I suppose there will be more pics on the net cause almost everyone had cameras there :P

[saadie]

[The Transporter]

For Fuck Sake ...

Here is the car I missed at Acoz:

1) Ferrari Enzo
2) Mercedes SLR
3) Ferrari 288 GTO

I'm shure some guys found another way to enter the castle...

[ARMAN]

wondeful pics arman ...... u really like car butts huh ... :mrgreen:

Yea, its assorama form ARMAN :lol: Most of the time its pain to take pics from the front cause you stand right infront of the car that is moving, and asses are alost always better looking :wink:

Thats all the pics I got :( There was only 16MB card in camera :roll:

@The Transporter - there were 2 SLRs but it was too crowded around them and I am not a real big fan of it to say the truth.
GTO was f*king awsome and lowd, 2 british guys wearing priests clothes were driving it :D

The only one SUPERSPORT I saw is CGT, when I arrived I only heard it screaming :shock: insane sound, he was parking in on the hotels parkinglot as you can see on one(two) of pics.


All care arrived to that hote, but ofcourse ther was no place to park so they sent them to the garages in other hotel(I now were it is after watching tracking map :?) I doubt that someone will get in there though.

[saadie]

lol :lol: ..
well u should have taken pics at a lower res then ... like 1024 :P or 640 :mrgreen:

[ARMAN]

I switched at home to 1024 but this f****** bitch camera turned it back to 1600 :roll: I realized it after taking more than half of the pics :|

[adamwich]

Great pictures! Thanks man!

[coombsie66]

Nice pics guys!
One thing is annoying me though, i didnt manage to see Lonman in his GT2 or Kimble in his merc, and it appears that no one else has at the other checkpoints, are tehy not competing this year?! They said they were for sure. :?

[TransAm]

Thanks for going to the trouble of getting these pics and posting them up, Arman!

[TT]

Very well! We are doing damn good with the tracking! Sadly I fear we don't have a JW nut in Italy to cover the event there :(

[ARMAN]

You're welcome guys, I am a JW consumer most of the time, this is the least I can do to pay it back :wink:

@TT - what about a007apl? We have buch of italian JW members, or not?

[davide]

bruuuutal!

[sndr]

great pics this one looks stunning

[Wutputt]

Lovely pics!!! It seems it was crowed in Prague but luckily not overcrowed. You could at least take decent pics :D Thanks for sharing them. That 288 GTO is just awesome.

There was only one way to enter the castle, and it was via that little bridge over the water. But most gumballers couldn't reach the ckeckpoint. Only a small amount actually showed at the castle ;)

What I heard is Kimble and some other contestants were excluded before the Gumball, cause they have given the Gumball a really bad reputation in the media.

[ARMAN]

Please change for thumbnails - http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24269, thanx for pics. Have you took them?

EDIT: you're fast :wink: You took pics?

[The Transporter]

woaw ! This is the best set of pictures I've seen today !

[PERT]

I was there since 0830AM :mrgreen: but dont saw Enzos and Pagani Zonda :cry:

Daryl Hannah was beautiful :wink:

[Z3uS]

Thanks m8, really good pics :D

[ARMAN]

Hehe cool, at 8.30 I belive first car came there. I came 9.30 :mrgreen: right when CGT was parking. According to pics from other sites Enzo was there but after 12.30 or so when I left :?

Some people was SO annoying sticking theyr cameras and even whole heads :!: in to the windows to take pics or see the dashboard, and in the small sports cars there is not much space and that shold piss off (or will)lots of them :lol:

[szumszer]

yeah, that is correct, that 288 GTO ain't real, it's a fake, it looks ok, but I prefer standard cars when it comes to exotics, 308 and 328 are good enough; otherwise it must have been a great event, thanks for the photos

[dingo]

@TT - what about a007apl? We have buch of italian JW members, or not?

He is Brazilian, so a bit too far away to get to Italy I think :wink: Its true though that we don't have many regular members from Italy - the home of the Supercar, what a shame :(

[Wutputt]

We are doing damn good with the tracking! Sadly I fear we don't have a JW nut in Italy to cover the event there :(
This means some JW nut from a country nearby has to travel to Italy to cover the event over there :P

I would like to, but all the checkpoints are really too far away from me

[ARMAN]

I cant belive we dont have members from Italy :| I thought if a007apl is a mod of lambo section, he would be probably italian :mrgreen:

So, who will be so kind and drive to Italy? :mrgreen:

EDIT: more Prague's pics not from me and sadly 800*600

[c0wb0y007]

Nice Work Arman 8) Some nice pictures you have shot there!
I'm fond of the picture that shows the yellow Porsche Turbo with the stickers "Nuts & Gumball3000" glued at the back of the car. Those words fit together :wink:

Like you have pointed it out yourself before; it is hard to make photos with so many people around. If the next European Gumball rally has a checkpoint in Prague again, you should be the gumball rally's private photographer 8) = all access card etc etc :wink:

Cheers

[yeckmohr]

Thanks to all of you for these great pics.
They did only a ride on the Autobahn in Germany,so we didn't see them.

[ARMAN]

:wink: Thanx guys, I would LOVE to join them but 10.000 just to drive with them :| too much if you ask me :mrgreen: ... oh and I forgot, I gotta have some car first :lol:

Next time I'll be more prepared :wink:

[saadie]

haha ... arman use the subway .... at night :lol: lol .. .

[ARMAN]

I drive a company car 8) But sometimes I DO take subway :D I am a MAN, I can make money myself :mrgreen: :wink:
