love the gumball rally series but i was under the impression that it had been banned? due to a head on crash in the last one killing all the people in the innocent car and the gumball driver survived?

The german known as Kimble. Pretty bonkers man indeed.

Didn't realise they still bothered with the Gumball.

Yup, but now they are running it in the US only.

Although I don't remember the previous ones, and if they do 3k in each country.

It got cancelled last year because of an incident ultimately leading to the death of a native driver.

It's still awesome though.

Has it been confined only to the US indefinitely? I missed out on going to the start in London with my bro-in-law, would still love to go.

I'm sure I read that he started his own spin-off type rally, took a load of people's money and then legged it? It also said how he always spoke of being a hacker too, but never was.

Not sure how true that is though.

Anybody know if Lonman is in it this year?

Twentymac · 6 May 2009 at 15:32

oh proberly that Lonman is epic !
