did you hear about the 2 guys, one English, one French, who were arrested in Madison Co.? They were part of the Gumball Rally that is a 5 day race from San Francisco to Miami. One guy was driving a 2003 Porsche w/ Nevada plates and the other guy was driving a 2003 Koenisegg(?) w/ UK plates. They were clocked by FHP doing 105.



As most N. Floridians know, when you get to Madison County, SLOW..

THE F%@*..DOWN!! They take their speed limit seriously there.

yea but gumballers have a love hate relationship with the police. sometimes the cop will take a pic sometimes the cop will take em to jail lol tough. i was close to going this year but last min planning we couldnt get the car to SF in time. i was bummed for a while but i hear next years will be in the US again.
