Re: Gumball 3000...

..take that as no-one! well, heres a taster of whats there. so far the german police have impounded every car at the border and after finally letting them to the airport for their flight to istanbul (after a 420 euro each fine of course), now wont let the plane off the ground delaying them severely! few licences and many lines of rubber have been laid from what i hear!

Re: Gumball 3000...

Serious money there from what I can see...

I attended a much modest event, but very nice cars nonetheless:

The Popular Classics meeting at Hontanares, Segovia.

Loads of ols Seats there...

I attended with my 1987 Seat Marbella L, my wife and my trainee dog for the blind (see 4th and 1st picture respectively).

For € 3 per person you got the participant's numberplate, a can of Coca-Cola Light Lemon flavour (honestly), a pin with the town's badge and a sticker to encourage people not to use the toilet to throw rubbish so that the river flows clean (honestly again). Plus a wonderful Paella meal where you could eat as much as you wanted and drink as much rioja wine and Mahou beer as you could put up with (only in Spain).

(Sorry for kidnapping the thread)

Cheers
























Enjoy!

hijacker! haha, i dont think any of those may have been impounded yet though, and theyve probably still got their licences!

crazy money but i so have to do it one day lets see, 28k to enter + 12k for a passenger + car + 4 k for fuel + 4k for drinking in a 5 star hotel everynight + god knows how much for bribing police + 5k for radar jamming and speed trap equipment. just not enough kidneys in my body to pay for that sadly!
