Kr0n SG Hey guys this year's Gumball 3000 has just started. For those who don't know, the Gumball is basically a get-together of fun-loving car fanatics who take their lovely 4-wheelers across several countries, driving them hard and partying the nights away. Inspired by the film, "Cannonball Run", it was first organized in 1999 Britain by a certain gentleman called Maximillion Cooper. It's become quite a huge success, and has seen a significant number of attempts by others to copycat it. Check out their websites: http://www.gumball3000.com/grid.pdf -- For info on participants as well as their vehicles. (I pray to all the Gods to keep the 550LMs safe ) http://gumballblog.blogspot.com/ -- They've also got a blog http://www.gumball3000.com -- Their main URL Heng: I sure hope that you were at their opening ceremony...and with lots of pics to share with us too! Cheers!

the Bear SG one of the years, the morons from Jackass joined it.. it was funny but Steve-O slept through most of it..
Kr0n SG Steve-o can sleep through anything man haha.. But they did it in an old ass Jaguar. Last year, some dude did it in a Citroen 2CV!
Kr0n SG Yep! 2CV took part last year as well! Anyway, this year they've got quite a number of interesting cars as well. Like the Lambo LM002, MB CLK DTM, Buick Riviera GS, and even a project car by Audi which I don't even know the name of! Well, here are some pics for you guys, enjoy! Cheers!

[email protected] SG oh sweet satan! those cars are Fucking awesome! Man that SLR and the CLK DTM are giving me a heart attack.
Kr0n SG Haha what an expression! Damn what a waste, if not you’d probably have gotten a heart attack just hearing those beasts lol. Anyway, surf around their blogs, there’re a hell lot more pics around
Kr0n SG Here are some more pics of the cars from Gumball. Enjoy! this one's pretty rare I think Cheers!
[email protected] SG this one looks damn nice. but i dunno wot car it is. i think a zonda's on it's left tho. the car on its right's likely to be a lambo. possibly the gallardo in italian polizei colours
[email protected] SG this one is ugly tho. im guessing the yellow car on its left is the new stratos prototype concept.
[email protected] SG u can see here these few cars were parked next to the red MB Roadcars EOS and the Yellow New Stratos Concept. I have a pic which was taken b4 the decals were applied onto the red MB Roadcars EOS. Note also the yellow new Stratos concept in the pic. it was still covered by a car cover in the pic.
Kr0n SG Yes I think you're right. I read somewhere that that lime green car was based on the Stratos. This one should be the new prototype. I forgot what that red car is though. MB Roadster EOS you said? And that good looking blue one is the project car by Audi. The name was like G-something lol.
