[iconicrocket]

This just begs the questions of how many roadkill did each participant ran over? lol.

Anyone entered a Veyron in the race?

[x_o_k_x]

Yep this year new Veyron is there also new Range Rover sports coupe all in august

[3GFX]

One day I'm gonna hit up the Gumball. Probably not in the Mazda, but hell I'd still do it.

[optiklenz13]

oh guess what, they will be here on the 6th, Yorkville.

Who's down for a cruise downtown on Thursday? :)

[loganm3]

I think they are also doing a drift event in Shannonville.....I'm going to be downtown with my camera, and maybe grabbing pint at Hemmingways patio of there is room.

[optiklenz13]

Yes they will be at shannonville earlier that day..

[x_o_k_x]

Going to Shannonville already, maybe even tag along to Toronto if I can in the R33

[dragons4life]

Is this worth the skipping of work ?

[x_o_k_x]

Just want to say, had a blast driving in a gumball. I drove just ontario part of the Gumball and went to Shannonville check point. First of all, there were atleast 20+ cop cars thru whole trip on every Uturn and under bridges. In some places people where waving at me and taking pictures along side 401. However some cop cars, would turn on their cheries at me and high beam.. (I knew there was police from 5 miles away so i slowed down in time). Second time cop was point at me... (wth does that mean?) I took lots of pictures and videos also. To finish it off, I got a ticket... Not for speeding, but for not having proper front liscence plat mounted.. How gay is that?..

[towelsnap]

heard Shannonville was a blast... sucks I couldn't be there

[cereal83]

Crap, I wish I would have read this a few days ago. Have any pics?

[loganm3]

I'll have some pics later today....I was in Yorkville from 6-....? Can't really remember too much

DAMN! 140 then 170! That sucks! lol. I'm sure they don't even care about the ticket cost though... Must be nice to be rich!

[dentinger]

Agreed, but I'm sure the car being impounded for a week is going to cause them some problems.

Most definitely. There goes the trip.

That explains it!

I was in Kingston for the day yesterday and on my way back to toronto, I couldnt figure out why the hell there were so many OPP officers! I kept the car at 110km all the way home cause I thought it was a crazy speed blitz LOL.

I saw one guy pulled over outside of toronto - he had about 3 cops around his car. Looks like he made it in the news cause he was pulled over again later and had his car seized......

[midnightfxgt]

Not when you have their money. The one guys car broke down, so when he got to MTL he walked into a Chevy dealership and grabbed a Yellow Camaro, just to finish the last couple days.

Some other people had car issues, and had helicopters pick them up! ;)

Lol I was wondering why that Camaro was there!

Did anyone see the Hoff?

[MAZDA Kitten]

^^ I know that yellow Camaro was totally out of the place. Didnt have the stickers. That explains it

[x_o_k_x]

that Bugatti has brake calipers bigger then average size of human arms. And rotors bigger then your rims. As well as Bentley GT

Charger was at Shannonville. Those rear rims are freaking HUGE.

[gabbygenier]
