Team MTV is ready for Gumball 2007

The Gumball 3000 rally kicks off this Sunday and MTV intrepid reporter Rickie is going all the way Asia and back. Rickie, producer James and their mate from MTV Pakistan Wiqar have got a pimped up supercharged Range Rover (credits to Saxtons 4×4) to race in. It’s also got a PS3 in the back (credits to EA Games) so they won’t get bored. They’ll be following the teams’ progress back in Blighty as they visit Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Athens, Berlin and the rest of Europe! Rickie told us what he’s looking forward to: “I’m excited about the long hours driving to parties,” he said. “It will be cool to meet Xzibit, Jay Kay (from Jamiriquai) and play pranks on Danny Dyer.” “It’ll be great to visit Athens too and we’re having a black tie dinner with the President of Albania. But of course I’ll miss Shantha!” Follow the team’s progress from now till the finishing line right here.
