Gumball stopped after Macedonian man killed in accident with Gumballer in Teckart 911.


A 997 Turbo according to the report.

Well, a 997 is a model of 911. But still, feel free to avoid the point of the thread simply to attempt to start an argument :-)

Welcome to Usenet, newbie.

Flobbadob.

When did the Gumball Rally become illegal or a road race? Granted some of the participants choose to drive like idiots but the Gumball itself isn't a race or illegal.

They are always very carful not to call it a race heh. But anyone who's watched any of the footage will know this was always going to happen. It's amazing that it hasn't happened before, and that there haven't been more deaths really. Some of the original petrolhead drivers are probably very talented, but everyone knows a lot of the entrants are just rich people in cars with waaaaaaaaaay more talent than them, going far beyond their abilities - hence every (two or was it three?) Carrera GT entered this year was written off, along with a Ford GT. S'a shame really, these aren't exactly common cars :-)

Isn't it a reliability trial? Reaching checkpoints before a cutoff point?

Maybe you should try toothpaste.

The race is illegal, he crashed his car, killed a person and heavily injured somebody else. On top of that he fled. The driver is in deeper s*it than the heap you live in.

Yeah, why live in a s*it heap when you could live in Belgium ? :)

Actually it is a race. Not all races are about who finishes first. Time trials are such an event.

Point out again what makes it illegal?

Belfast or Belgium? Hmm tough choice, still, at least neither of them is Wales. (c:

The s*it hole I live in? what colour is your drinking water?

Which race?

Bullshit.

You wer ethere, were you?

He may even be in deeper s*it than the s*it you talk. But if he is, it's an amazing feat.

In what way is it a race then? Why don't the police arrest every participant as soon as it starts if it's a race?
