Good luck, I think this is an idea that once its in your head, its only a matter of when you do it, if not in 2009, then somwhere else along the line, just like Rocky Balboa, especially if it's within your means..........Do you own a gun yet?????

It's not cheap either, Ł6,500 + VAT based on 2 drivers and 1 car.
Full details here: http://www.cannonball8000.com/europe/rally-2008-europe/
You won't get the big ticket names there (although will mellor took part in the one day event I did), neither will the parties be quite so spectacular, but in terms of meeting like-minded people, having good fun and banter on the way and in between, it can't be far off.
We really had a cracking time and it was one of those week ends where you go home afterwards wishing it could just go on and on and on...
Look here for full details of the next event: http://www.cannonball8000.com/europe/rally-2008-europe/
There are a few others though, which are better value than cannonball8000, like this one: http://www.cannonballruneurope.co.uk/uk/index.htm

I done the Cannonball a few years ago and it was a brilliant trip.
We went to Brussels, Prague then Budapest, as you say although the parties aren't quite as big the whole thing is a awesome experience, We were hanging it out with all sorts of people and not once did I feel they looked down on us as we had a Clio and clearly didn't earn what they did.
I'd love to do it again but it was (to me) a expensive holiday and maybe doing it again will spoil the great memories I have.
Best of luck Martin and Lee, its quite likely you'll get to play against a Veyron or something similar

You'll need some advertising on the Car martin, I can think of one company!!
So I'm trying to find out how we get the car over to LA, and my contact in LA is asking me If I'm familiar with the Gumball Rally!
