Tons of Pics From Gumball 3000 (56k Fail)

guardianangel3290 · 05-05-2009, 06:47 PM

sorry for the shitty quality, all i had on me was my cell phone

guardianangel3290 · 05-05-2009, 06:47 PM

(chrome lambo)

(Dennis Rodman's Ride haha)

(and the arab guys who were in it)

(my favorite)

(and the sticker on it's windshield^^^ lol)

(Blurry Jaguar XJ220)

Cars I wish i would've taken a pic of:
Yellow Porche GT3 w/ matte black HREs
2 Maserati Gran Turismos (one blue, one pink/purple)
Chrome Ferrari F430
Black Aston Marton DBS Volante
7 Bentley Continentals
Bugatti Veyron

The cops in Santa Fe are fucking ASSHOLES! At like 9:00 pm (when all the cars were showing up) they started trying to get people to leave the plaza. About an hour later they started grabbing random people and throwing them in handcuffs. For instance, the cops were screamin at this woman, then when her husband placed his hand on one of the cops backs to ask what was going on (I know you dont touch cops, but this guy was not being agressive AT ALL), 3 of them threw him on the ground and arrested him. When they were taking him to the car they wouldnt let him get his balance. the guy was like 70.
I really wish I wouldve gotten a video of them.
Way to go Santa Fe! Your city gets one significant event and your cops start abusing the patrons.

I can imagine the forum on veyronpost.com

New threads:

* My Veyron got impounded! Had to slum it back home in my G5 ;_;

* Looking for a winter beater. How is the Rolls Phantom?

* Raced an F16 from a roll last night, got him by 2 lengths!

Scorpion · 05-05-2009, 10:30 PM

The route they take is different every year. This year they are driving from LA to Miami.
I heard that next year they are driving from Prauge to London then airing the cars to Ontario and finishing up in New York City

marty_mcfly · 05-06-2009, 02:30 AM

When 44k is just the options list on a car, it seems a whole lot more justifiable.
