Gumball 3000

We just got back from Gumball 3000 and wanted to share with you some of the photos from the event. The car was simply amazing the whole time. We clocked 196mph (confirmed on 2 hand held GPS's) on the road to Casablanca.

We will be putting a full site together over the next week or so and adding some video footage too. We shot about 2 1/2 hours worth of on the road, some of the best shots were taken from a 355 spider that was tailing us over the mountains.

In the mean time there are a few photos online at www.gumballer.com and a lot more on a friends of ours site www.gumball2004.com

When we got to the hotel in cannes, we found a route card for next year. It says:
====================================

Greetings from the pyramids:

London
Monaco
Rome
Sicily
Tripoli
Cairo
Dubai

The 2005 Gumball 3000 Rally??

====================================

I think if they use ferries like they did this year, its possible to fit this route into a 3000 trip. The talk in the hotel was that the king of Dubai had granted the same permission as Morocco to us, which means no speed limits again!!!!

Do you know if the Tekademics crew was on this Gumball? They did a pretty sweet video, Mischeif 3000, about them on one of the Gumball 3000 rallies. Thanks for the pics. Its something I plan on doing someday.
