815.php

Alex Roy, the funny guy in the E39 M5 from the Gumball rallies, did it in 31 hours.



Average speed was in the 98 mph range with gas stops. They had a plane to scout ahead looking for speed traps.



Hopefully Terry reads this. I'd like to challenge it this winter.

I applaud his achievment but I hate that guy with a passion, maybe its the video editing they do, but that guy comes off as a colossal douch and a half in all the Gumball videos.

Are you kidding me? Alex Roy is fucking hilarious.


I gotta go and find the video of him changing into his Tron outfit in the McDonald's parking lot. It's priceless.

He wasn't to bad int the older videos, but for some reason in the last one (06') when he was doing the competition with the guy from BBC he seemed like a rich asshole. Ehh maybe its just me.
