 Breaking news from Team Polizei: many cars have broken down |
 |
Thanks again to Yourk (member of M5board.com), he reports from Team Polizei:
OFFICAL POLIZEI GUMBALL UPDATE - #9
Wednesday, 3 May 2006
05:42:21 (a.m.) GMT
The Gumball3000 has reached the halfway point in 2006.
Unofficial Overall Checkpoint Leaders for 2006 Gumball Rally:
1st: Team Polizei
2nd: Team NSX
3rd: Team Ant&Pete
These overall leaders have consistently been the first three to arrive at nearly every checkpoint this year.
Team Polizei also would like to announce that Team NSX should receive the “Virgin Gumballer Award” for being one of the hardest driving and most enthusiastic Teams of this year’s Rally
Stories and comments from Alex Roy and Michael Ross.
Three of the McLaren SLRs have broken down, all with the same alternator problem. Team Polizei would like to point out that only one SLR has ever finished a Gumball. Alex and Michael are disappointed in the performance of the cars; they aren’t posing a big enough threat to the VW built Polizei Bentley!
The orange Ultima GTR has broken down.
The Bentley air suspension proved highly valuable while traveling over train tracks and hard shoulders.
The Serbian Police and fans were amazing. Fans lined the roads for miles and even helped with a few Gumballers who needed directions. Team Polizei was lucky enough to get such directions through the streets of Belgrade from a fan. This fan though got a bit too excited as he plowed into another car trying to lead the Bentley GT down a side street. Moments later, the car the helpful fan hit while trying to lead Team Polizei, got hit by a bus. The accidents were very minor and there were no injuries.
The huge CB radio antenna on the white Lamborghini Murcielago ripped off at 200mph somewhere in Serbia. The antenna barely missed a few cars which were following close behind.
The Team Polizei Bentley GT was almost hit by a small airplane on the main highway leading to Belgrade. The small aircraft was no more then 20 feet above the highway as it flew by and its passengers took photos.
It has also come to Team Polizei’s attention that many of the European Gumballers are ill equipped for the American leg of this year’s Gumball. Team Polizei has been inundated with questions by non-American drivers over how the police will handle speeding fines. Such news can only mean one thing: The State Police will fill their quota for the month all in one day in such states as Utah, Nevada, and California.
The drivers have reached Thailand and are waiting for their cars to arrive. Most of them are using this time to rest while others continue to party.

etapa asiatica
2 lamborghini murcielago praf ( unul a rupt un copac )
Polizei GT - baia de ulei sparta din cauza ramasitelor de pe strada
Zvonuri ar fi ca si un SLR s-ar fi stricat inca o data .
Ahhh . accidentele nu au avut victime . problema e ca in aceasta etapa au fost la start mai putin de 50 masini . pana acum se contureaza cel mai prost gumball de la lansare .
PS : vreau si eu gumball 2003 , cel care e online am vazut ca fisierul are numele celui din 2002 .

OFFICAL POLIZEI GUMBALL UPDATE - #12
Thursday, 4 May 2006
14:54:15 / 2:54:15 p.m. (G.M.T.)
It is now confirmed that the purple Lamborghini involved in the accident in Thailand was of the “Flash” Team. The white Murcielago involved was able to continue the rally with its damage. On the other hand, the purple Murcielago Roadster looks to be totaled after hitting a tree at a high rate of speed. Luckily their were no injuries.
Running in the middle of the pack as previously planned, Team Polizei received damage to their Bentley after running over debris in the roadway from the Lamborghini accident. The Bentley began to immediately leak oil so Ross&Roy made the decision to pull over. The Team remained on the side of the road for two hours examining the extent of the damage. It was decided that the Team would continue at a “limp” speed.
In order to take advantage of their opportunity to drive freely in Thailand, Ross&Roy decided to take a side trip on their way up to Bangkok. Team Polizei made an unexpected stop to the Former Socialist Republic of Burma. Ross and Roy made it to the border where they were greeted by military soldiers who were confused to see a Bentley Police car. Ross and Roy, acting as representatives of Gumball, make the acquaintance of the border crossing agents. They spoke for a few minutes, took some pictures, handing out Team Polizei hats and shirts, and then stole some military border documents to prove their story. Continuing at a very slow pace to Bangkok, Team Polizei was astonished to find out they made it to the final checkpoint in Thailand in 18th place, even with their little side adventure. The Bentley is currently receiving repairs from Bentley of Bangkok mechanics.
Team Polizei would also like to congratulate the stage winner today, Team COT7ON. Alex wanted to also mention that this team deserves a lot of credit for their amazing driving.
Also, despite the breakdown and visit to a Socialist Republic, Team Polizei is proud to announce that they are still the point leaders in terms of arrival order at checkpoints. Ross&Roy invite any team who started in London and will complete the rally in Los Angeles, to try beat Team Polizei in the final, more difficult U.S. Stage.
Eu nu as zice ca e chiar cel mai prost gumball de la lansare, Daca vrei Gumball 3000 editia din 2003 mai ai putin de asteptat pt. ca acest site nu se ocupa cu pirateria, Editia din 2003 o veti gasi pe site, Atentie! numai dupa ce va aparea editia din acest an, astfel nu voi avea probleme.Cel mai probabil O vei putea descarca pana in august pana atunci viziteaza site-ul in continuare!
P.S:Poti gasi pe site filmulete din editia din acest an.

Urmatoarea editie va avea loc anul viitor.
Romania nu au participat pana acum, daca vrei sa participi ai nevoie de ceva bani, eu te-as sfatui sa-ti cauti un sponsor sau mai multi
Anul acesta raliul a trecut si prin apropierea Romaniei.
In fiecare an se trage la sorti o cursa din 8, de mentionat ar fi ca pt cursa din acest an un traseu cuprindea si Romania.
Daca mai ai intrebari nu ezita sa le pui!

Sunt cam putini membrii pt. ca siteul a aparut in urma cu doar 2 luni, l-am promovat si eu cat am putut, dar se pare ca nu e prea mult lume din Romania, interesata de acest eveniment, sa speram ca pe viitor sa avem cat mai multi membrii.
Printr-o scurta traducere a ceea ce scrie pe acel site eu am inteles asa: www.gumball-3000.com si-a inchis portile din cauza presiunilor facute de Gumball 3000(siteul oficial www.gumball3000.com) si tot odata pt ca www.gumball-3000.com nu vrea sa mai faca publicitate acestui eveniment din cauza ca acestia(site-ul oficial) au uitat de spiritul Gumball si vor doar sa profite de pe urma acestui eveniment(adica sa se imbogateasca); dupa cum ai vazut si pe pagina asta http://www.gumball3000.ro/ a aparut o intreaga linie de imbracaminte, muzica si filme in urma acestui raliu, mai multe detalii nu iti pot da pt ca nu stiu...
Traseul din acest an: AROUND THE WORLD IN 8 DAYS... 2006 GUMBALL 3000 RALLY•LONDON•BRUSSELS VIENNA•BUDAPEST•PHUKET•BANGKOK•SALT LAKE CITY•LAS VEGAS•LOS ANGELES
Taxa:entrance fee is £40,000 (which includes everything except petrol and
speeding fines for 2 people)
