Default 2004 Gumball 3000 question... any gumballer around? ;-)

Well, of course everybody already know the next Gumball will have its start in Paris on May 4th and will end in Cannes on May 10th.. blasting through France and Spain, crossing the sea to be for the first time in Africa (Morocco)...

Paris beeing just 500 km from here and easyget beeing so cheap, I could maybe attend at least the starting day to smeel for the first time the Gumball with my own nose

I tried to find out but no damn idea where the cars will be displayed (if they will) and where is the starting point...

Of course if somebody will take part he would be able to answer this question, but maybe somebody else read it somewhere or maybe some French user is already aware of that

Ah, of course I know I could just call Paris.. of course there should be some generic info phone number and probably they are already aware about that.. but hell.. I'm lazy

I will take pics of course.. not sure for vids since at the moment I don't have a video camera and don't plan to buy one

As for the road trip.. yes it's an idea... around 550 km... but it will take to much time and I'd like to go and come back the same day.. that's why I choosed the plane and BTW to find a car park near the start of the race would be impossible.. so pretty hard to be at the start to see the cars, then run to find my car and enter the highway to shoot some material there too...

I hope to be wealthy one day and take my manly car over there and race. I dream of mine...
