Jesus, what a steaming pile of horsecrap! Did you look at the site? Lousy photoshops of him into stock photos!! Even better - 9 MONTHS later you get a DVD? Rich people with supercars - get $3k discount? Airfare, transport, insurance, rental fees...for $12.5k? My ass.

This guy is running a confidence game for sure. :rolling:

I've seen footage of the last Gumball. They're all shitty drivers with no skills and too much money. All they do is trying to blow the engine on that trip with being as slow as possible. Jackass participated as well, so go figure :bird:

Real men do the Iron Butt Rally.

:bow:

 

[evander]

There was a guy in the last Gumball 3000 to run it on a BMW GS. I can't remember if he finished or not.


BTW all though the Gumball the people keep saying it's a "RALLY" not a race. I think Kim got sick of nobody really wanting to race and started his own.

If I had sick amounts of money I'd do it in a heart beat. I don't care what you think about their driving skills that many rich people in hot cars are bound to attract the hotties and think of the parties.

There was a couple of Ducks in it too a while ago . I remember a scene on the vid where they just split when the cops thru the lights on

I don't know what my cousin did, but he did a cross country rally like that, with his friend in his friends ferrari, I was watching a dvd they had of the trip, heres my cousin, on the side of the road in the desert with duct tape putting the fender of a supercar back together. another great point was when they were doign like 130 cresting a hill and the radar detector goes off, the camara pans to my cousin and hes like "fvck, im going to jail"

i think something like half the field was arrested.


and really the best part, was they were behind a new lamborghini countachi(sp...whatever the new one is) and passed him on the outside doing something like 160, and the guy behind the camera is laughing his ass of "dude, hes gotta hate that"


i wish i had money /wwwthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

OK I'd like to know how the hell he's planning on getting local towns and municipalities to ALLOW this through their roads?


BTW I think I might be able to get a 03 Bennoton F1 car if anyone would wannt try? :grin:

But I do have a bud that has this though...

I'm sure that would qualify as a supercar. :grin:

 

[YZFRob]

BTW has anyone looked at the routes?

Lets just say a few of them are NO FREAKING WAY anyone in their right mind would think of trying.

1. Spain - Morroco - Algeria - Tunisia - Libya - Egypt - Jordan - Syria - Beirut Lebanon

2. Czech Republic-Slovakia-Ukraine-Romania-Hungary-Croatia-Yugoslavia-Albania-Greece-Turkey

3. Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand-Laos-Vietnam-China-Hong Kong

5. Moscow Russia to Beijing China

6. Rid de Janerio-Uruguay-Buenos Aires-Santiago Chile-Cape Horn Chile

7. Halifax Nova Scotia-Montreal-Toronto-Winnipeg-Edmonton-Calgary-Vancouver

1-3 you better be armed heavily.

i´d extend that to at least 1-6, seriously...
i mean once gumball went to lithuania (sp?) and belarus and they had problems with people trying to stop their cars - they weren´t policeofficers - go figure...

 

[Kricket]

Man, I was just going to post about this too. I was reading the site and thinking, damn, it's like a beacon for spoiled rich kids.

Evander, I think you can go to the party even if you're not in the race...Bring some spare shovels and you can make friends with all the gold diggers...
