| Team-BHP Support   | The Gumball 3000 Rally is back. 3000 miles with Ferrari Modenas, Porsche GT3's, 'Vettes, BMW M5's and Merc SL55's alike. For those who arent aware, this race was held last year from NY to LA through public roads. Needless to say, with supercars being driven aggressively by their enthusiastic owners - Cops, illegal racing and accidents were very much a part of the equation. Butttttttttttttttt for the petrol-head what better a sight than to see hundreds of supercars racing head to head on your local freeway? Check out www.gumball2004.com for more details GTO These are just a sample of the cars that have already registered and racing in the currently held Gumball 2004.          |

| I remember some guy on this forum suggested something on these lines, for team-bhp event, with 'OUR OWN' Supercars..  May be till the 'much talked about' Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore. Anyway, yes Gumball 3000 is really an awesome event, should watch cannonball run 1 & 2 with major superstars in supercars.. if ur not aware of this .. |

Man, i'm sure ur body will feel as if its being given a shock treatment. U won't be dead no more!!! U'll be electrified, thundered, etc, etc back to life!!(that's the idea isn't it!). Just think.. a Lambo engine 'music'(sound)!!! Wow!! I was just thinking that if the Lambo guys launched a cassette/CD containing all the Lambo engine sounds (especially the accelaration) it would be topping the charts and sales all over the world!! Picture this, u are in ur car at a traffic light, u will be the first to gt off the signal and the road is empty, u put in the tape/CD and play the acceleration 'SONG' the moment the lights turns green, instinctively even my grandmother would nail the accelarator!! U may not own one but u would definitely feel like driving one in ur sweet old car!! | |

| Few more Pics from this years Gumball - The feature of the event was a guy who owns these three Ferraris.. You can call him lucky - I'll plainly call him "GOD". 3 Yellow Ferraris with Black Rims! I am sure ya'll must've heard it, if not.. Here ya go! 550 Barchetta with 600 BHP  F50 with 800 BHP  Enzo with 900 BHP (only this took part in the event and look what it did, below) :  366 KMPH (thats a lot of topspeed, considering the downforce it applies)  I am sorry to say this but this is Bad @$$ Racing at its F#*%in' Best...  All these Ferraris are tuned by JMB Racing. Also check this Link out : Click Here Quote:
)Will try to post some pics from Top Marques Monaco Auto-Show (held last month) later, worth a watch too.. (if someone has the pics, please post up) | |
