Bank Burners: Stuck in Monte Carlo

Unfortunately can't remember where we parked the cars. So we'll have another beer.

Bank Burners: Lunch

300 miles and Lenny is getting cranky.

Time to stop for lunch before he falls out with Quentin again!!

Bank Burners: Monte Carlo

Continuing the Veyron theme. They are two a penny round here. How about chrome finish fenders sir? Taste, money can't buy it.

This is our new pet Mop the pig.
We have now arrived in Arles far too much motorway, not good.

Day 2 Scores

Sorry for the delay on the scores update. Haven't been able to get a connection on the road. A dodgy dongle perhaps...! Anyways...

Congratulations to the Sandy Gerbils and the Super Mario Brothers for scoring maximum points on day 2 and scooping the daily prize.

There is now a new leader on the main competition. Can they keep the top spot?

Iron lady boys broken down and on the brink of losing their parliamentary seat. Some serious canvassing and good luck required. Stopped just off J44 of A8 if you wanna drop by on way to Arles to finish off mini bar.

HOT FUZZ. Officer Swift looks anxious as he looks at the tunnel which is shut as we leave Italy and head towards France also with one eye to the n\s front area of the bonnet as the Sqaud Car is starting to get a little hot and bothered under the collar and is ready for us to pop our eggs into the expansion bottle and boiled ready for breakfast..Today was meant to be a liitle easier on us after the last two days but we still have around two hundred miles to go as we head down towards Monaco, Nice and then onto Arles !!

HOT FUZZ. As we leave this Beautiful Ski resort in Italy we have been given todays task which is called project pet. Which involves taking pictures in various places,meeting other like minded animals and so on. It just so happens that I bought my son Curtis a new pet yesterday (Its only a St Bernard Love don't worry) called Roda and is now a certified member of our team !!
