So basically, a circuit around the circumference of the continental 48 state, and stitching the northern border.

Shop preview!

Is there a set route? I was looking at the website and it seems there's a lot of stuff "coming soon".

Yeah, basically!
- Update -
We got pretty lucky: Barclay Street Real Estate decided to help us out and let us use their warehouse just outside of downtown. Amazingly huge and equipped with many heavy duty chain hoists! I'll start a post in the Garage section in a day or two and keep it updated, but I thought I would give everyone a sneak peek.

This is the outside of the main building:


Inside of the main building:


Inside of a secondary room with a half circle 3D chain hoist:


Inside of another secondary room with what looks like an old pit or a sump:


Inside of main shop with some of our cars inside:


Some of our engine and suspension parts (anyone guess what engine that is?):


Some of our interior parts and rims/tires:

You're more than welcome to, Ian!

Warehouse looks pretty sweet with all those Festies sitting in there!

Terrible news:

Gumsphere 300 has been denied work Visas to the U.S. for the tour, resulting in a full cancellation of this year's program.

This is shocking news, and it has completely gutted us. We worked closely with U.S. immigration officials at every step of the Visa application process and we had the endorsement of the AFM. No real explanation for the decision has been given - apparently sometimes bands apply and are rejected, then reapply and are accepted in a matter of months!

We're currently looking at rescheduling the tour for next year, but in the meantime we'll be returning your anyone's generous Indiegogo donation. We are working with Indiegogo to get this done in a reasonable time frame.

More news to come soon. Please accept our sincerest apologies for this unforeseen cancellation.

We still have a warehouse full of Festivas, so at least there's that!

I am officially bummed. Really seriously officially bummed.

[Jfro]

Yeah man. Us too.

Could you still swing the Canadian parts of the tour?
