Money is probably the least of your worries if you can afford one of those cars

I thought they stopped Gumball because too many sucky drivers joined and died?

TOPEC 04-30-2009 04:12 PM

Leopold Stotch 04-30-2009 04:25 PM

call me stupid but I thought Gumball was only in Europe

Harvey Specter 04-30-2009 04:34 PM

No, not Europe. They go and start all over the world. Don't think they've routed into Canada yet.

I thought I remembered hearing that a couple years ago an Mk4 GTI won, although that may have been a lie.

That was Bullrun in 2007 or 2008..


I also dont think the "winners" have anything to do with who comes in first.. They have a bunch of different categories since its technically not a race.
Some people take it very seriously though.

Also Gumball sorta seems like a rip off... I think its over twice as expensive as Bullrun and you actually seem to get less out of it.

Bwahahaha, I remember back when that 2CV won the race. It was priceless.

penner2k 05-01-2009 07:49 PM

For anyone interested in this type of stuff check out the book "The Driver" by Alexander Roy..
Its really interesting and some of the stuff that happens is just nuts.
