| Retr-hoe Reviewer  |  My Gumball 3000 Car Rally Pics - ! 56k Warning ! Me and my housemates traveled down to London this weekend to see the start of this years Gumball 3000 rally. Hosted by million Maximillion Cooper, over 100 cars set off from Pall Mall for a 7 day rally across Europe. So many nice cars, so many engines being gunned, it was superb, hope you enjoy my pics                                                      | |

| Retr-hoe Reviewer | Re: My Gumball 3000 Car Rally Pics - ! 56k Warning ! A mate and I are possibly doing it in 2 years time, his father has an Ultima GTR I don't think its an F1 car, that would take far too much effort and support to get across Europe, its an F3 car I think. I have about 40 mins of video footage from the event too, including when all the cars left at around 4pm. The noise from that F3 car was insane... I think it raped the microphone on the camera so you wont hear it in its full ground shattering glory but its still impressive. Oh, and yes that is me standing next to a Bugatti Veyron.

| P'Hoe'toshop Fanatic  | Re: My Gumball 3000 Car Rally Pics - ! 56k Warning ! When I looked through your pictures, I was reminded of an episode of Jackass when Johnny Knoxsville and a couple of the other guys did the Gumball rally. Seems like that would be a lot of fun... and certainly lots of very nice cars to boot! | |

How bout we all pitch in with our cars and we do a "Bull Run" type of thing ... we can call it "Donkey Run" no car under 100k miles can enter ....  my 95 altima has merely 150k+ and still going strong  (except for the radiator leak, 2 nails in the front tire, broken visor, missing stereo..... well, you get the idea) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Apex Techie Lite  | Re: My Gumball 3000 Car Rally Pics - ! 56k Warning ! My '87 Volvo 240 would be the King of the Donkeys. It's high performance rust-tuned chassis, and professionally un-balanced tires, combined with the fact the it's literally breaking in half at the middle keep it at the front of the pack. | |

| Retr-hoe Reviewer | Re: My Gumball 3000 Car Rally Pics - ! 56k Warning ! Yup, apparently nearly 50 of the cars have been pulled over already in Holland and were being escorted in small groups to the airport. Oh and if anyone wants high res copies of any of the photos just ask. | |

| Apex Tech Maniac  | Re: My Gumball 3000 Car Rally Pics - ! 56k Warning ! its something like £10k entry fee isnt it? Its such a shame to see all those stunning cars covered in garish, horrible logos and crazy nast paint jobs. You reckon they are painted on or trasfers? Mind you.. i suppose when you can afford those kind of cars, what 5-10k on a paint job? lol Mark EDIT: Are all the cars sponsored by Adidas or something?  | |

| Proud New Daddy  | Re: My Gumball 3000 Car Rally Pics - ! 56k Warning ! Mark, first timers have to pay a little over $50k and those are transfers. When you pay your fee you are also accepting an aggreement of having ads on your car along with a gumball logo. Max is probably making a killing off of this. | |
