Now that the Evo magazine article I wrote on the Gumball 3000 Rally has made it to the other side of the Pond, I've just published the first part of my full-length Gumball write-up on Auto-Journals.com.
For those of you who didn't know, I was lucky enough to have been invited to do the event in a highly tuned R35 GT-R.
Of specific interest to some of you on here might be the full list of mods Jon Silva made to his amazing GT-R:
