Gumball3000blog is back from London

Monday, April 30th, 2007

The Gumball 2007 start was just amazing. The most exclusive and expensive cars in the world drove down the street last sunday in London. We have took thousands of pictures and videos that we still have to sort out and will upload. We had a great time in London, met some other Gumball fans and talked with Gumball drivers.

Stay tuned for the latest updates and news!

SLR 722 & Bugatti Veyron checking in

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Looks like this Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 McLaren is checking. Although it has the same license plate the standard SLR drove the Gumball in 2005. Maybe a body kit, but we think it is the 722 edition! Check out the Veyron 16.4 pictures!

Team MTV is ready for Gumball 2007

Friday, April 27th, 2007

The Gumball 3000 rally kicks off this Sunday and MTV intrepid reporter Rickie is going all the way Asia and back. Rickie, producer James and their mate from MTV Pakistan Wiqar have got a pimped up supercharged Range Rover (credits to Saxtons 4×4) to race in. It’s also got a PS3 in the back (credits to EA Games) so they won’t get bored. They’ll be following the teams’ progress back in Blighty as they visit Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Athens, Berlin and the rest of Europe! Rickie told us what he’s looking forward to: “I’m excited about the long hours driving to parties,” he said. “It will be cool to meet Xzibit, Jay Kay (from Jamiriquai) and play pranks on Danny Dyer.” “It’ll be great to visit Athens too and we’re having a black tie dinner with the President of Albania. But of course I’ll miss Shantha!” Follow the team’s progress from now till the finishing line right here.
