I was going to do the Players Run, but had to get out in the last minute. Gumball sounds cool, but $8,000 is a lot of money.....

You're right, my mistake, but that makes it around $13,000.00 in US greenbacks, that is a lot...at least for me...

Ian,

Are you joining for sure? I was going to join with my 911 Turbo but the delivery date was delayed. I don't want to take a brand new turbo to the rally sine I feel like I need to break it in first.

I don't want to go with the C32 since I don't have any performance mods in my car. I was hoping to go with something faster. My brother might join with his tuned 911 carrera; if indeed he decides to participate I'll send you an Email so we can meet.

Regards,

Tomaso

- SL 55 AMG delimited

- and last but not least my C 32...

So we[me and a friend] are just waiting for the confirmation...
And in case that there are no mo places left we will join next years gumball earlier
