( under here kthx )

Happy 35th Birthday to the reason I began this community...Tove &hearts &hearts

If you want to see pics of Tove from the NY Awake premiere, they are over at Desiring Hayden.net.

Tove and FPP will be working on a new movie for Hayden called Beast of Bataan, Hayden will be playing a lawyer and shooting should start in February.

The Gumball Rally was cancelled yesterday in Bratislava due to the tragic death of two Macedonian Citizens who died in a head on collision with one of the rally participants cars.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and with the survivors as well...may justice be served.


ETA: Tove was not involved in this accident but he did leave early before the race was cancelled and is safe.

Tove is doing the Gumball in Europe...you can go to these links to see the info and pics. Look for Team #10 Team Christensen in the Black Aston Martin V8 Vantage!

I THINK I SAW TOVE ON TV
My dad was watching the RM Classic Car Auction on ESPN Classic...it was at Monterey, California and it was August 19, 2006...they panned the audience and I saw the hair, the eyes, the smile and the GREEN CHRISTIAN AUDGIER (however the hell its spelled) shirt he wore in TORONTO!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 99.999999% it was him but damn it I can't find much...my heart lept in my chest when I saw the person...looked at the arms and the eyes, the harry potter hair and the shirt is definitely a dead giveaway.

I am pretty sure it was him. Whoever he was with, they clinked glasses together...I am still on a high...omg...someone revive me please

This is me right now *grinning like an idiot*


ETA: I did see him on that show...it was confirmed by another website. *happy dances*

Do you think Tove and Peter will be back for Bullrun 07? If so what will they be driving and what antics do you think they will get into?

Also...if you have any Tove news that you would like to share...please feel free to do so! This is OUR community so please post away!

Good luck to one of our members redcolls who is off to Toronto for the TIFF and the Christensen Brothers party thursday night!!!!

What happens on Bullrun stays on Bullrun..right? Well, almost. There were the TV cameras there for ITV in the UK..so you'll be able to watch the Bullrun NY to LA show right after Italian Grand Prix qualifying Saturday, 9th September, 3pm GMT on ITV1. Special screenings to be announced in the USA so watch this space.. So, Bullrun fans, after an amazing Bullrun USA in 2006 the event finally had to draw to a close. You may have seen Bullrunners walking around in a state of sleep, this is a mediacal condition know as 'Bullrun-lag'.. it takes at least a week to shake off! Many amazing high points from this years rally, check out the website updates over the next 2 weeks to find out more! Bullrun 2007 gets announced within the next 2 weeks..

So after almost 3,800 miles a few awards had to be given out..otherwise it's just plain wierd. Bullrunners all got their 2006 medals and then a few special awards, in no particular order. So.....the ’Always First’ Award. Well, about the winners....they talked about Bullrun for about 8 months, they bet $12k on themselves and they bought a 911 turbo especially for the event and had an extra fuel cell put in it. They then drove like demons and partied like rock stars. They even wore t-shirts to make everyone question their sexual preferences. But they did it and they did it in style. First place was Team Forest Park Pictures. Tove Christensen & Peter Michels - two great drivers (Tove reckons he's better though..) and two great people. For the second year running Team Texas came in second. The Collins Brothers, were equally good value, drove and partied hard but always great fun - we look forward to them next year! In third place were newcomers, Team Riecke. I think it's fair to say Jared Riecke and Byron Burkhardt charmed the pants off everyone in the event, true, true gentlemen from the South who know what it means to be both competitive and gracious.

So what does Bullrun do when the rally is over? Plan the next one.. Bullrun with their partners, the Unlimited Class, present the 2006 La Carrera Panamericana Unlimited Class in Mexico, the greatest road race in the world. The event will run modern exotic cars in the historic Carrera Panamerica. 20 modern day cars will race over 7 days, 3,050 km, and for $100,000 USD of prizes. 100% legal. 100% race. The Unlimited Class at La Carrera Panamericana will take place from November 9th to 16th of 2006, starting in Oaxaca, Oaxaca and finishing in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. For the inaugural race, the modern cars will be a separate class immediately proceeding the Historic race. For more info on what's required to participate, what you need for your vehicle, how to apply etc. e-mail. 

