2008 Gumball 3000 Rally: San Francisco Start

2008 Gumball 3000 Rally: San Francisco Start
videoguy was on hand as this year's Gumball 3000 Rally rolled into San Francisco.

The starting point of this $120,000 10-day adventure was the Fairmont Hotel, with destinations as varied as Las Vegas and North Korea!

There are definitely some impressive cars to watch out for: a couple of F430 Spyders, a totally sick-looking, flat black Ford GT, a Lotus Exige, a yellow Z06 'taxi'
that manages to pick up a hot blond (and get her to take her top off for the cameras), plus more 911 Turbos than you can shake a stick at, including our favorite being driven by some dickhead who's yet to learn the art of moving off in 1st gear. It was a really slight incline though...

Entry into 2008 Gumball 3000: $120,000
Porsche 911 Turbo: $140,000
Ability to pull away without stalling: Priceless

Check out the slick cars (and the bad driving) at the start of this year's 2008 Gumball 3000 Rally

MHT Forged Wheels...plus Tiffany and Jennifer

MHT Forged Wheels...plus Tiffany and Jennifer
Icon Media has been having another tough day at the office. We thought we had it bad but some guys just have no luck at all...

A sleek white studio, two bright red sportscars and two leggy models pouting and posing in sleek black shorts and little black tops, with just enough bits on show that you don't totally forget to check out the rims.

Boy, they're gonna need to lie down after such a taxing shoot for MHT Forged Wheels with Tiffany and Jennifer.

If you'd rather have basically nothing left to the imagination, check out the Nopi Bikini Contest

Hennessey Viper Spins Out of Control!!

Ride along as VRalexander takes us to Speed Channel's Fastest Streetcar Shootout 2008.

Watch what happens when Claus Ettensberger of CEC Wheels takes his TechArt 997 GT Street against Hennessey's Venom 1000. Shot at Los Alamitos Army Airfield just South of Los Angeles, there's nothing but an open airfield and two of the world's fastest supercars ready to battle.


Both cars boast impressive stats with the TechArt GT Street producing 614 HP and the Hennessey Venom with 1200 HP.
