[booyaka]

Nothing technically exciting but was up early on Sunday morning to see the Gumball 3000 cars/driver getting uploaded off the planes at Prestwick Airport to start the UK part of the rally.

Miami to Ibiza in 7 days is the route this year.

£40k to enter if you wish to join next year!

That would be so much fun to take part in one day. Quite the journey this year, looks like they flew all the cars from NYC to Scotland on cargo planes for that leg of the journey and then took a boat to make the final just across water to get to Ibiza!

There's quite a fun film documenting the rally from 2003 for anyone who wants a glimpse into what goes on

I was at the Mound in Edinburgh last Sunday for this, was amazed how busy it was, we ended up being too close to the cars to take good pics if that makes sense.
