Crazy Gumball story

[Rob ITR1035]

A client of my sister's was on gumball this year, and told her this story. pretty wild if its true

there was a middle eastern prince of some kind on gumball, and he was driving a koenisegg. he somehow blew his oil or radiator cap from the motor. Evidently, a VW cap will work on that motor, so he takes the car to the nearest vw dealership to get a new cap. the dealership doesnt have any in stock, so the prince asks if he can buy one of one of the cars in the lot and just let the dealership order a new one. for whatever reason they wont let him do that. so he proceeds to buy a $15K vw, takes the cap, and hands the keys back to the dealership, and proceeds on his way.


LOL

I thought that he blew his gasket and went to the dealership, but they didn't have the gasket in stock, so he bought a new koeninseg? All these rumors are f*cking gay why are people making shit up?

well this is a little bit closer to first hand i guess, *shrug*


what dealership sells koenigseggs?

This is from an article in the SF Chronicle http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...3/MN261678.DTL

"Another tale making the rounds involves the driver of the Koenigsegg, a custom-made Swedish car that retails for $400,000. The driver apparently blew the car's oil gasket, and the only replacement part he could find was at a nearby dealer. But the only part the dealer had was in a new car. So, the man purchased the car and took only the gasket"

I also heard that he ordered a Koenigsegg, but the factory told him that it wasn't going to be ready in time for the Gumball, so he found someone else that had one and bought it off that person. Then the one that he ordered came in on time, so now he has two of them. (I am not sure about the validity of this story, but it seems like it could happing considering the oil gasket story.)

Two guys from DC who had their Cobra break down in Nevada. They rented a Mitsubishi Eclipse, and came home first.

american......LOL

that story is shady as hell. theres no way a "local" dealership has one of those cars. but i guess him buying a VW could be tru. probably all a bunch of BS
