Two 2004 Lightnings from England take part in the 2005 Gumball Rally.
Courtney and Gardner whoever that may be.
There is not much to see right now, no pics and videos as of yet but you may check their website out.
Check the sitemap.

I actually saw one Lightning in the 6 oclock news at the start in London.

Belgian police set a speedtrap took 21 sportcars from the road and gave many a speeding ticket.
Some were driving over 200 km per hour where only 100 is allowed.

"120 of the worlds most amazing cars, notorious celebrities and eccentric characters will set off from Waterloo Place in Central London, where British F1 driver Jenson Button will waive the start flag before they're off on an amazing 3000 mile route through Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Sicily, and Rome, crossing the finishing line on the evening of Friday 20th in Monte Carlo's Casino Square!"

2005 Gumball Rally Europe

 

Would LOVE to do that in the States!!!!! I believe the entry fee is some BIG $$$ though. -Mat-

 

WOO HOO
GO LIGHTNING'S GO!! WOO WOO WOO WOO

The entry fee for the Event is £10,000 (Ten Thousand Pounds Sterling) which is based on two (2) people per car.

How much is Ten Thousand Pounds Sterling ???
Ah WTF I'll just put it on the CC's anyway, hehehehehe

I would love to do something like that

 

That's $18500.

Ooohhhh, there may be only 1 Lightning then.
2 people in 1 2004 Lightning
2 Lightnings were listed though.

 

HOLY THATS A LOT OF MONEY BATMAN
But the memories would be PRICELESS

 

there was one that was to happen here in the us and canada.but the promoter said that if it did not work out all entrants would lose their entry fee[8k]so I don't think there are to many signed up.the next best thi8ng is to do the Open road thing that I do.try running 150 for 20 minutes and making turns while doing it.Quite the challenge.STan

 

Only one Lightnig as far as i saw

a 1999 one with reg M500 BHP

 

Here is the start.

SRT-10



There was another black Ram but pretty sure it wasnt an SRT

 

That's funny, it was listed as a 2004 L on page 7 here:
http://www.gumball3000.com/grid.pdf

BTW: the gridlist shows a regular cab styleside 4x4 for the #103 SVT Lightning.

 

That would be a 2000L the reverse lights are on top and the mirror caps are painted. In 99 the mirror caps werent painted and the reverse lights were in the center of the tail lights

 

500bhp with the stock exhaust?

Or is that just a really crappy looking Magnaflow or something..

 

Dont know if it was 500bhp, i doubt it but the plate was boasting at something.

 

This would be Mr. Dave Gourtney
