I remember in the DVD I have of the gumball that year, at the crash scene, you can hear one of the other competitors say "shit man, that was one of the fastest cars here" or something like that, som im saying it was impressive

How about entering a time attack event as well if you’re over this side of the world?
The yanks will not know what’s hit them.

wow, 2 minds. one part of me says do it.as t will raise some serious eyebrows on it,and as said you have unfinished business. the other part says dont due to what happened last time.now lee has sold the 3dr i'd be gutted if yours even got tapped lightly now.


you know the car is built far far better than the last,you know its pretty much bullet proof like lee's and im sure you will be alot more careful(not that you intended what happened last time).

as you say you only live once and you may as well enjoy it mart.

im just jealous and gutted im a peasant and cant afford to do one myself. its one of them things that you dont understand until you have the buzz and atmosphere of all the people around you doing it.

if you do go for it mart,good luck buddy

O yes, this is the most popular one I think. It is also shown on the speed cable channel.

All the best martin if u decide to do this. Must be some fkin trip! exciting and scary all in one.

I remember finding a picture of ur escort sat in traffic in the last gumball u entered, it was supercar, supercar, Reyland, supercar, super car. I just thought it looked so bloody cool all stickered up and sitting on a busy street

johncossie

hey best of luck if u and porkie do next years gumball martin

Everyone by now knows of the Gumball Rally, Martin sticks his car in it, people see it, maybe a chat with him during the filming and bang, XXXXXXXX Amount of people see the car built in his own workshop, thats enough of an advert for any Ford freak with a need for power.

I'd pay that much just to hang out at the playboy mansion with my old pal Heffi

only as long as i can play with bridgette and holly for that amount.

Dan F

Oh yeah definitely +1

Rodge.

Correct. It's a great advertising opportunity which takes some of the sting out of the cost!

Some companies spend millions a year on advertising for a few 30 second clips on the TV!

Martin can probably write off some of the costs for this as "advertising" if he has a good accountant!

steviecossie

go for it martin, would love to do the gumball

is porkie going to be the co-driver then???

Oranoco

Go fo it Martin mate. Would be awesome to see the Escort on the Gumball again. It seemed like a lot of people didn't know what had hit them with the last car.

If I even had a thought I could raise the cash needed I would be there like a shot

GARETH T

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Depends what you mean by "had the money" though, realistically, im sure you could raise 22.5K surely?

Difference between having it and having it to spend on something so frivalous, lol

Be sure not to piss off the police they are a bit gun happy, Or will it be on "World wildest police chases" lol

GARETH T

danneth

Lets try and get to the finish this time

MikeR

Is there still 2 pricing structures for this, i.e if you have entered before it is cheaper ? just curious thats all, and does that head case in the Porsche still enter that used to do all the doughnuts?

Mike
