Gumball 3000

[Uzami]

So, Gumball 3k will be going throught much of europe this year, Gumball is a tour with different exotic cars. The official tour route is, "The tour will begin in London on the 1st May, before taking in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Quebec City and Toronto before finally rounding off in New York". I'm quite exited as I live 45 min from Stockholm and will defenatly atending.
The tour starts 1st may and in every city there will be a big party, with monster as a sponsor, everyone could expect loads of free monster, and ofc loads of cool sports-cars

who else than me will be attending in your city? (I know that there are loads of brits on the forums)

EDIT: add website http://www.gumball3000.com/

i went to one of the stops back in 2008 in LA, got a picture with bam margera, i think in 2005 they did one from NY to LA and 3 motorcycles participated. i was a huge fan of this but its not what it used to be, i liked that jackass special because it was like a real automotive endurance event, but slowly they reduced the miles and increased the stops so it just turned into a mobile car show, at least thats how i look at it now

If you pony up the cash, you can ride/drive whatever you want to.  One year there was something like 4 Ducatis that rode from NYC to LA.

Yep.  It changes every year, but it's usually something in excess of $100,000.

im a fan of the gumball 3000 too, especially the jack ass episode. but wouldnt it be way cheaper to do it on our own? i know they probably take em to expensive hotels and clubs.  how much do u think it would cost for us to do it on our own with a group of ppl.  cars and or bikes

[misteroldschool]

there are other rally's just like the gumball for us regular folks, don't know what the prices are like but i would imagine no more that a thousand or 2, i think one of them is called the cannon ball run or something along those lines

Didn't really like Gumball, before I saw this. They just simply made tons of mods to this M5, including strobe lights,
sirens, graphics, etc. making it looks like a real police car. As you can see: the cars pull over and give space, making
it easy to get through traffic jams and to ride fast.
