Oh boy, what have we started? Who cares who knows me?

Incidentally, if anyone is involved in shipping cars, Mr. Avery at US Customs is a great resource and all around nice guy. Wish all government bureaucrats were like him.
Rgds,
Faisal.

Faisal,
Because I do, and I have a colleague with the same name, was thinking what a small world. (looked at your profile, same location and occupation.)

yeah, but look on the bright side:
- your car is on a ship for a month
- there's lots of other expenses
- you get to thrash your car,
- you will probably get lots of tickets,
- you might end up in jail,
- your car is on a ship for another two weeks.

I don't get it:

You pay $10,000 per person to attend a 4 day rally and allow them to plaster ads all over your $400,000 car???? They sell the ads also for profit yet charge you an exorberant amount of money for coming in the first place.

That is nutz!

Ahh man, I love that Morgan Aero8 :-)
And there were even 2 of them, Suh-weet
Thanks for the photo's Faisal.

Btw, I'm not sure if it was a F50 of the Cavalino Rampante Classico, since those stickers were also different. But it was surely a European one :-(

Here are 2 F50's with a Cavalino Rampante Classico sticker :

I was looking at the Gumball F50 this year at the Mandalay Bay in Vegas...this is probably not it. As noted, the sticker content is lower and the F50 was running open cockpit. (Perhaps they brought the roof along in the support truck?) Nice lineup at the hotel...wish I had my camera with me. My 4 year son was behind the Murcielago when they fired it up...scared and exciting all the same to him!

I don't think it's a Gumball victim, since all the cars participating are heavly stickered.

Last years F50 was completly covered with stickers. I'll try to find a pictures

Btw. I don't think that "�AMTC****RMARK" is some english word for pickup truck or a company's name in the US.
