That sucks to hear the stasis r8 has had so many problems. Hopefully the gallardo and camaro will make it.

Should have kept it stock imho. He had probs with his suspension, his A/C died and now his fuel pump died.
According to his blog he made it to Las Vegas . . .

Marien is an unknown quantity at this point
He did, but check his facebook.

"Guess we are not going to win today. It was a good run as long as it lasted but the 110 degrees and our "active" driving got the beat of the fuel pump.... Now we just have to find a way to get to the party in time!!!"

Jon showed up in a limo tonight lol.

Bryan Salamone was great! Met up with him and he couldn't have been nicer. I'll post pics in the morning.

This might be a bit soon, but looks like next year might be London-Monaco-Moscow. Now THAT is a Gumball I'd want to go on.

Not that i have any experience at all but I happen to agree. I miss watching the old videos back from 2003. I feel like its more about the parties and not about the driving and the rally. But what do I know.

Completely agree. Even last years was 100x better. Even seeing it up close in Detroit this year, it seemed lackluster. Maybe it was because I was in Monaco right before, where half the cars wouldn't have even stuck out, but maybe not.
