bigsi Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 alex roy is a dick, he was the first one to slate the gumball after the accident, offered to then run his own version or take the gumball over, slated the speeds that everyone went at, basically stabbed everyone in the back, and to top it off he then does this!!!, im sorry i have no love for the bloke i know maximillions views on him arent very good either. his reputation between most gumballers is very low. why is he bald?? because his head has been up his own arse so many times.

WayneB Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) All that lot are a bunch of mo-money than sense clowns who have turned what was originally an exciting covert event into nothing more than a p*ss up in a circus. I met Brock Yates once (who founded and ran in the original Cannonball events), and he is saddened and more than a little embarrased by what it has been reduced too.

karluk29 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 wow me and bigsi disagree for once, i like alex-roy, he is not that bad, off to buy his book infact. and he let me take pics inside his bentley at all the illegal jammers lol. rumour is though max is a bit of a dick in real life and his misses, from a very very reliable source close to him. he is a bit of a car snob, well i suppose if you have the cash and all that.
