Not sure about Gumball, judging by the 'modified' vdubs Glad I missed it

Edited by Zingari on Sunday 28th September 22:40

I thought Gumball was meant to be Zonda's, Veyron's and other hyper cars going across the globe on private jets, yatchs and drinking expensive champagne in the most exclusive places... not a VW golf in an asda carpark, with cans of red bull

Max Cooper is expanding the marketing to meet ups at different places, those who attend are various, and not necessarily owners of rare automobiles.

Pair of De Lorean's heading south on the M3 near junction 3 yesterday afternoon.
One original steel, the other burgundy.

I'm guessing that C63 was suffering from cold tyres and a lack of driver ability. Imagine binning it in front of that many people

Given the number of laps of the roundabout he'd done, the car was suffering only from a prick driving it. As for "Lord" Aleem, just another idea with a far lower station.

I'm sure/hope someone got the registration or something to identify the car before it left and plates/tax disc removed?

It's not a trademark.

Who is "Lord Aleem", I assume he is self named?

self titled lord, (against the law to use a title?) young rude boi, family suspected of heroin trafficing

father runs rental company of cars apparantly no finance,

not to launder money, but to rent to asian rude bois for weddings

so are we reading between the lines here that he's borrowed this car and maybe isn't permitted to drive, hence removal of identifying marks immediately after the crash?

more likely rented it to someone who has used their cousin whos over 25 to get insurance and shouldnt be driving.

Glad I missed this Gumball meet. Too much money, not enough brains. Anyone who thinks it's a good idea to act like that with crowds of people around needs their head checking.

You don't need much money to buy a C63. Merc were financing them new a year ago for 599 a month with £5k down. There was very little in the way of exotica there.

I understand it's all relative but just idly throwing 5k down and then paying 599 a month before heavy petrol costs, insurance and tyres seems a lot to me.

I am poor though tbf.

Yeah, pretty much what I thought, Pistonheads warped sense of money showing again.

(but I am also poor )

It's not exactly chump change but you don't need a huge income to support such a purchase if you really want it and are prepared to make sacrifices elsewhere.

As promised - pics retrieved from my daughter's iPod


Not sure it is for me but it sounded awesome and looked like a mean bruiser of a car.

yes but if maybe you are the sort of person who doesn't drink, or maybe you live with your Mum and Dad. I am sure there were plenty of people like that at the meet.
