The Scumrun is an annual charitable event in the form of a road rally from the United Kingdom to mystery destinations around Europe. It has been running since 2006, originally as the Scumball 3000. ==Format of the event== Vehicles with a maximum purchase price of £500 – but often significantly upgraded by the teams of one or more drivers and passengers – are taken to a launch party in the UK before being taken by ferry to mainland Europe. On each day a destination (plus, usually, intermediate checkpoints) is announced, but only to drivers who pass a breathalyser test to ensure their blood alcohol level is below the legal maximum to drive. At the end of each day those not driving in the morning participate in celebrations. Much of the driving and celebrating is recorded for the purposes of producing a DVD which is used to encourage further teams to participate in future years. Media coverage is found in publications such as Fast Car and Men and Motors, highlighting the antics and monies raised for much needed charities. Communications are maintained between many of the cars using CB radios. Typical vehicles include older BMW 5- and 7-series, Mercedes-Benz W123 and W124 E-class and W126 S-class, Jaguar XJ models, and a rag-tag assortment of Japanese sports cars. There have also been oddities such as black cab taxis and fire engines. No other road event raises as much sponsorship via the combined efforts of its participants. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scumrun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
