    Saw a great interview with Maximillion Cooper on YouTube, I have much more respect for him and his event now. He founded the Gumball Rally about the same time I did FerrariChat. I never really thought much about it, saw some press here and there plus FChat threads. Wasn't really my thing European, high cost, with over the top personalities and parties. Kind of seemed to be the kickoff to the wrapped exotic "hookers & blow" crew that continues to this day.

    Maximillion has a great head on his shoulders had the perfect background skateboarder and model who had high profile and celebrity contacts. There was a need and he perfectly filled it.

    Who all has done it before? Has Maximillion ever been on FChat?

    Interesting. Ill check out the video. I used to watch those videos downloaded from napster and limewire back in the early 2000s when I was in college.

    There have been so many to attempt duplicating in the USA and I don't know if any have been successful except for maybe just a year or two.

    they've all been crap really, people underestimate just how much planning is needed for these events and how many issues pop up during them

    also none have the prestige that Gumball has built up although the driving standards can vary year by year!

    To add another degree: I went on a couple dates with Eve's best friend/personal assistant about a decade ago. We started talking on the dating app because she had a pic posed on a car at Gumball and I asked her about it.

    Never ran Gumball, but I was friends with the Yo/Rogue Status/DTA crew when they were running it often in the late 00s, think it kicked off from LA in 2009ish.
