Default Biting My Nails !!!!!!!!!

Why - cos I just filled in the form for the 2005 Gumball Rally of Europe.
Have to wait a few days to see if I am going to be accepted and if I need to rob my Visa card of about $30 grand plus the cost of a car !!!!!!

If they do allow me in will be looking to buy a radical but reliable 454 to use.

Wish me luck...................................

Didn't the 2004 one just get busted last week? I know the article mentions Cannonball Run, but aren't they the same thing?

CONGRATS, i love the gumball rally 3000, i have been following it ever since its start a few years ago, sounds like the journey of a lifetime, supposedly the next one will be in the USA, i have some videos of the latest one which took place in may, i would love to enter it as soon as we get our vette fixed up enough to run with the ferraris and lambos, so probably in three-four years. Best of luck to you

What car would you be running? HAHA, if you get accepted, better get a good radar detector, radar jammer, and the expensive laser jammer/detector.
