From Italy, cool

but what is wrong with this bitch?!?!? To sit on an Enzo?

davide · 05-19-2005, 02:52 PM

Is she really sitting on it? Or is she just squatting? I hope she's squatting... bitch.

adamwich · 05-19-2005, 03:42 PM

It is difficult to see if she is actually sitting on the car - but if she is sitting on it, she has got some very short legs!

davide · 05-19-2005, 03:44 PM

Yeah... short legs. She's squatting, definately.

I've just fallen in love in the Carrera GT, first I like alot, very nice car but now... I'm just in love. That V10 have to be the most brutal sound ever! Damn... gimme more gumball 2005 videos!

I have just been reading a few pages of messages and have read really cool stories. And of course, I'm a sucka when it comes to photographs. As far as I'm concerned this is my favourite one http://www.pixpond.com/may/gumballdubrovnikmodena2.jpg

Eventually, I found a picture of a porsche with the text " catch me if you can" written on it. Now, if these are Germans .... I have photographed them during my first visit at the Nurburgring this year. The picture turned out to be unsharp unfortunately but by this one, I will post it on my webserver anyway. I going to post the link afterwards.

Cheers

GT_Burnout1.wmv - gorgeous sound from the CGT. I was just down the road from that, sadly just out of view, but still got all the sound - stunning!

davide · 05-19-2005, 05:36 PM

Yeah, got 3 vids when the GT does those burnouts. Gives me the goosebumps...

I've got 487mb of footage of this years Gumball, only saving the longer videos and the good ones. I'm craving for more though!

And the 2004 Gumball DVD should arrive in my letterbox on tomorrow or on monday... we'll see! Just saw that it was in "the vault" but i'm not regretting my buy! (since i'm not "special" user...

)

"Quoted from the Extreme web site:

Sicily to Rome; Supercars tested to destruction

Yesterday's drive from Sicily to Rome was absolute chaos, and like day five of last year's rally (Morocco) there were crashes right, left and centre. The Buick is completely out of the rally, the driver said he was going fairly slowly when it span out and for his insurance's sake we'll run with that.

A Ferrari 355 was also written off between Naples and Rome, and the silver Porsche GT drifted 300 metres down the Autostrada bouncing both nose and tail off the barriers. That's been gaffer taped up and is still on the rally, but the Lamborghini Murcielago isn't so lucky...

The Lambo got impounded in Belgium within hours of being on the rally, so it's driver called up for his Maclaren F1 to be delivered to him immediately. His F1 was taken out of the rally between Budapest and Dubrovnik (not sure whether it was impounded or crashed) so the relentless Gumballer paid £6000 to have his Lamborghini released, and another £6000 to have it driven to Bari (how many of you would have done that for free?!).

Then disaster struck a final blow when his freshly delivered Lamborghini was written off between Sicily and Naples. He only bought it on the Thursday before the rally, so drove it for a total of 8 hours before it was destroyed!

In other Lamborghini news, Jodie Kidd rinsed the clutch on her's, so her and fiancee Ben are having to take it easy for the rest of the rally.

Alex Roy proved his legendary status once again yesterday by getting to the Sicilian ferry port by 8:25am and cordoning it off with police tape. He then sailed alone on a ferry to mainland Italy and "cruised at 8/10ths" (140mph in torrential rain) towards Rome, sirens and lights on continuously.

The M5 cop car is permanently online and get updates on the positions of other Gumballers, so it didn't come as a suprise when it's lead was threatened by a blue Porsche Turbo being driven brilliantly by Spencer Bourne.

A 90 minute battle ensued taking the cars all the way into Rome, with the Porsche overtaking on clear roads and Alex using his sirens to take the lead when traffic built up. Eventually the Porsche slipped back due to Spencer's "poor toll booth strategy" and "poor GPS strategy" (wrong turn) leaving the delighted cops claiming another victory.

This morning I went on the hunt for gadgets and will type it up right now, so find out which car has a cloaking device in a few hours! "
