Hi, Can anyone confirm that the guy in front of the GT is Rob Bibo? Not seen him in a while. He crached out of the 2004 Gumball on the first night enroute to Madrid in a heavy thunder and hail storm. Lucky man not to have bee hurt.

This crash was at speed and in the rain so I am told. My sympathies are with the car............Was it you again Rob

crashing is stupid, but ok. No-one can tell/

Standing on the front wing looking cool is acting like an idiot.

"Wow dude can't believe you wrecked yer ride dude"

If you've seen the video, you can tell he's trying to figure out how to open his stuck hood. Probably to get to his wallet.
