Gumball 3000 – 2007: A short photo essay

Published on April 30th, 2007

Millions of US$ in sport cars were behind this Start Line

On Sunday, April 29th the start of the Gumball 3000 – 2007 took place in London, from Pall Mall, near Trafalgar Square. I went to see the cars that are participating this year, but especially, I was hoping to see a Bugatti Veyron, and as you will be able to see in the pictures, there was one. The Rally this year will go from London to Turkey and back, with a concert taking place next Sunday in Trafalgar Square, so if any of our readers are in London for that day, you will have something interesting to do. Click ‘more’ to see some of the vehicles participating.

Click on any of the pictures to see a MUCH larger and better quality version.

We have one Ferrari Enzo in the county. 1st time I saw it on the road, I was heading in the opposite direction > jumped the median with my pickup just to follow for a closer look.

I was told, later on, it was purchased as an investment by some rich dude > who mostly keeps it in storage > waiting to sell it at a monster profit.

I wish I could afford half of one of those… but then again, I just might buy a house for that much!!!!

Hah. That new Ariel Atom would wipe ‘em all out.

Atom whips Mercedes 600S at naught to 100.

Sorry about the duplicate post, 1st post resulted in a torrent of ‘Regex” error messages. I’ll try not to repeat this mistake in the future.

The ads stuck to those million dollar cars are awful. Can’t they afford to drive without them? I thought the Gumball was for rich folks with too much money and time.
