I was at the starting line today near The Plaza Hotel watching some Gumball participants take off in their exotic cars. There are some Coopers in the race as well. Some of you may find it very interesting that one of them is part of the Playboy convoy

RHD MINI

US MINI

Playboy MINI

"goodbye, we'll miss you too!"

Just another exotic

Good one Karman.

Suprised Playboy didn't get the race number on the side of the BRG Cooper......

I note theres a Glovebox in the Playboy Cooper as well, not that the rest of you are looking at the MINI of course

Cheers mate

From gumball127.com:

"Stars and Stripes Corvette engine blows up, engine gets stripped and rebuilt over night to rejoin the race on following day
Xbox Mini gets chased by helicopter - who turn out to be press, coverage of chase went live on national USA TV @ 10pm today.
Ferrari is caught making land speed record of 184MPH in state of New Mexico.
State Troopers are awaiting eagerly around hotel where Gumballers are staying the night.
Temperature hit 36 degrees C extremely hot."

Did anyone managed to record that? Can you please share it?? I really want to see the Mini being chased.

Mini FAME!!!!

Surprisingly, there were no Cooper S's in the event

Perhaps next year!
