Bullrun

[humor_me]

Any one watch this dribble?
I just saw the first one that I'd tivo'd (I know it's not a word).

I got to give them credit, though the first episode this girl team showed these guys how to fix a radiator leak with a tampon.

All these guys standing around were completely dumbstruck to see these chicks drop a tampon in the radiator and the leak stopped immediately.

It is on Spike TV.

No, it was right out of the package. I could just see the guys if it were a used one.

Disclaimer:

Yeah, I know it's a lame show, but it's about Cars and people stabbing each other in the back , and people doing stupid things in cars!

and people doing stupid things in cars!

Lame or not, I've been watching it. The best part is the fact that people do stupid things in cars!!! The back stabbing, bickering, and interpersonal dynamics are just sort of a bonus.

Kind of reminds me of work.

I haven't seen it, but I will check it out now.
My favorite Spike TV show now is MXC I think the voiceover guys are amazing. The writing is hilarious. anyone else watch this?

I found the race website, a lot of info and videos

Bullrun

Roadking, if you catch the next episode it looks like you will be able to see two fat arrogant guys smash up their prized Lamborgini in one of the tests! These are the same guys who had a little clutch trouble so they drove the Lambo across the start line, onto a car carrier, and then carried the car the whole day until they got to the finish line where they unloaded the Lambo and drove it 200' over the finish line.

You may also want to hunt around because they re-broadcast the episodes so you may still be able to catch the first couple episodes.

I watched "Bullrun" for about five minutes and gave up. Not impressed and certainly not entertained. Id rather watch snow melt. BUT to each his own.

Thanks HM!!!!

Last night the Ford F150 out ran the Lambo in a slalom competition. Not to mention the Lambo's owner was already incensed that he hit a racoon the size of a small German Shepard. He said that the rally has already done about $60K worth of damage to the body.

My words to him:
Hey dumbass next time don't bring such a prima-dona car to a rally.

Seems to me the most competitive 2 cars in Bullrun may very well be the most stock newer vehicles. The Ford F150 and the Pontiac Trans Am look to be totally trouble free in every way, they are also basically stock vehicles from what I can tell.

The hyped up Honda and BMW both have had grief. Two of the 3 classic cars (57 Chevy & 60's Mustang) are in deep trouble, with the Mustang eliminated last night. The custom built GTO is one of the most refined cars in the race, but that appears to be a ground up mega-bucks rebuild to very high standards.

There are a couple guys in a Hurst Oldsmobile that are idiots, get lost all the time, and I'm not sure how they have managed to stay in this long other than by dumb luck. . . the car seems reliable, but the drivers are not.

The nut between between the steering wheel and the seat is a little loose?

(That's LOOSE dammit GB, not lose! )

Yep, and underline - American Iron! Best stuff out there.
Although I can't understand what those guys in the '57 are doing in this type of a race (I was laughing my ass off about the exhaust leaking into the cabin the other night).
And I marginally thought that about the Mustang - well last night that was it for them when they lost a lifter.

I finally caught the show. I like it.
For those who have not seen it:
The first two to get to each checkpoint get to name two other competitors to go head to head in a driving challenge. The winner of the challenge gets to maintain their point standings if they are already ahead of their competitor, or if they are behind in points and they win the competition they get to swap points with the team they beat.
This week they put up the 57 Chevy against a BMW m3, and a Lamborghini against a Lotus. If you like cars it's fun to watch

The Lambo refused to run as his clutch was about gone. He's out of the race now. He didn't even make it to the next check point .....well, technically he made it but he was on a tow truck.
