Thanks for the pics! It seems there were a few non-participants running in the parade like the MC12 adn CGT

DeanGTI · 05-01-2006, 12:48 PM

the CGT sounded absolutely brilliant, althougt the lambo Jon mentioned took the noise award. sounded like it had a bit of metal pipe for an exhaust and not much else.

I'll be there next time the gumball comes to the uk.

Only downer for me was the police on the A20 on the run to dover, meant the gumballers were taking it easy and we didn't see many out there.

I do my best; although, the video has tripped me up. I will get it up some how, but just not as quick as I would have liked :cry:

sl55, you could even open your own topic for such big update. Many ppl risk to miss it, buried on second page of somebody else's

BTW, sorry my ignorance, but what is the american car burning rubber? A Charger? Just wanted to pick that pic out of jon's lot for the next contest and need a name

jon_s · 05-01-2006, 04:35 PM

Look at it another way, 3000 miles of hard driving = very battered paint work. Stickers don't seem so bad then do they.

Stickers dont do shit mate, believe me, they dont last very long on the front of racing cars, and if the gravels got enough force to get through a few layers of paint and laquer, then a layer of plastic and gunna do bugger all!
