OV53 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Absolutely fantastic! Thinking of doing this next year, any tips on getting sponsors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurenAmy Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 It was such an awesome experience! Definately worth looking into next years one as it's from London to Ibiza. There's also another rally next year called the Glam Ball Rally which would be worth looking into aswell, if you go to both websites then you will be able to see the route and itinery and go from there.. To be honest I just rang up the companies I bought the parts etc from and asked if they would be interested in sponsoring me...the best way is to just call them and ask, no harm in it, you may get some good discounts too!

OV53 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Mint! What were the parties like? Did you do the standard or the 5 star package? My mate is already booked up and has a squad for it so the pressure is on me now as I have a load of graft to do on my rescue dog before I let take her on a walk of the Modball proportion!

LaurenAmy Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Parties were great, all I would say is make sure you have enough taxi money on you as the hotels can be about 30minutes from the club, some 5* hotels were a bit further away and paying about 90 euro just for a taxi there! We just did the standard package as the 5* was ££££££ but it was alright, basically all you need is a bed to sleep in as youll be up early and driving all day and then partying most of the night... Oh also make sure you have cash on you all the time your driving as the police will be everywhere and will clock your stickers. We all got some HEAFTY fines!!! And the police are basically just wanting your money, if no money, then they will have your car... Obviously I could tell you to watch your speed, but as if any one is going to do that! Worth it though and great fun!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sounds mega! You doing it again or was this just a one off? What mods did you end up doing on your Zed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Car looks great and sounds like you had an amazing time. So, now you're home, what plans have you got for your Zed? How did he/she perform on the trip? Any issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Awesome i keep teasing myself on the idea of this as im not rich enough to drop the large sums for the gumball, Whats it like tho as i have heard mix reviews I know last year a lot of people went crazy about "being robbed" and the whole thing being a "scam". Looks like they took on board the negative comments and fixed the problems. Maybe they just had a bad year in 2012. The thing which always gets me is, there's so many people doing this type of thing now, I never know which run I want to join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurenAmy Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Awesome i keep teasing myself on the idea of this as im not rich enough to drop the large sums for the gumball, Whats it like tho as i have heard mix reviews Some things like the hotels werent great, and the locations of them to the clubs etc, I would definately say the people you meet, the experience you get and the cars you see all make the Rally, if it wasn't for the people we met etc then my own feeling is that it wouldnt have been as good, BUT im so glad I did it and I would do it again. I knew it wasnt going to be set out perfect and I think If I did it I would be more prepared and clued up about doing somthing like that. Not sure if I would do this one again next year, I might look into the Glam Ball Rally a little more, as I think I prefer the route of that one to be honest!

mattross1313 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Great pics. I was in London by chance the other week the day before it started. Parked up next to two Lithuainian motors - Zed and a Teg all stickers up. Also the above mentioned red chrome Beemer on the A4 - looked awesome!!!

wizard Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Congrats for completing the Modball rally Lauren! I did Modball 2009 with my 350z and it was good.... could have been better. I've noticed that the rally has come on a long way since I did it. You defo meet some characters on there. Made some great friends. Was invited to do the Rico Rally this year but didn't fancy the route so much. Would defo love to do another one, I'm just really picky about routes now as my friends and I do Euro trips regularly.

Neilp Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 What would you say the total bill was for the rally and expenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurenAmy Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 What would you say the total bill was for the rally and expenses? Well to book your place to go which includes ferry over there, all accomodation and club entry was about £1100, then was spending about 150euro's a day, and food etc is expensive in Europe and our fine was 1200 Euro so all about £4k...maybe a bit more Would of been better without the fine!!!!!!!!!

14N Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 ....our fine was 1200 Euro Ouch! I had to read that twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineV35 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 woah that could go to some nice mods! But respect to you for completing and nice shots of your zed btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurenAmy Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thank you, it definately could of! Well to be honest we got off lightly compared to the 6 other cars that were taken of people and the one person who just abandoned their car at the police station other wise they would of ended up paying about 6000 euros in solicitors fees etc!!!
