Gumball 3000

The San Francisco Citizen shot some great photos of the the start of the 10th annual Gumball 3000 2008 Rally today at the top of Nob Hill in San Francisco. 120 cars are participating in the 2008 world tour, traveling 3000 miles in 8 days.

Driving 3000 miles over an intense eight days, incorporating the cultural diversities of East and West civilisations; flying all cars and participants between Continents; witnessing the Mass Games in North Korea, the Olympic Games in Beijing; and partying each night fuelled only by adrenaline, amusement and amity, the 2008 route will undoubtedly be a real once in a lifetime adventure!

Yeah, we had on of those guys on our tail. He had a yellow blinking light & a bullhorn. I guess we were too slow for Mr. Gumball, cuz all of a sudden we heard this thing that sounded like a cop ….but it was a car that said Gumball on it. Don refused to pull over, and the guy took a right.
