Default Spotted: Gumball 3000 Mini Cooper S

It was driving through the mountains of West Virginia / Pensilvania towards the East Coast. I was in a hurry and he wasn't willing to drive as fast so not much of an interaction there, but it was cool to see a real Gumball car up close

There is a Gumball replica mini from Maryland. Did he have glasses on? I forget his name now. I've met him a few times at various events and chatted online a bit. The car has never been on the Gumball, but he has the full sticker package on. He drives it like that year round.

Otherwise, I believe a pair of playboy bunnies drove a mini on the gumball a couple years ago.
