Just a good ol boy, never short of charm

 

Petrol-heads, curious tourists and families passed by Rosenborg Castle on May  5, a rainy Monday bank holiday, to watch one stupendous car after another (Porsches, Ferraris, you name it) make their pit-stop in Copenhagen as part of the Gumball 3000 tour.

The 17th annual Gumball had started in Stockholm two days earlier ahead of finishing on May 30 in the Sin City itself – Las Vegas. Over 100 vehicles participated in the transcontinental driving tour, and Copenhageners clearly wanted to make them feel welcome in their city, gathering well in advance of their expected 3pm arrival to listen to music and, in some cases, play blackjack (centre right). Luckily the weather got better and the crowds bigger, particularly around General Lee himself (right), the 1969 Dodge Charger from the ‘Dukes of Hazzard’, the most popular photo call of the day.
