I had just finished the article in Vanity Fair magazine about the rally.
If half of what was written is true some of them should be locked UNDER the jail.

As an aside I typed GBR into the box and came across their very slick website, worth a look I think.

Yeah, if you like that then you should check out the video of it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

It's a rice burner website, but mischief 3000 is one of the coolest videos i've ever seen. I've probably watched it 10 times. Almost all the cars are high end exotics halling ass (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif).

You're spending too much time at your hair dressers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Wait....do you own a Boxster?

Yes, I imagine but only a very small group seems to have no regard for anyone beside themselves.

Although there does seem to be a few "bad apples" in the barrell. . . . .

2 years ago the Gumball went from San Fran (I live nearby) to Miami and my wife/sons got me a gift certificate to participate. We checked out the cars...pretty awesome machinery. However, the cars get trashed and my 914 would NOT be a comfortable cross country ride. I declined and got my refund. Surely fun for some, wife/sons got me a track day instead. Next year it will return to the US and go from east to west coast I believe.
