Gumball 3000 Starts today (e90 participting!)

Agni · 04-30-2006, 12:17 AM

The famous Ant and Pete team will be using e90s this year. :rocks:

In the last few ones they used a black e46 ZHP.

If you guys dont know what it is, its a rally, 3000 mile race, and everynight there are parties

, its a race pretty much for the rich and their super cars.

It takes place on public roads, and people get pulled over and even jailed many times over during the event.

Its an extravagant event, its also star studded, Adrian Brody, Tony Hawk, Pam Anderson, etc..etc.

This year the cars are flown from each leg of the tour! Europe> S-E Asia> USA. Talk about $$$$

Its costs upwords of $200,000+ just for the event(car price not included)

I love the concept of the Gumball: driving too fast all day and then drinking too much all night. Does it get any better?

Not so much stupid, as it is getting trite. I'd participate if they'd waive the entrance fee.

cdheaven · 04-30-2006, 04:05 PM

i think the entrance fee is a good idea. i mean yeaaaaa, its a lot of money, and yeaaa, it keeps me from doing it. but if it was free, it would be a bunch of old z4's doing the race. haha. JK. but seriously. i think its good there is a big price tag. when i finally can afford it, i will be way happy that im only running with a bunch of other filthy rich people.

Sometimes they waive it, if your car's unique enough.

cdheaven · 04-30-2006, 04:26 PM

i would be willing to bet that some of the more famous people might get special treatment. like they are making a big deal about bam and dunn. i wouldnt be suprised if they arent paying the full shit. i also cant wait to see some highlight of the run on the jackass show.

Agni · 04-30-2006, 05:00 PM
