	*EDIT* I've had to move these photos as I ran out of bandwidth on Photobucket! (Lot of people Googling for pics, I suspect.) I'll put them back up here later, but in the meantime, I blogged a few of the photos here: sucksqueezebangblow-juice.blogspot.com/2011/05/gumball-3000-goes-digital.html *EDIT* I snuck out of the office while nobody was looking, like some kind of stealthy ninja, and got the Tube down to Covent Garden to check out some hot Gumball action. Retro Cars mag had been tweeting about the Clio V6-based Renault 4, so I was keen to see it for myself... And, of course, there was a plethora of spicy exotica on show. More pics comin'...

	The lesser-spotted Aston Martin One-77. Delicious, even in this raucous colour scheme.

	I have always wanted to do the gumball as well. looks like so much fun. RR should sort out a mini gumball to Barcalona or somthing. I'd pay to attend that! (obviously need to finish the car first)

	It goes London>Paris>Barcelona>Monaco Grand Prix>Venice>Belgrade>Istanbul. They're stopping off at the Circuit D'Albi tomorrow which is really near where my folks live (a little north of Toulouse) so I've advised them to go down and observe some track action... Here's the itinerary: www.gumball3000.com/history/2011

	One of my mates once video called me (the first and only video call i've ever received), could just about make out the rear of a Ferrari 360 and Porsche 911 turbo at full chat. He dropped the phone down to show 190mph on the speedo of his car (Very tuned 700bhp Audi RS6 estate - he wasn't even doing the Gumball they just came screaming past him so he decided to show them up lol). Was somewhere in England but can't remember where. That Renault 4 is superb. Matt

	Wow - even though it's (mostly) all modern, this is a post full of win. Even if I had multi millions in the bank, I don't think I'd have the cojones to wrap a roller... And (sorry to go off topic) are these two birds or blokes? If the former, the one on the right needs to sack her surgeon.

	What an absolute taste apocalypse. I hadn't previously thought it was possible to make an Aston or a Maserati look hideous but there you go, someone's managed it. I need some bleach for my eyes.
