Do you think they are really car freaks? I would much rather spend the $$ on some serious track time or some great mods I could spend the weekend installing. To each his own. Would like to check out an Enzo though.

Sounds like half the cars listed don't really exist or the owners don't even know what year they were made!

No such thing as a 1999 F50
No such thing as a 2000 McLaren F1 (unless it is DC's or Mika's car! That would be cool)
An Enzo is not an F-60

These guys are freekin crazy. I got an e-mail from them last week. It said that there was five openings, and get this, the fee was 8,000 quid!!! In bucks thats almost $12,000. Can you say "I don't think so"? I knew you could. That is just plain stupid, to waist money like that. Besides the real Cannonball didn't cost anything at all to enter. All you had to do was have the car and guts to drive non stop from NY to LA in the fastest time. To bad that last time they ran it was in 1979.

Also, there were no model year 2000 Lamborghinis built; it probably is a 1999 or a 2001 6.0 Diablo.

ill be curious to see if the McLaren and the F50 drivers are the same as the ones from last years run. and the f60 will be a sight indeed. cant beleive someone is entering that car in a gumball run. at least its being DRIVEN and not parked somewhere under glass to die a slow boring death.

2003 Rally Route and Schedule
SAN FRANCISCO * LAS VEGAS * TUCSON * SAN ANTONIO * NEW ORLEANS * MIAMI

The 2003 rally will take place between April 17 and 22 (inclusive).

We will start in San Francisco and wind up 3000 miles away in Miami, five days later.


No comfirmations about the Enzo's as far as I've heared. Would love to see it, but not in a race like this. To much posers and crashes etc. But it would be cool to see it driven as it was ment to be.

Is it true there will be 4 Enzos this year? Read it on another board, although the Gumball website doesn't saying aything about the starting grid!

Is anybody from this board attending?
