Default 2006 Gumball costs 40,000 (or 30,000 if you're a returning guest!)

A friend of mine did the second one, and I went to a few of the parties in Europe when it was still a couple of grand a piece. This year it's 40,000 pounds for the car and two people! Put's very vast majority of people out of entering! Although, 112 of the 120 spaces have been filled!

However, they are pulling out ALL the stops, London to Istanbul in your Enzo or SLR, then fly to Hong Kong, pop up to Beijing, fly over to LA, nip up to Vegas and then finish up at Salt Lake City, 8 days after getting on the ferry from Dover! Hopefully they fly the car back from Salt Lake, but it doesn't mention that!!!

The question is, how do they top that for the 2007 rally?

I wonder where they'll get all the cocaine from?

Do they take it with them, or are the organisers who arrange this stuff?

Quite fancy doing the Scumball. Its more for the masses as the car must not be worth more than £1000. Not to sure of the details but sounds like a laugh.

Me and a friend found the perfect car. An old Jag soverign (sp) with the rear doors welded up, painted orange with the General Lee flag on the roof. Looked complete tat and the height of cool all in one!!!
