Calm Chris Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Loading up the camera batteries as we speak. Anyone else plan to pop down and have a look at some very special metal? The lime fezza and the purple lambo, not my taste but worthy of a few pictures Gumball site Sunday 30th April: This is the start day! Cars will park on “display” in Gumballs own “pit-lane” on Pall Mall (London W1, between Trafalgar Square and St. James Palace) between 1-4 PM, and the flag will drop between 4-6 PM, sending drivers en route to a Midnight checkpoint in Belgium via the Eurotunnel. Mini meet anyone? Sports cafe mid afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollox Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Having seen the poor chap in Le Mans taking about 20 mins to load our Skyline onto a flatbed, with about 50 of us crowded round and filming for evidence, I wouldn't want to be the poor sod that has to unload that lot!

[/ QUOTE ] This year, the Gumball is doing a couple of days in Europe, a couple of days in east Asia and a couple of days in the US. For those people planning on doing the whole thing, the cars have to be loaded onto a plane and flown to the next destination each time. Apparently, the logistics have already caused a few headaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Sounds great, I'd love to see it, but can't get down today ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Strange Chri5, for there isn't a Koenigsegg in the line up this year, nor a Zonda - let alone two! Would be able to understand a last minute change of car (Alex Roy style) but me thinks that pic is an old one..... 2006 Participants Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 It's a millionaire only event, at £40k newbie entry price. Cheaper if you've done it before, it's only £30k Funny thing is there's a team entry in a VW camper The entry must be 3 or 4 times the campers value- knowt as odd as some folk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Quote "First ticket of the rally! The car Maximillion is driving during the 2006 Gumball got a parking ticket while parked in front of the Trafalgar Hilton during the launch party last night. The car belongs to Nods (Driving the FLA5H Lamborghini) so he will get the ticket send to his place. They also tried to give Team Polizei a ticket but they took the license plates of the car earlier". That cheered me up a bit Here's their car (with number plate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm Chris Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I'm off down towards Pall Mall via tube journey. Orange polo top, chino's, light coloured jacket, scruffy hair hair, brown Rockport boots, an umbrella and accompanied by a short round Indian guy. If anyone is going, I'll try to pop in the Sportsbar on Haymarket about 14:30 and shout TSN a few times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
