Default Gumball next year? anyone?

Hi all, this is a serious £££ request, what's happening next year ref Gumball, anyone doing it? It has been a dream of mine for a while, the wife has even agreed to re mortgage the house to put toward it. How much does it cost to enter, I was looking at £10 000 approx, Now I've sold the mk2 I need something to live for in the automotive section of my life!
I'm hopefully buying an Evo 6 soon which I think may be suitable for it ( you imagine doing all those miles in the mk2!!)
or, is anyone doing it and needs a service crew, I have my van and trailer,

and I don't mind paying my way.
And aswell as competing I've been doing service crew in rallying for a while now so I know my way around a car. Or is anyone interested in coming along as a paying passenger?
Well, anyone up for it?
Andy
it's taken me 5 years to make all the equity in my house, but when you die you can't take it with ya!

to be honest mate i wouldnt use an evo, they have a service every 10 miles

He has thought long and hard about this simply sensational offer of yours Jim

unfortunately the answer is no...


Maybe you should ask again in the future.


Perhaps when you stop smoking CRACK!!! Why would Martin want to pay someone else to do the Gumball???

Gumball 2005 is sold out anyway.

Still, if you don't ask you don't get!
