    you have to pay to be in the gumball - I though it was invitation only, seems a bit duuurrrty now. Still, I dont know if its the effect of watching smoky and the bandit when I was young but, I'd love to be part of the gumball

    That red Ferrari F430 is beautiful though...hmmmmmm. Btw since when has a Range Rovers been a super car?

    Me and a few mates were thinking about doing this a few years ago. Then we found out the prices, and realised we would each need to sell a kindey and pimp our mothers out for it.

    Still there is one going ahead organised by one of my best mates. Its going from waterford - nurburgring and back again.

    Here are the infos:

    You dont need a fast car, Its all for the irish cancer society. So any car is welcome.

    If anyone else has a manic-motorz account they can put it up, as i cant access it from work.
