  • GUMBALL CANCELLED.


    Man ran down two locals in a GOLF VW, they both died --- the wife died ten mins before her husbands funeral, he died in transit to the hospital.

    The Gumballers who crashed, got into another BMW and RAN for the border --- Thankfully, the authorties caught up with them. They are in court now. AND the Gumball people tried to cover this up! All the sponsors have pulled there websites like Adidas has...


    BloodSport.


    Sorry to tell ya that they are starting, ANTI-GUMBALL NOW in the UK.

    Best of Luck and Have a great time in the BAY, this was one of the worst GUMBALL RALLIES TO DATE... Tons of Crashes, it could have only ended like thiat...

    GOD BLESS

  • David Luhman you are uninformed.
    think you should wait until this is all a bit clearer before jumping on the bandwagon and taking the route of moral high ground and bashing the driver/gumball.
    unless you know actual events, you don't have a place to accuse the driver of anything.

  • Just read your blogs and i am out of breath. A higher
    force was with you all the way.Happy that you are OK.
    Your experience would be envied by most. The good
    and the not so good. I am proud of what you are
    trying to accomplish. When you are in L.A. come visit
    us for a scrumptious home cooked meal and a bottle
    of great wine. Let me know your favorite. Be safe.
