I don't know.

Didn't a black one take part last year or the year before? Anyone know who that was?

This years Gumball is £20000 to enter I believe!!! A distinctly average black atmo GTA did enter last year - was one of the cars commandeered by the Spanish police.

Me and Steve went through the Gumball 3000 guidelines and entry forms, it was £30000 for new Gumballers and £20000 for existing ones!

How about a club sweep-stake to fund an official RAOC car for next year.
I think Lee would be up for it & I know Andy would.

I,m doing a lone, stealth ,Numballs 2005 .No one will see me :cry:

They are going to China and the US this time so the fees are crazy .
What about a Alpine Eurohoon :?:

Blast thro europe picking up fellow alpeeners on-route ending in Boulogne .

........ an Alpine Eurohoon but starting in the UK straight over to the continent and tour around race circuits around europe with a day at each one, number of circuits TBA, a large support vehicle in tow also for obvious reasons

ending in Monaco with a large party! then a race back to the UK with a prize for the fastest car arriving back in the UK! just a small Idea......any takers.... :twisted:

sorry but £40K entry fee for a blat around wherever...... don't think so :shock:

i'd rather hire a circuit buy a missile and drive it to destruction oh and leave enough cash in the pot to get comatosed on Dom Perignon vintage :lol:

I don't understand these guys.
If you want to hoon across europe, Do it...
Don't give someone else 20k plus to arrange it.
Look on a map, spend a couple of hours on the internet and ask the boss for the time off, and do it.
