Now, who's the real Gumball King?

Hey guys,

After having followed most of the Gumball-related threads, I have a little question.

Several Gumball-participants crown themselves as the gumball .
I wonder who really is, who arrived first?
And who's the one to look out for in next year's Gumball3000 edition?

( Lonman!!!)

Re: Now, who's the real Gumball King?

If only this post would have been 24 hours ago...

I know a couple of people who have met Rob and have said he's a good bloke and talented driver, so my money would be on him...

(enough of an ego boost for you Rob?! )

Re: Now, who's the real Gumball King?

I remember Mr Shmitz stating he is planning on retiring from the Gumball rally, as there is no competition for him, winning edition after edition.

The Gumball (Cannonball and Players Run) king has to Rob not only does he drives fast but he is also very talented and he doesn't brag about it.

Cheers Lonman
