Pink rims look hot!!!

wooow.... the white is soooooo hot

i love the pink rims too.

who will be piloting them during the rally? I assume a pro driver and DC-sponsored skater?

Looks to me like Ken Block - he's competing this year in Rally America events in a GrpN STi.

Good looking car!

I saw that car tonight at PIR, as well as some other subaru's. The rally wagon that the Jamie Subie Gal drives was there and we did our best to get some pics of all the cars. We didn't have a tripod so the pics we did take from an absolute still were on the ground.

Bad @$$$

Its asking for a password now?

That is so sick!!

Yeah asking for a password...WTH?

-mykr.

Bloody hell! I should have saved those pics.

Rob Dyrdek and Big Black, Ken Block and his wife, Lucy, and Damon Way and his wife, Suzy are the three teams. The race starts in London on May 14th..

can you do me a favor and send them to me? Id really appreciate it.

ill pm you with my email in case you want to :D

That paintjob is awesome.

they even have v-limited lips!

those things are sweet. Its funny how that WRB and orange one looks good and that one kid with his blue and orange wrx looks so terrible.

props to DC. I am gonna get some driving shoes from them:)

Ben

DC's ruled a long time ago... I cant beleive they did such a cool thing with the STi's...

Im going to go dig up my crusty old DC's now :D
Hell I might even go buy a pair that was made in this century! :lol:

~v6

yeah, the blue and orange one looks terrible!

Who prepared these cars?

props to DC. I am gonna get some driving shoes from them:)


Do they sell driving shoes? link?

I bet VTcar did the mods on the cars since Ken & Travis have ties w/Lance and the VT boys.

I love the colour schemes but they're a bit conspicuous (sp?) on the road. :lol:

Hopefully they'll have a good video of the Gumball w/footie from those cars. :D

-mykr.

I was figuring by the paint job. So they are going to ship those over to London?


Wow, that would be soooo much fun!

word has it that ken block , rob dyrdek and damon way are the drivers. i was also told that they might be for sale after the race.


....guess i should have read all of the post ALL THE WAY THROUGH! i am such a noob!!!

I would like them too if someone can pass 'em my way (or an alternate hosting site).

Am I the only one who thinks Gumball is pathetic?

Yep.

It looks pretty exciting to me.

I only like the white one. The others are a little too much.

But, mod wise they look good. :D

Paint jobs are horribe. I think the more money you have, the worst your taste gets. :p

Am I the only one who thinks Gumball is pathetic?
If Best Motoring is car porn, the Gumball rallys are asshat porn.

Seems like mostly rich twits with Ferraris weaving through traffic at triple digits. I'd love to be rich and stupid, but not stupid like that.

john

The entry fee is £10,000 GBP . Yep rich twits is right.

I really like that white STi, followed with the black one. If the blue one didn't have orange wheels it would look mucho better. I think that the gumball is a cool idea, too expensive though.

Nick

What a huge waste of $$.........

-Tom

Werd.

i dunno the graphics got us talking .. and talking about shoes too

thats the point of sponcership right?

anyone able to post the pics from the site as there is a password on it now?

This has to be an ego thing rather then a serious marketing plan. By the time you add up the cost of the cars, entrance fees, hotels, food, and shipping three cars and crew over to the UK and back thats probably getting up around buying TV time in major markets. They would have done better to spend the money on advertising at the Xgames or something.

oh and i just bought a pair of dc's this weekend after i saw this, just coincidence that i found a pair that i liked.... personally i like etnies or vans.... just my .02

Wow, incredible cars.
Blue/orange?! The only thing better than that would be white/orange. Can anyone photochop that for me?

Their cars/actions are doing exactly what they want...bring attention to their brand. Doing the Gumball and stuff like that is way more effective than X Games advertising. It makes them more 'core' than someone who's buying into a mainstream corporate marketing blitz like the X Games.

Ken Block sold the company to IIRC Quiksilver or some other bigger company and is just playing around. Why hate on him. He's a skater who started one of the best companies out there and now that he's successful he's having some fun.

I'd probably do a lot of the stuff he's doing just to make life fun. I'd definitely start rallying.

-mykr.

Is it wrong to like the pink on black best? :(

I'm lovin' the hot pink too. Hey, It's good enough for STi parts..

that white one is HOTT.

yes you are

well said mykr...those cars are hot..DC's are sweet and so is the gumball.

DC is this decades airwalk.

glad to see danny & colin have done so well though and these cars are sick. every last one of em.

gumball is a cool idea. dont be jealous you cant afford to do it!

let them go drive like nuts and wreck their cars. who cares! its still fun to watch.

For anyone that saved the pics could you post them up, or send them to me. Thanks.

Meh...

Gumball now, sheesh... Ken, if you're out there, what do you do for a living?

Brandon

Gumball now, sheesh... Ken, if you're out there, what do you do for a living?

Brandon

Who, Ken Block? I'm pretty sure he's the president / founder of DC shoes.

What a huge waste of $$.........

-Tom


flippin' hater!

Niiiiice. I'd love to compete. :D

im going to do the gumball thing this year. if anybody knows of a huge gumball machine we should have a meet. i can bring lots of quarters and we can empty that thing in a few hours.
