So I think many Gumballers won't even make it through that country.

TT, that girl in your avantar is : habba habbe gimme some

I would like to know where you've got that from Me wanna watch her move !!

Zippo, you go in the DL/UL club section and you will find out where I got that gif from

As for our police, I remember the Gumball actually passes through it already in the past so why not the Cannonball afterall, it's not a race

And of course, still no answer... I suppose I will camp on the highway for a couple of days in september

Thanks dani for the infos

And yes indeed Spanish police wasn't really easy this year here you just receive an hyper-high fine (somebody that was caught doing some 120 (or 140) km/h in a 80 zone got a 18'000 USD fine some months ago.. his lawyer, managed to make it drop at some thousands only, but I doubt any gumballer would end up in prison

I have made plans to be at the start!! So you can expect some pics!!

[TT]

jon PRETTY PLEASE! if you will really be there, could you ask them if they will touch Switzerland and if yes where they will pass and if they will stop somewhere? if you can find out, will it be possible to tel me know asap so I have some 24 hours to plan my hunt?

[jon_s]

I shall do my best!!

[TT]

Thank you jon, will keep my fingers crossed

Edit: thanks to Darkel I fear I know they won't touch Switzerland LOL.. the 4 countries are probably England, France, Italy and Monaco...

[jon_s]

TT, might sound daft, but can you send me a PM a few days before?? I have it in my diary but that means bugger all when work gets hetic!

[TT]

By the way...ive got some questions to ask about the Gumball...for instance, i dont understand how the gumballers were able to pass through france, without relevant problems, once every french authorities knew when they were going to pass through the country, and which road they were going to use to get through. In addition, the number of radars in french motorways is very high indeed, and the fines very high as well regardless the driver is a Formula 1 driver(ask Juan Pablo Montoya or Jean Alesi)

And im not able to understand either if there is a plan to get through France and Switzerland once the traffic low in the swiss country is even more strict, unless the radar detectors are very effective, or any autority is accompliced with them...Anyway....any clue or opinion of some member will be welcome for me...

Is it there where they proportion your ticket to your yearly earnings? (Read about it in the guiness book) If so, most of the gumballers are quite wealthy, so their tickets would be tremendous!

Hey cool, I'm dying for the Gumball 2004 DVD!

They should have Gumball vs Cannon Ball in a rally style event with points and stuff- all in good natured cop dodging of course.
