And then there were 3.We’re down to the last episode and this has been one hell of a journey. 12 teams started 9 weeks ago with 4,000 miles ahead of them and 200 grand up for grabs. They fought, broke down, got back on the road, and now they’re very, very close to the moment of truth.Prior to this episode to stay in the competition you had to make sure you didn’t come last and you could hang in

Only two episodes are left now, so the pressure is really on. These teams have been on the road for weeks and no one wants to go home without the $200,000 prize.This show really has been a test of character. The Olds Brothers have not made ANY friends on the rally, but they’re from Queens, baby, and they don’t care! Morgan has gone from a sweet, butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-my-mouth girl from Indiana

The official winner of The Ticket to Ride contest is the replica GTO. It was SO tough to decide in the end there is such a great collection and wide variety of cars that we drew out of the hat. Mr. and Mr's GTO, welcome to Bullrun….Start Your Engine!Click here for more about the winner

We wake up in Monument Valley for the start of episode 8. This is such an amazing place — we spent the night in the RV rather than the hotel so we could watch the sunrise over Monument Valley. Truly spectacular, I recommend it! So we’re down to 5 teams now… and this week if you’re not first into the challenge checkpoint you’re definitely in the challenge so it’s gonna get interesting!

Welcome to Bullrun Episode 7 sports fans! So the Mexicans went home and it’s a blow to the whole set. Everyone loved those guys and they had a great attitude. But that’s the way it works… it was so close between them and the Dodge Charger.We had a day off the day before so I went to SEMA to see our friend Claus at his CEC Wheels party and to go to the Scion party. Flew in at 7pm, out at 5am. No

It was tough between the Pacer and the Soarer but confirmed with David andthe Lexus wins it.The winner this week is that amazing Soarer. Some great mods done to thiscar and what a great car to represent the import fans and take on the muscleof the USA and the exotics of Europe.Click here for more about the car

Elko last night was a return to seriously freezing temperatures -- about 4 degrees -- and everyone’s still in shock from the departure of the BMW boys. It isn't much warmer this morning as we get ready for the next leg to Wendover.The Lotus boys are tailing the F150 and the Honda and bugging the shit of them. This week, though, the F150 boys have had enough and record the Lotus speeding with a

DeLorean wins. A tough week! Very different cars lined up for the final but the winner this week is the DeLorean. I’m no fan of Back to the Future but this a real iconic car of the 80s. David and I are both fans of this car. First off, what a great mod job has been done to this car, making it cool for today but not a departure from the original styling. Secondly the guy who built these back in

So, episode 5 eh? No highway today, everyone must go My Way to thecheckpoint in Winnemucca which is easy, the 80 all the way. Obviously thegetting lost record is held by Team Chevy; it takes them all of 30 secondsto f**k up getting out of Reno.Asking for directions...againBecause there are fewer teams now, strategy is essential - it will beinteresting to see who sticks blindly to relationships.

The Noble we were driving is officially dead, thanks to David. So we’re stuck in an RV for hours of painful conversation with the other executives from the show, stuffing our faces with beef jerky and nachos. The Honda boys, Dirty Rice and Paris, have a huge hometown advantage in the first leg from Vallejo to Alameda and come in first. Everyone else gets confused driving through downtown San

This week’s winner is the Ferrari 250 GTO project car. The original GTOs are tremendous Grand Tourers and the spirit of grand touring is what Bullrun is all about. This project is a great homage to the GTO. Authentic models of this car (39 made I think) we're trading at $2 million bucks back in the 80s and these days you're looking at $15 million dollars to have one of these in your stable. This

Another great variety of cars to pick from this week and some tough choices!I've had to remind myself this isn't about the best car restoration project in my selections as it's easy to be overawed by the success of these car projects. It's about which car is a Bullrun car and Bullrun is an attitude to automotive lifestyle. With this in mind we've picked the Saleen Mustang.It’s a great American

After the Nissan gets booted David and I drive off to find the only strip club in a 60-mile radius. We park the $100,000 Noble M12 outside with twenty Harleys. It sticks out like a hooker in a convent. Although this may be a bad decision I need a beer so badly I just don’t care.  We walk in and all the biker dudes turn to check us out. Obviously we’re a couple of Eurof**ks in a place where we

The elimination of the Scion girls was a shock and everybody is paranoid about who's going to be next. The filming in Idaho really took a toll because of the freezing conditions ­ so even though it's not exactly warm in Seattle, it's a welcome relief. We have a day off from shooting so David and I decide to hit the town. As usual, I'm leading the charge and it gets ugly. It's Sunday night but

It's pretty well known that we Europeans aren’t natural fans of American Muscle but that's changing rapidly due to cars like this Camaro. A lot of work and thought has gone into this project and I love the paddle shift transmission. But what really makes this car smell and feel like Bullrun is the overall balance. The car is just a great marriage of new and old and it looks amazing. I'd be happy

Four years of planning for Bullrun and we end up in Whitefish, Montana, population 5,032?! Why not someplace decent and warm like Miami or Mexico… All I know about Montana is that it has the highest per capita population of crystal meth addicts in the U.S. I once saw this guy on Cops outrun the police for miles in Montana. When they finally dragged him from his car he was naked expect for his
