From Jon's site:

It's not over yet
nice pics oneandonly
What a day!
I think today was the most eventful day of the rally so far for us!
It all started with a sweet boat ride in Venice, then we jumped in the cars and started crushing it towards Belgrade. After a few hours we hit stretch of great roads and speeds where maybe a little over the limits…
Just as we where loving it these two race bikes pulled up and started driving circles around us, as a sports car owner we had gas back a little so after a while when they came up next to us and indicated that they wanted an acceleration test we gladly excepted! We ended up being pretty equal and smiles where all the way to our ears! That changed in 2 sec when the two bikes hit their blue lights just as we all passed 230! They where cops fooling us into their trap!
Luckily they loved Gumball so after 4 h at the police station we could leave, but only if we promised to red line the cars out of the there…
What was even better was that they ended up giving us a escort in free speed for 20 min…
Only at Gumball!
Time to party in Belgrade!
A demain!

I was dead asleep yesterday and so happy about it when team TNT+ Bode storms in and decides that I am not allowed to die just yet, so after an anbelivible 30 min Bode Miller "pep talk" I was back on track again! I have to say that before Gumball I was a big Bode fan, but he is now officially my new life hero, that man is undescribibly amazing!
Right now we are packing up the cars to get them out of here, we decided that the 7200km we had since last Monday was not enough, so we are driving back to Greece to catch a ferry to Italy to then drive to either Monaco, Innsbruck or Stockholm. Have yet to figure that one out but I do know that I hate shipping cars so I think it is going to be a bit of a long trip back…
Time for one last kebab and then we are off to Team TNTs mini Gumball north with the Norwegian glaciers being the final destination!
Gumball 2011 was amazing but as usual its hard to describe what makes is so special! I think the people we meet and the extremely high level of no worries kind of living is the one thing that makes me love it the most!
More updates along the way back! Lets hope we can avoid police bikes tricking us into their traps!
