Paris Hilton will be driving this Spyker C8 Spyder in the Bullrun Montreal-to-Key-West party/road rally/reality TV show. No word on who will co-drive. Probably not Nicole Richie.

MONTREAL, Quebec — The Real Bullrun USA 2007, part road rally and part international reality-TV show, has a new contestant: Paris Hilton. The darling of blogs and entertainment pages worldwide, Hilton has been issued a Spyker C8 Spyder in which she will participate in the Montreal-to-Key-West weeklong event.
The participants in the Real Bullrun USA event will leave the Montreal Ritz-Carlton on the morning of May 12 and will not learn the subsequent driving itinerary until the morning of each day's driving. The event concludes on May 18. Entrance fee is $17,500 unless, like Paris Hilton, you are an invited participant or are selected by the TV producers to be in the cast of the reality series.
Bullrun will be broadcast in 52 countries, including on Spike TV in the United States. The organizers say it will involve "100 cars, celebrities and a party in every city every night."
Proving it is also a competition of sorts, there will be $200,000 given away as a prize. To find out more, visit the Bullrun Web site.
What this means to you: Apparently Paris Hilton gets 8,640 more minutes of fame with her participation in the Bullrun.

Whenever I hear the name Paris Hilton, I feel like painting a room, and then sitting down with a loaf of dry french bread and a glass of water to watch it dry. She's probably the least interesting person I've ever heard of.
That makes one less Spyker out there.
She is guaranteed to wrap that car around something!

That's exactly what I was thinking! I hope the advertising they get with this little stunt pays more than the cost of the car she's gonna wreck.
Emerald 05-02-07, 09:07 AM I MAY be driving in BullRun. I will find out in a couple days....
bruce van 05-02-07, 10:29 AM I'm also placing bets that she won't be finishing the race either. Isn't her license suspended or something since she's been pulled over a few times?
I MAY be driving in BullRun. I will find out in a couple days....
Which car are you driving Em?

Awesome, let us know:thumbup:
I agree with ff_
And if you see Paris, can you :slap: this for us?:D
She couldn't handle the motorcycle at one of the red carpet event(?) but the bullrun???
I normally don't "hate" anyone, but she is an exception:D
Jewcano 05-02-07, 10:44 AM This might come off a little mean, but i hope after this race "she will never be behind the wheel of any car again".......I'll leave that to interpretation.
UberNoob 05-02-07, 11:04 AM she doesnt even know how to put gas in her car....
is she going to hire like 3 chase cars to give her the luxury she needs?
anyways, spyker is a perfect accessory for her, except for the manual transmission
Some pics of her in the Spyker

Faymester 05-02-07, 12:01 PM i'm going to be a contrarian here and say that while the cameras are NOT on her ... she'll be fine. i don't think shes going to crash, and i think she actually does know how to put gas in her car (if not, i'm sure shes hired people to go along w. her and do that sort of thing). however, for publicity and to re-affirm the image shes built for herself, she will do dumb things when the cameras ARE on.
DASHOCKER 05-02-07, 12:02 PM Paris will be in handcuffs.
After viewing Seize's pictures I think we see the answer.
My money is on her not actually driving and just being a passenger as a "gimmick"
DASHOCKER 05-02-07, 12:06 PM After viewing Seize's pictures I think we see the answer.
My money is on her not actually driving and just being a passenger as a "gimmick"That makes sense.. A blabbing blonde crash test dummy.. Perfect part for Paris:D
SoCalSC4 05-02-07, 01:00 PM I sincerely hope she doesn't kill anybody.
pretty sure she can handle that car, since she knows how to drive stick and also owns some very fast cars like the slr, i think it was jessica simpson that can't fill up gas not paris

I'm sure she can handle a stick..................just not one attached to an automobile! :D
**** Cheney owns a hunting rifle, we know that doesn't mean he knows how to use it!
JessePS 05-02-07, 01:40 PM Thats on my calendar booyah.

92 SC400 05-03-07, 01:50 PM Does she even still have a driver's license?
I just hope this car does not end up like Eddie Griffin and that Enzo... :p
JessePS 05-03-07, 01:58 PM Does she even still have a driver's license?
I just hope this car does not end up like Eddie Griffin and that Enzo... :p
I hope for her sake she does have it, because she'd probably get arrested on the spot for driving without a valid license lol
Milla... 05-04-07, 08:56 AM I'm still trying to figure out why the media loves this girl, what makes her a celeb, who is she besides a loose rich chic. The media would have you think that Paris and Nicole are the only children in the world who swim in daddy's millions.

Got it...
JessePS 05-05-07, 08:08 PM she wont be racing next weekend she'll be in prison for 45 days
Gojirra99 05-05-07, 08:31 PM she wont be racing next weekend she'll be in prison for 45 days
According to the thread in Clubhouse, she doesn't need to go to jail until June ? . . .
bitkahuna 05-05-07, 09:38 PM According to the thread in Clubhouse, she doesn't need to go to jail until June ? . . .
Yes, June 5th or 6th I believe.
mmarshall 05-06-07, 03:09 PM Well, her license has been suspensed. That, of course, is one of the reasons she is off to prison next month.....driving with a suspended license (and, of course, alcohol). That will preclude her from driving ANY vehicle on a public road requiring a license. If she gets busted AGAIN before June, she'll probably be off to prison immediately.....and for a lot more than 45 days. The judge on this case obvi0usly doesn't play games.

i hope she gets arrested here in Montreal lol
bizzy928 05-06-07, 07:46 PM I doubt shes going to see a day in prison.
JessePS 05-06-07, 09:03 PM I doubt shes going to see a day in prison.
Hopefully the heads up that I am giving the SQ and Montreal Police will do something, because they will get an earful from the media if they let her drive on a road here in Quebec. I just want her to stay in a prison cell for 24 hours and have the Spyker impounded for a month. I hate hollywood. As much as I like wealthy people, I just hate them in the news.
She's not very bright huh?

Paris to Still Run with the Bulls ?
Posted May 12th 2007 3:02AM by TMZ Staff
Paris Hilton was supposed to kickoff a cross-country road race today, but sources tell TMZ she'll likely be a no-show.
Ms. Hilton is scheduled to participate in BullRun 2007, a race from Montreal to Key West, but a rep for the race now confirms to TMZ that jail-bound blonde will be chauffeured to and from destinations on the route, with the convicted socialite hosting a party at the Versace mansion in Miami.
Elliot Mintz cryptically tells TMZ that Paris "will be in L.A. this weekend," not Canada, so unless Hilton possesses the powers of Hiro Nakamura, it's safe to say the heiress won't be at the starting line.source : TMZ
mmarshall 05-13-07, 03:03 PM I doubt shes going to see a day in prison.
True, she has a rich family and powerful lawyers, but if she loses the appeal, she is GOING to prison, even if only for a few weeks. You can bank on that one....this judge means buisness. She may be 40 years old when her appeals finally run out, but when they DO, it's off to making license plates.
Money or not, you can only fight a conviction so much. Even Martha Stewart's billions didn't keep her out of a Federal penitentiary....she served 5 months.
JessePS 05-13-07, 09:28 PM Oh yah, she did not leave from Montreal. One of the runners was like more than likely Canada would not let her in. He was like she might start doing the race in 1-2 stops. First stop was New York if I remember correctly.
bitkahuna 05-13-07, 10:40 PM Given her legal troubles, I'm sure she can't leave the country.
