I am loving the CLK DTM! What is the CLK conv? Some bodykitted clk?

Also, Entry is 28,000 sterling. 56,000 dollars, per car.

Chris, what is the speed in that dash shot?

 

And a few more from Chris...

 

i normally could not confirm or deny that that was a shaky 158...the autobahn has no speed limit.

since i last posted we sat at the airport and in the plane in Germany for about 4hrs. that was after the road block...so still no sleep. if you were brave/dumb enough to goto sleep on the plane to turkey, and no one screwd with ya, you could have got about 3hrs sleep.

apon arrival in turkey, we find out German police sent a letter to every country we were going through asking them to ban the gumball.

after 6 more hours, and 20 cases of beer, in the terminal because they really did not want us in their country, they let us goto our hotel...but denyed our cars!

they were supposed to go on to Athens and be waiting for us. well they landed at 1am Greece time and it turns out today is a national holiday and customs is not open. so they will START on customs for 100 foreign cars of which no one applied for because they were supposed to be driven through Greece, not imported!

most everyones reg paper work are in cars we can not get near! so if anyone can help, please pm me immediately.

otherwise i hope this does not turn into the planeball 3000!

oh yeah, we were woke up this morn about 8 am and rushed onto a boat and snuck off to a secret bus to get to the airport due to riots in the streets near the hotel!

 

WOW. This Gumball is turning into a cluster-f*ck.

Will there be anything 'official' after all this?

 

 

wow, even though there's been some hiccups caused by foreign authorities, it sure seems like an awesome race, and part of navigating all the political crap is part of the fun right? Talk about never knowing what's gonna happen next! Keep on with the updates, I love the play by play! That Cargo Transporter airplane is soooo cool, I'd want to just sit behind the wheel of my car in that thing.

 

anyone else notice PIMP MY RIDE.. Xibit.. in the background of the road block pics?

 

yup I did son... was he in the POLIZEI CAR? busted or just chillin?

 

Here is another one for you guys..

I was standing on the best place of the start line..

 

Sick! One day...one day..
