Gumball 3000 -> All coverage of the 2005 edition As I was saying in my first post, I came across this board when looking for info on a 1966 Pontiac GTO for my Gumball 2005 participant portfolio.
The gumball is a 6 day 3000 mile endurance run which was held 3 weeks ago from London to Monaco.
After collecting a lot of info on the teams, drivers and the event I put together a little website containing all this info and pictures, including links to video's etc
http://gumball.icshosting.nl
I hope it's okay to post here, and hope you like it!
Here's a little preview:
Team 38:
38 Christopher Patterson British 1966 Pontiac GTO
38 Christian Drew British 1966 Pontiac GTO

I guess if you got a decent car which is allowed in you should be done for about $20k

I will do this some day before I am 30yrs. old. I want to do the one in America. And I would only do it in a Enzo or better can. I am at the Ferrari deal today getting my Escalade worked on and I have to say I love those cars but hate the Maserati are ugly.
Was looking into a Bentley GT or Aston Martin for my next ride. But Aston Martin is owned by ford.
