That is absolutely gorgeous.

Oh my...

It was stunning. I could not bring myself to park it in a space like that. There are much better spaces in that car park.

Looks like the passenger has dented the vans side getting out?

People doing stupid stuff doesn't make it a race. There isn't and never has been any timing, there's no places, no competitive authorisation, no prizes, nothing. Just ridiculous behaviour in and out the cars. Calling it a race is giving it far more credit than it deserves really.

Unless you think that this Gumball is in any way connected to or a continuation of the Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Dash aka the Cannonball? Which it isn't.

I know it's Nasher and I totally understand, but he never said it was a race, he said there was racing, which simply means people doing silly stuff as you mentioned.

Apart from the bit where he said it was "basically a cross-continent road race"?

He actually said "It's not what is was when it started up, when it was basically a cross-continent road race".

Nice selective quoting though

Correct

Correct

Is there any other way to read what he posted other than him saying it used to be a race?

For the hard of thinking: It has never been a race, not now and not back when it started. It has never been a "cross continent road race" at any time in its 24-year history. It has, however, always been a huge drug bender interrupted by having to drive.

No, I don't think so.

dent looks too high for a low car

Looks can be deceiving...

Anyhow... The door is worth more than the van.

Did it end up getting crashed, like the majority of fast fords owned by 20 year olds back then?

Not crashed but did blow the engine
