You need to get invited to actually DO the Gumball, now that would be awesome.

alextwo · 30th Apr 2007, 23:22

All those beautiful cars... and then they have to go and slap a crap load of stickers all over them, like some five year old gone mad.

Jamie · 30th Apr 2007, 23:28

Would you rather they painted the sponsorship on?

sam.g.taylor · 30th Apr 2007, 23:31

There must be about $4 million on that page alone (not including the two blondes)

Krikkit · 30th Apr 2007, 23:36

Hot damn, nothing beats the exclusivity of a Veyron tbh. Awesome. *jealous*

myriad · 30th Apr 2007, 23:37

I love the Gumball, its so awesome gawdddd

devdevil85 · 30th Apr 2007, 23:38

I agree. Those stickers need to go. Nobody's gonna see them at 160kph! Those cars are pretty sweet though. I wanna see some vidz when they come out.

The_Pope · 30th Apr 2007, 23:44

Can anyone explain how the Germany Police can be allowed to fine someone, an innocent member of the public, 420 euros just for having a Gumball sticker on their car??? link

Those hoping for video footage: I shot over an hour of DV yesterday. Might not have time to edit until the weekend though - too much bit-tech biz to get done this week.

Krikkit · 30th Apr 2007, 23:52

Because it's a road race? I've no idea where they stand (legally speaking) on this, I don't think it sounds very sensible though...

Good point. Although I'm not sure if I could bring myself to put stickers anywhere near my supercar paintwork (speaking hypothetically of course

)

Krikkit · 1st May 2007, 01:37

I'm sure it's done by professionals who probably put a big fat layer of wax under them, then restore it back to normal afterwards (for the really expensive ones anyway).

To be honest, I'd give a leg to be in the gumball, they get away with such ridiculous things. (Anyone remember that video of an M5 going through some french town, led by a police car all the way? Awesome stuff. What about the Koenigsegg caught doing ~240mph in Texas?)

glaeken · 1st May 2007, 02:58

It would be so awesome to be in the gumball rally. Mischief has a couple of videos of the rallies from NY to LA and France to Morocco, pretty f'n sick. Hell it would be cool enough just to do One Lap of America.

J-Pepper · 1st May 2007, 04:30

Anyone want to sponsor me and my RX8 for next years Gumball...?

Neogumbercules · 1st May 2007, 05:11

I'll take the Enzo please.
