We spent a long week end in Stockholm towards the end of May which happened to coincide with the start of the Gumball Rally 3000.
Large numbers of high performance cars - their paintwork ruined by sponsorship decals - were lined up in the centre of Stockholm whilst their owners revelled in the display of brash excess and whiled away the time before the departure by high fiving each other and stamping repeatedly on their car's accelerator pedal. Crowds of locals and tourists gathered to gawp at the assembled motors whilst a DJ whipped the crowd into a frenzy and informed us (repeatedly) that Dolph Lundgren was "INDA HOUSE!!!!!"
The rally represents the triumph of cash over taste, but it made for an entertaining hour's spectating.
