  • Hi guys, sorry to hear about the trouble your having, I was hoping everything would run smoothly for you after driving alongside you to the channel tunnel,
    (I was a passenger in the stickered up mercedes c-class) looking forward to seeing the video on the M20 from London, was some fun driving going on!!!
    Good luck for the rest of Gumball!

  • Hi,
    First of all the name of the city, you visited is ISTANBUL, not constantanopal.

    We are very pleased with see gumball 2007 in istanbul. I waited few hours in the Kempinski Palace but then I heard the sad news.

    I hope next year you will come to our beatiful city ISTANBUL.
    In ISTANBUL there are lots of Gumball Fans.
    The Kempisnki Palce and The Bagdat Street were very ready to your beatiful cars and Gumballers.
    Hope to see you in ISTANBUL again, but this time we want to see your cars too :)

  • I'm so sorry to hear all of this crap you guys have been dealing with the last couple of days. When it is your dream to participate in the gumball i can not even realise what you guys are going through right now. I hope you guys get lifts from other gumballers along the way so you can still experience the gumball! Try and make the best out of it! Greeting from Belgium (ps i feel sorry i'm from belgium :D the cops suck dick here anyway!)

  • still cant believe how anal t he cops are about the stupid front licence plate, i know how cars were getting into continental europe with handwritten "plates" before... its ridiculous... i think the police are trying to make the gumball as hard as possible.
