Great pics, clicked all the way through. Wishing I'd gone, been before but this year didn't remember until it was too late.

So.. ultimate Gumball car?

Loving the Lambo with the roof box.. awesome idea.

Otherwise, if there's a ratio of winnability / comfort, that Roller looks to have a good shout - and probs also the GTR.
 
Very nice mate :thumbsup: Those cars through those streets, must have sounded awesome!

Would have gone for that... and damn it, I was in London on Saturday too :x

Lambos look great. Love the RR Arab stereotype. But my favourite, old skool choice, a Ferrari 246 Dino in the mix! (I think it's the 246)

Speaking of Gumball, if you have a R1 DVD player get this - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074597/ - somewhat unsophisticated production, but that does mean you get the full affect of the Daytona and Cobra engines :)
 
the lambo was the new murci SV ! It was a complete beast and was also my fave gumball car on the day, it belonged to freestyle skier Jon Olsson (hence the compartment for ski's) i heard him say that it was attached with a strap! imagine the lift on that at high speed!

it sounded fantastic, the new ferrari 458 italia also sounded very good !

The 458 looks amazing - although not seen one in real life yet.

I missed this one in the slide show, but a real favourite (if a dreadful car for this sort of trip!)

To my mind, Ferrari haven't even come close with the ultra light stuff since. Despite any stats to say otherwise.
 
There's an M5 Touring behind that Lambo too.. that'd be another good Gumball car...
 
I would choose BMW 535d consume around half as much as a lambo or a ferrari and stil capable of 155+ mph, and has an 80 liter tank.
I would say that you could win the "rally" with it.
