56K warning - well Snowman warning really!! :)

Hi all

Greetings from the UK. Just got back from the start of the Gumball 3000 race.

I have a lot of pics and some footage but have realised I dont have my cable with me so they will have to wait until I get back to Melbourne in a week.

Saw some amazing cars including a Ferrari Enzo, Porsche GT, Astons etc

Also saw Jenson Button who started the race as he is currently banned from the GP this weekend. Jay Kay is also racing this year I believe as well, possibly in the Enzo.

Snowy, I made the trip into central London to avoid you banning me!

See you all soon and I will sift through for some good pics. :)

Thats tuff, my best mates over there atm, wonder if he saw it. He reckons people in UK have money to burn. He was working in Mayfair and he couldnt beleive the cars he saw in only a few days.

Cant wait to see these picks. We dont have something like that in OZ yet do we?

I got some footage of the Enzo leaving, only a few seconds but looks fantastic. Every second car in the Mayfair area is a Merc or BMW so a lot of money in the area. I dont think there is anything like that in oz but with the speeds the guys do, I wouldnt fancy it on some of the oz roads!

We saw a black M3 setting up with cameras presumably to cover it but didnt see a name on it. Will try and edit the footage slightly and filter some of the better pics out.

Hey all,

Just flown in. Massive massive thanks to Chrisnichollis! House sat for us so the cats survived and didnt get eaten by Snowy's if they stayed with him! Have about 50 pics and some footage of the Enzo leaving the start as well so will check it all out in the morning. The tank was actually a promotion from the British Army to try and recruit due to the large expected attendance of young guys. The gumball team were nice enough to sticker it up.

Pics in the morning people, am off to bed!

There was also a red Ferrari, maybe mid nineties with a VIC plate on it but I cannot find the pic! It was white text on a black plate and said something like "COSMO"

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
