Post VIDEO: Several cars impounded, Gumballers arrested for speeding at 170 mph

YouTube - Monster Energy at the Gumball Rally - Day 3

Autoblog
We definitely saw this coming. We've been receiving some unconfirmed reports that several of the participants on this year's Gumball 3000 rally had their cars impounded, and the video after the jump is the first visual evidence we've seen. Apparently several of the Gumballers were driving well in excess of the posted speed limit, as high as 170 mph, resulting in three impounded cars, including a Bugatti Veyron, and the drivers going to jail. Watch the Video to hear the MonsterArmy team talk (NSFW) about the impounded cars and to see footage of the Bugatti Veyron getting loaded up onto the flatbed.

I've read that it was 1 Veyron and 2 Carrera GTs. Unconfirmed source though

Edit: ^^ It wasn't that Veyron, it was another one.

Figured this would happen sooner or later. Still sucks either way though.

If it wasn't the black and gold Veyron that was impounded, it was the one that Vivid Racing had in their shop a few weeks back. Really beautiful car...
