their probally will be a couple of small reports of it on television but to see lots of movies about Gumball 3000 internet is the best place to look for.

[ZfrkS62]

It's only a 80 km drive for me, and I was already planning to go.

Does anybody know which Eurotunnel train they will take? Cause Calais - Acoz can easily be done in 2 hours if you just go a little over the speed limits. And are those times GMT or CET?

[Refefer]

Wow, that is a sick lineup.

Doing the math, from the main top 3:

Porsche: 18
Lamborghini: 10
Ferrari: 24

:shock:

I cannot wait for the vids

[c0wb0y007]

Maybe I can come along as well. It's a Saterday so ... . And cool there is a team with a Carrera GT.

If I come, I would forget my camera 8)


Cheers

[davide]

Now we gotta wait another year for THIS year's Gumball race... that's just sad!

the 2004 dvd is mine! all mineee!!

[komotar]

I can't wait to see all these cars, take pics make a vid or two...

I hope I'll be able to do an interview with Caprice and Jodie, Quentin...

In my media creditential form, you can request all the interviews you wan't to do... 8)

I hope I'll have a good time in Dubrovnik....
The party should be awesome, altough, there is a posibility, the rally will not spent the night in Dubrovnik. They may cross the Adriatic and spent the night in Bari ( Italy ).....we'll see

I'm toying with the idea to cross the Adriatic sea and go to sicily with the rally and then go back home....

If all goes well, I'll get to go in the new Opel Astra GTC and also write a review of the car, and take some pics of the car on the Dalmatian coast...

[The Transporter]

Count me in ! I'll be there
