gumball anybody?

i looked into doin this in a 735 BMW (cheap car + fast) but don't mean to p*ss on ya chips but i'm sure its £10,000 + £3000 per additional driver. :cry: i'd try it in my new G but i'm finding out how much of a fuel monster it is!!! probably cost me an arm n leg to get to Dover!

Will investigate costs and report

will look into costs - have freind who is contact with the organiser =

guess a budget will have to be made
and a feasibility study !!!
bottom line - corporate sponsors pay a large chunk if not all.
of course finding them is the trick to getting the show on the road.
I have a charity in mind for the event - and we raise personal sponsorship for the charity
Also i aa a cameraman/editor etc so we could shoot it all!!!

just called my guy he confirms that its in MAy and runs london to Monte carlo via croatia
and ends at the GP !!!! cool
it is 10k in but doble i think
especially if we can provide corps with a film to show off with their logo everywhere
!
thoughts please

Well we could always enter the pope mobile...

The Beijing-Paris race is still accepting entries... we could do the whole race on peanut oil to make it interesting.... spend half the time looking for the local supermarket...
