Gumball 3000 2012: Bicycle Powered by AMG V8

Ladies and Gentlemen drivers, we have now brought along your radom Gumball video from this year’s edition of the event, so please take a seat and enjoy the virtual ride (six wheels are included).
Not all those who want to take part in the Gumball Rally have the money to do it, but those who do have big hearts and want to help other. The adjacent clip, which comes from Youtube user DtRockstar1, brings us a perfect example of this.

We footage allows us to see a man that wants to be a part of the Gumball phenomenon, but only has a stunt bike. Could he pedal for 3,000 miles? Of course he couldn’t, so he needed a bit of help and a supercar was there to lend him a hp.
