Default Have a look at this ultimate car rally, the Gumball 3000

http://www.gumball3000.com


Everyones stupidly rich, having Enzos, Lambos, McLaren SLR's etc!!!

The guy running the show is called "Maximillion" and has a Ferrari 550 painted to look like the General Lee!

People could track the cars as they roar across Europe, having to get to the next checkpoint. The McLaren was clocked at 225Mph in Croatia at one stage!!

They all flew(drove) through Germany too, Id fly(in a plane from Oz to there) there just to watch em go past the autobahns!

Heheh I have the Gumball 3000 (USA) movie/compilation on my PC. It's like my ultimate dream!!

My oldest brother was in Monaco (if I remember correctly :P) to see one of the stopping points, and said most of the guys/girls were like 21-35 :O Insane.

Seen a version of that the other night, the one with the yellow M3 turbo cutting sick outfront of a New York night club. Then the coppers arrest him.
