The infamous Gumball 3000 Rally (London) founded my Maximillion Cooper in 1999 has jump started this year from a pause in 2007 when the event (London-based) was canceled due to a mid-run accident that resulted in two fatalities. Although the rally is not an actual race, you do get some “spirited” driving. After-all, the exotic and luxury vehicles that enter into the 3,000 mile rally are not exactly “slow” vehicles.

The Gumball 3000 is a legend in itself. Started in Europe during the year of 1999, the Gumball 3000 incorporates over 100 cars and participants in a 3000 mile long cross-country journey. Since then, the Gumball 3000 has extended beyond its overseas roots to the U.S. starting in 2002. Some of the participants this year included many well-known stars from David “The Hoff” Hasselhoff, MTV’s Dirty Sanchez and Tony Hawk to Dave Mirra, the Cuban Brothers and Bam Margera. The featured cars in the rally ranged from Bugatti Veyrons, Lamborghini’s, Porsche’s, BMW’s and lowriders to classic American muscle cars. Many of the racers documented their progress on various blogs over the internet this year from the start in Los Angeles, CA to the finish line in Miami, FL. Altogether, the Gumball 3000 is an 8-day road trip that lives up to its expectation of being stylish and adrenaline-filled adventure across America.
