:: Gumball Rally 2008 in SF pt 1 ::
Bam! its been 5 years since the Gumball 3000 rally kicked off in SF — last time I missed it, so I was not snoozin’ this time. Tonight at the Fairmont the event was starting to slowly unfold. Go here for tomorrow’s coverage of the starting day of Gumball 3000 2008
chrome dipped Gallardo
getting out of the Gumpert Apollo. This car has top speeds of 224 mph, and 0-60 in 3 seconds.
This is THE original KITT from the classic 80’s TV show. Apparently the Hoff purchased it a long time ago. Seeing that he is participating in the rally this year (albeit only from SF > LA) he decided to polish it up, and bust it outta the garage. I hear that a few BMX guys are pinch driving for him after he stays behind in LA. rough life.
Frawggy.. comin’ up clean as #### in front of the Fairmont (special spotlight on Frawggy coming soon)
Ferrari F430 Scuderia .. shark styles. imagine seeing that coming up in your rear view mirror.
Gumpert. Only 1 in the country.
RR Phantom Drophead kickin it large. On the first day, of a previous Gumball 3000 rally, the owner of this Phantom crashed another identical model. So…. he turned around and promptly purchased a replacement, had her decals slapped on, and re-entered the race. ridiculous.
this is as close as I could get to the Hoff, cus you know, don’t mess with the Hoff.. berDerp!
XJ220 Jag
Puma is a big sponsor this year, as well as Nixon, Monster drink, Spy Optics and more. If you are wondering about the decals, they must be present on the car at all times during the rally. No trying to disguise yourself from the rest of the group.

Ridiculous pics. that XJ220 is nuts, and that’s not a 360 Modena its an F430. Looks badass with those shark teeth.
