Gumball 3000 Dublin to Bucharest - Manchester Etihad 2016

Today, I have a bit of a different post. This week is the 2016 Gumball 3000 from Dublin to Bucharest and it so happened that the rally was stopping in Manchester on Monday, on their way from Edinburgh to London. The line-up is pretty good with some rare cars, from a RUF CTR3 to a Porsche 918, to a couple of Ferrari F12 Tdf, to Lamborghini Aventadors, SLS, Mclarens, Brabus, 458... And despite the rain, I was there to take a few pictures and videos, which I edited into a video and uploaded onto Youtube, so feel free to check it out by clicking on the link below:

James Martin Supercar Sunday Manchester 08-06-14

 

As I mentioned in my previous post, today was James Martin's Supercar Sunday on the Great Northern Square in Manchester. James Martin had several of his cars on show, 4 Ferraris, a classic Ford Prefect which he races with Jason Plato and his Ford Mustang GT. Several other cars were on display: a Mclaren MP4-12C, an Aston Martin Vanquish (1st generation), a Maserati Gran Turismo Challenge Stradale, a classic racing Alfa Romeo, a brand-new Rolls Royce Wraith, several Bentleys from the dealership as well as 2 Kahn models (Range Rover and Defender). James Martin was present through most of the day, very friendly and approachable, shaking hands, having his picture taken, showing people the cars, opening bonnets... A great day with great cars and a great guy!

I just need to try his restaurant now, located round the corner inside the 235 Casino!
