EDIT: sorry, didnt know there was a limit.

thanks for the pictures, i love them

WHY OH WHY? 20 different awesome cars,s screwed by the same lame-ass decals?

And why, if you owned and enzo, would you take it on an illegal high-speed race across america?

when i saw the picture of the lancia stratos i could have sworn it was only made as a concept. i just looked at the pics again...
the windows are blacked out and the blinkers are fake. i guess it was just there for publicity.

[QUOTE=johnnyperl]europe and africa(last year at least)...

This year it went from London to Monaco :cool:

[QUOTE=jorismo]This year it went from London to Monaco :cool:[/QUOTE]
...taking the senic route through Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Croatia and Italy.

daryl hannah and tarantino are doing a cool thing by promoting Bio-Diesel but they should have chosen a different car! because no matter what its powered by, the RR still weights 5400lbs. they should have used a jag.

does anybody know if Button is in the rally or is he just there for the start?

Uh, not quite!
click the second linked picture in my first post.

its a conversion of the 575, not a factory model, designed to mimic the Prodrive 550. it is not made by prodrive though.

PS, the guy picture is the "leader" of the GB, johnny's team mate.

[QUOTE=johnnyperl]its a conversion of the 575, not a factory model, designed to mimic the Prodrive 550. it is not made by prodrive though.[/QUOTE]

Its a 550 LM, based on a 550, made by ES Motorsports in association with the team that actually ran the Prodrive cars - Care Racing.

There are only 50 of them to be built.

i like what they've done to the black SLR :cool:

any video links? or has the gumball just started?

OMG a CLK DTM AMG!!!

A Lola T70?? Crazy fool That car is not meant to be there...

Farboud! Whoa.

Haha you mad ed :D

i was talking about elvis and the GTO ;)

obviously ;)


:D

Go On Lad :D

ha while were here, jim do you know if any of those autograss lads use 6r4 engines ? :D

Niiiiiice pictures. So cool. So nice. So sweet.

The only one who couldn't laugh with all this, was the Belgian Police. They set up special controls and manged to take in 18 driver licenses and also wrote a big number of speeding tickets...

the WELSH! police do that for the wrc drivers :mad:

Some stupid idiot, British, decided to do 141mph down the M20 to Dover.

He now has no license, and a hefty fine.

If he'd waited untill he was on the continent: 750 Euro fine.

More proof, though it isn't needed, that money doesn't buy you brains.
[size=1]Unless you've got some sort of dodgy deal with a local morgue, but that isn't the type of brains I am talking about.[/size]

[QUOTE=r1ckst4]any video links? or has the gumball just started?[/QUOTE]
click SOURCE on the first post, there are several links for movies hosted on rapidshare, i havent seen them so i dont know if theyre any good.
i watched one 45 minute video of all the cars coming around a corner but i already forgot where it is. it wasnt that great anyway.
