Gumball Rally

jozi

Yes its on at the moment (prob over now thou) and i havent seen a post about it here yet so lets start it with this one.

Came accross a few other forums with pics and a vid or 2 over the weekend.
Some impressive cars at it and lots of very common ones attending the rally, Bently continental (i think), porche 911's and ferrari 360's come to mind (Common in the rally i mean).

I'll dig up some pics/vids/forum links when i get home this evening.

Anyone else anything.....

Some pictures from a place called Taormina here

And here's a tip for anyone that uses firefox to view dexes like this:

1. Create a new bookmark by right clicking on your bookmarks toolbar and then clicking on "New Bookmark..."

2. Call the new bookmark: linked images

3. Put in the location field:

javascript: (function(){function I(u){var t=u.split('.'),e=t[t.length-1].toLowerCase();return {gif:1,jpg:1,jpeg:1,png:1,mng:1}[e]}function hE(s){return s.replace(/&/g,'&').replace(/>/g,'>').replace(/</g,'<').replace(/%22/g,'"');}var q,h,i,z=open().document;z.write('<p>Images linked to by '+hE(location.href)+':</p><hr>');for(i=0;q=document.links;++i){h=q.href;if(h&&I(h))z.write('<p>'+q.innerHTML+' ('+hE(h)+')<br><img src=%22'+hE(h)+'%22>');}z.close();})()

4. Hit ok

5. Go to a dex (i.e. the one linked from the original post)

6. Click on your linked images bookmark

I like the idea of the Gumball, but the people that take part in them are just complete and utter knobends. The Cannonballers had more class than them for gawd's sake!

It'd be a laugh if you had the time and enough money to buy yourself out of whatever trouble you got into. Nice and rare Lambo 4x4...

One day id love to do the gumball There were tickets on ebay this year and i was tempted, if only there had been more time to think bout it you never know :eek:

Which cannonball is the good one, cannonball 8000 or cannonball europe? From the europe dvd they all look like chavs to me ....

I have a Co Pilot sat nav kit and Co Pilot were kind enough to send me details on live tracking of all cars in the gumball run for the duration of the race. Way cool :-)
