Its a crying shame 3 of the 5 SLR's entered in this years Gumball broke down due to alternator problems. A team of technicians had to be flown to Thailand to get them running again. The ones that didnt break down were still serviced by the technicians because they assumed they would break also. Those SLR's were the best looking cars in the rally though!

Lookin' Good. But the camoflauged RR Phantom is a little too much.

I agree.

I guess it wasn't camouflaged enough, though...
