Andrews idea, just expanding on it!
Who would be interested in doing a Gumball style event across Europe in 2006? Only open to those with performance orientated Volvos? (T4, T5, T6, D5 etc)
I'm thinking, lots of high-speed driving (budgeting for a few fines!), plenty of partying, some fab scenery and lots of good food!
Would need at least 5 cars entering to make it a 'group' thing and would be pretty awesome. It wouldn't be too cheap, but... well! Life is for living!
I'd be happy to organise something like this if enough people are interested?

Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts£40,000? Last time I checked it was £3,000! I was going to enter, but.. I think it's slightly too hectic and pricey! Read the book "Our Gumball Rally" about the two chaps who entered in a V70R - its very entertaining and bloody funny. Originally Posted by The Flying Banana

I guess the 'ring' could be incorperated on the return from a Europe trip??

Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts£40,000? Wow. Seriously, last time I looked; which would have been just under a year ago and I could have sworn it was £3,000. Maybe it was the Cannonball run I was looking at! Originally Posted by The Flying Banana
