Wow, it took awhile to download on DSL. I only watched the first one so far, but it was great.

I watched the first one which was great but almost fell asleep while the second one was downloading, even with DSL. Maybe tomorrow.

Not all of these guys got their money or cars through inheritance. How about the guys in the Deux Chevaux or the German guy who spent six months in prison and then started a security company?

Let's face it. If we had the money and the time we'd be there too.

Watch the videos with teh yellow M3 as the camera car.

There are 20 year old guys driving brand new Challange Stradales with magled front bumpers and grilles with massive chunks torn out bragging about how the car is only a few days old.

If you want to explain to me how a 20 year old has the clout to throw around a stradale like that and not give it a second glance, please tell me.

Yes, I know. Spoiled rich kids and I understand your point and I agree with it. Did you get mine?

Citroen 2CV and Winnebagos are not expensive and you just need the time to do this.

But the truth is that John Q Citizen ain't gonna be there, and that includes me.

I understand your point, the first time I read it and replie I read it as none of these guys are rich through inheritance, my mistake.

If I were as wealthy as them, I'd just have a Lingenfelter Z06 shipped over and smoke 'em all.

I watched a program last night on the 2002 Gumball. I was amazed at the amount of UK registered cars. After seeing the footage (I am on a 56k connection, it'd take a year to download) were there as many UK registered cars this time??

I just read on CNN's website about the Spanish police arresting a number of Gumball drivers and confiscating their cars. Maybe it's a good thing we're posting here and not driving there!

NA, I would risk getting pulled over and arrested for the chance to drive a Ferrari or Porsche flat out on public roads like them! heck the Prince of Monacco welcomed them and gave them the run of the country!
