saff_cossie Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 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. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73605-gumball-3000/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABuSD Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 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?

saff_cossie Posted May 15, 2005 Author Share Posted May 15, 2005 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.

saff_cossie Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 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! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73605-gumball-3000/#findComment-1365532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
