    i went, must admit it was quite "tame" compared to last year... they dumbed down the starting process so that the cars couldnt "show off", there was an A1GP car which was pretty cool, but the bigger cars didnt do much, like the veyron, and zonda. although still very cool, seeing the veyron and enzo side by side. actually saw more cars around the starting area, just walking around saw 2 Porsche GTs, an SLR, zonda roadster, 599 all within 3 min of each other just cruising around at hydepark corner. saw an mclaren F1 LM as well in a show room later in the day, or at least im pretty sure its one

    Great pics... but I wonder why everything is much more tame this year... did they get in trouble or something??? Also, I notice no major celebs in it this year, that I've heard, maybe that adds to it too. I heard the BullRun gave Paris Hilton a C8 Cpyker to participate... that will sure get a lot more guys to sign up and a lot more people to pay attention and follow it...

    Not to mention the "Bullrun" show on SpikeTV, even though it really doesn't hold a candle to the real deal it still makes the general public aware of the name...

    The orange 360 looks a little funny being all orange but the inside of the headlights are left the orig body color. Unless maybe the orange is a result of one of those temp vinyl sticker whole body wraps.

    The orange Mac is indeed an F1 LM. I had a look at that same showroom (must be the same place!) earlier in the year and there were some great cars in there including ex-F1 race cars and classic Ferraris. There were loads of superb cars driving round London yesterday, but I must admit the start was a little bit dummed down. Still amazing to see all the cars and the atmosphere was great!

    I can't believe someone took a 275 GTB/C on Gumball. Jesus. And a 250 spyder by the looks of it.

    jay-k and xibit? were in it, some others but didnt really know who they were, tony hawk as well was in it i think...
    also last year they were able to do burnouts and what not a lot better, this year they had all the fencing really really close to the cars so that it was harder, and there was a much much larger police presence there... kinda a shame, but eh

    I wouldn't have thought those cars are going the entire 3000 miles. The same guy owns them as well as the Enzo, Veyron and Cayenne Turbo. They might just have been there for the start. The coupe is definitely a 275GTC, but the spider isn't a genuine 250 :D

    Are those original wheels on the Ferrari F40?
    They look 'strange'

    It was being discussed at the start and the company who did the conversion - www.carbonyte.co.uk - had an extra long Range Rover Vogue Limo. The guys had pictures of the 360 Limo on show, but it was nowhere to be seen at the startline. It may be possible that the car was not completed on time or has joined the rally from outside London. I haven't seen it in any of the photos from checkpoints in mainland Europe however.
