There are a number of exciting cars that will on display from 11am, including three Bugatti Veyron's, McLaren Mercedes SLR's, Porsche Carrera GT, Enzo Ferrari, Lamborghini Gallardo, Maserati Quattroporte as well as fans favourite Turkish Taxi, a Buick Hot Rod, the A-Team and a VW Golf R32 with “Herbie” wrap and many many more... The cars are to set off at 4pm with the last car set to leave at 6pm, so get down early to get the best view of these amazing cars.

If it's anything like last year then honestly its not worth going at all. Now if it was like 2 years ago then yes. The cars were all parked in the outdoor car park for everyone to go around and get up and close to. Last year sucked as they just lined them up behind barriers with no parade if you will.

I work in central London and pedal in every morning, as i rounded Pal Mal this morning to lock my trusty bike in thr Trafalgar Square car park i was greeted by some seriously exotic machinery, Konigseg, Lambo, etc, a Dodge A-team stylie truck in black all with adidas livery in gold, oh and a weird looking mock cop car that looked a bit like a skyline and sounded like a tornado jet with a wasp up its ars£ !

I,ll take my camera in tommorow and go for some stealth shots as there were several knuckle heads there covered in tattoos struggling to string a sentance together but looked more than capable of inflicting serious damage "not only on themselves but on others too" :roll:

i may need some help to load the pics as i,m not capable of doing this myself...........................

Nice pixs, I have a few more ... I was with the laser Van on the A20 Sidcup hospital bridge ... they were calling down the road on non UK cars .. The UK cars will get tickets if they are over the limit they had set.

I also met the most vile person next to the van ... a motor cyclist who seem to know the laser van operator. He just HATED ALL car drivers ... I hope I never meet him on the road ..... what came out of his mouth was disgusting ... a danger to himself and all

I was about 2 miles down the road from you in the BP/McDonalds carpark before the swanley brands hatch exit. Had a good view of them coming down the hill then open the taps as it goes into 3 lanes!! There were a few other nice Audis parked up in the car park too.

I don't know what's more impressive, the event/cars/birds or how long it must have taken you to upload all those pics...

Message sent to you follows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Issued by Maximillion Cooper on behalf of The Gumball 3000 Rally - 21.30 / 03 May 2007

Following our earlier release reporting yesterday’s accident - As a sign of respect we have decided that this year's Gumball 3000 Rally will not travel any further and will end in Bratislava this evening, May 3rd 2007.

As the organisers of the rally we feel that it should be stopped as a mark of respect to Vladimir Cepulyoski who died today after an accident involving one the participating drivers.

We are very saddened by what has happened and feel that it would be wrong to continue. On behalf of Gumball 3000, we once again extend our deepest sympathies to his family and we are doing everything we can for them.

This is the first time anything like this has happened in 9 years of travelling through over 40 countries with 1000's of drivers and it is with deep regret that I make this announcement.

Maximillion Cooper
Founder & CEO
The Gumball 3000 Group
