Sooooooooo sick that he is going to be in the Gumball this year. Can anyone else believe that he is entering with such a sick LP670-SV? Probably going to be top 5 nicest cars there.. Anyone else want to talk about this part of the blog instead?

"JOSS might be over but with Gumball approaching fast so I have a lot of things to deal with in order to get the car to London, get it insured and flewn back to Europe when its over, so I have to get going!"


Its going to be sooooo sick seeing him use this in the Gumball.

No way, he's keeping that on??? Suppose it's not like he's track racing with it. Plus he needs somewhere to keep his shit! His VBlogs for this will be sweet!

I understand the rocket box for the ski season, but I seriously hope he takes that thing off for then Rally.  I wouldn't want to be driving super fast with that thing on the roof.  It would totally screw with the performance and handling at high speeds.

The gumball stop that i watched had cars that were much more expensive with crazy arabians blasting techno while driving them but that lambo has the sickest look. it's like a stealth fighter jet

What cars did you see that were better than this? I can only think of a handful of cars that i have seen from Gumball rally videos that cost more than a new $500,000 670-SV (Veyron, Enzo)

i dont think he buys them, or at least doesnt pay full price, he's on the lambo team or something

but more importantly why he feels the need to drive a fucking lambo to the ski hill...it's a supreme douchebag move imo

w/e my complaints aren't warranted, i'm sure if i had a lambo i'd drive it around a ski town while i wore the questionably gay clothing i designed myself

a 3000 mile international "race" on public roads with exotic super cars that involves insane speed and usually lots of police/speeding tickets and sometimes confiscation of vehicles

more or less.

i don't think sanctioning is even an option, considering 90% of the gumball rally's happenings are considered illegal.

there's a ton of stuff of youtube, vimeo, ect.

just throw in a google search and you'll get a ton of video and blog responses.

sometimes, I wish I had hundreds of thousands of dollars of disposable income...

I was reading about the 2009 gumball 3000,

"The 2009 Gumball officially partnered with the Wounded Warrior Project, a non-profit organization benefiting and raising awareness for the needs of severely injured United States Service men and women. Wounded Warrior Project representatives participated in the rally and were present throughout."

Why the hell does Jon Olsson have so much money? I always hear about him like putting on competitions and having a lambo and all this shit...?

My buddy's a photographer for the Toronto Star, and he and I are "chasing the rally" when they come from Montreal through Toronto to NYC. Pretty much, I drive, he takes pictures out the windows/sunroof. We wait on the shoulder of the highway, and then pick up our shit n go when they pass through. The best part is that all the cops will be looking for exotic supercars ripping down the road... not an old volvo with a roof rack haha

at 1 min and 2 min you see a white mitsubishi gt3000- thats his car back in the day- it had 645 hp and was basically insane- they place 13th out everyone- my two uncles raced it- since then the one with the koeniegsiegg sold his business for a shitload of cash and basically invests and races cars-
