Cheers mate, I put some captions in just to liven the up a little, and a few of the girls mixed in too.
Some of the later, smaller pics are slightly lesser quality, but a reflection of the cars there today.
Also got some footage of Alex Roy on Hyde Park Corner, entertaining the crowds as ever.

Is that in reference to the scooby or all of them lol
Got to love the fact that a lot of people were wearing Adidas Gumball. Something good came from Adidas sponsorship.
Pretty happy with the pictures really, could have done better but was in a lot of pain with my arm and leg lol, oops.
If I find anymore good ones I will add them on.
Feel free to pass on the link to the gallery to others or forums

Team 73 was the highlight of todays RTL news bulletin. Their car was impounded after reckless driving and speeding in excess of 200 km/h. Ooops!

Could I be controvertial and say I think Gumballers / canonballers are a bunch of irresponsible arseholes...... Driving across Europe at break neck speeds with a blatant disregard for the law thinking they can buy their way out of any issue which comes their way.
I would say I cant wait for the first BIG ONE so that someone goes down for man slaughter, but no doubt it would an innocent who suffered.
Bell ends ..........

30k for the car and driver, and a further 20k per passenger.
Gutmann, I have to agree to a degree with you mate, considering some of the massive smashes there have been along the years, Bullrun is the other really dangerous one.
But I guess the whole excitement thing takes over peoples thoughts, and the danger is forgotton.
I like the start for the atmosphere more than anything else, and the chance to be up close to these cars.
In another breath some would say, whats the point in buying cars like these but never use them to their potential. Again, there is a time and a place.

Doing 200mph on a public road while weaving in and out of traffic is never going to be deemed as acceptable.
If they want to drive like ********* do it on a closed track day where they can run into eachother and no one else.

Got a snap of her, still not worked out who it is lol
Like I say on the other matter, I do agree regarding the speed issues etc. Never quite worked it out. Gumball is not a race and has no over all winner. Its not about finishing first apparently, its the taking part and the parties.
The next question you could as it.... how many of the driver are fit to drive after little sleep and possibly lots of alcohol?
The Bullrun is a RACE so to speak, and the american cops do well nicking them. When the gumball hit the US a cop was recorded breaking down in tears as he was so exhausted from the work they had caused him.
The final straw was an Enzo at about 197mph.

I was going to suggest the best way to stop it would be for the police to burn the lead car to the ground on the side of the road, but it probably wouldnt worry most of them anyway......

Its not ALL exotic cars with rich drivers. But a lot of them still take pride in their cars, so it might work.