Thing about the T-Shirts...ALL PETER'S FAULT...Just because it is fun to pick on him *grins*

I will be putting Tove pics from GTC.com and DH.net sometime within the next day or so for your viewing pleasure!

Stay tuned *grins*

 I have been communicating with the webmaster of this site because ironically he had someone else listed as Tove LOL. He has updated the site and would like me to share it with my friends. He also has a logo but it wont show up...oh well...check it out!

2006 Bullrun: Christensen and Michels Win Coast-to-Coast Exotics Rally

 

by Jeremy Rosenberg
ForbesAutos.com

BEVERLY HILLS — As far as raw hedonism goes, this finish line wasn't all that much.
Sure, there was a cigarette, a couple of bottles of Korbel champagne sprayed about and a couple dozen or so open cans of light beer.

After the rally's final leg, the earliest teams to arrive in Beverly Hills posed, en masse.

And, yeah, there were two guys in matching yellow emu, or maybe it was ostrich, costumes, flitting about — members of the rally team Los Hermanos Cubanos. And, indeed, there was a beautiful woman wearing a short plaid skirt, fluttering the fabric with her hands, trying to stay cool.

But mostly, with the exception of screeching, smoking, post-rally donuts done by the arriving exotic supercars, the mood last Friday afternoon at the finish line of Bullrun 2006 — the coast-to-coast rally that began on July 22 in Times Square in Manhattan and motored for seven days through checkpoints in Toronto, Chicago, Kansas City, Vail and Las Vegas — was a subdued and fraternal one. Perhaps this was the calm before the storm of parties due to occur later that weekend.

On Friday at 4:27 p.m., five cars arrived at a hastily arranged end-point — the second uncovered level of a parking structure adjacent to a Robinsons-May department store and the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Porsches and the like soon rolled in, one after the next.

This was but one single, albeit the final, Bullrun rally stage. Later that evening, the overall award winners were announced. Tove Christensen and Peter Michels, who co-piloted a 2002 Porsche 996 Turbo, won first place in the "Always First" category. This is egalitarian Bullrun's closest equivalent to declaring a 2006 champion.
 
Christensen and Michels were among the initial group of racers to arrive in Beverly Hills. Christensen said he received a speeding ticket 14.5 miles from the finish line from a police officer on a motorcycle.

"He was like a ninja cop or something," Christensen said. "Like David Copperfield, he magically appeared there."

Christensen said his brother, Hayden, of Team Star Wars, who drove a Ferrari 360 Modena, received five tickets in one day. Other participants told their own stories of three-digit mile-per-hour motoring, along with subsequent friendly, and occasionally less so, run-ins with law enforcement officials.

Tickets and even arrests were an anticipated nuisance for the rally participants, some of whom employed for the event radar detectors, laser jammers, CB radios, helicopter spotters, sweet talking and, if all else failed, bail money.

Racers said that serious calamities were few and far between. A sole one-vehicle accident was reported involving a Cadillac Escalade — hardly a high-performance, active-safety vehicle.

"Nothing dramatic happened," said Bullrun director David Green. "Some people had to hide under blankets as we came back into America from Canada because they'd lost their passports after a bit of a night out in Toronto. Some people-smuggling — but apart from that, I think we're good."

Richard Rawlings, a Bullrun and Gumball 3000 rally veteran revered by fellow participants, said he spent much of the week relaxing, running blocker for his friends. "I took my [BMW 745i] touring car," Rawlings said. "I wanted to kind of kick back a little more and take it easy."

"You gotta party, you gotta haul ass," he said. "I mean it's kick-ass. The most fun anyone can have, period, far as I'm concerned."

Bullrun entries are by invitation only and cost $14,000. The rally is scheduled to air as an unscripted series next spring on Spike TV.

Olympic track-and-field legend Carl Lewis was another first-time Bullrun participant. Lewis joined Spyker executive Carsten Preisz in a silver C8 Spyder.

"There is no one thing that this whole thing is about," Lewis said of the rally. "It's about the lifestyle. And to me, like I've been saying all the time, it's amazing because there are people from all walks of life; all ethnicities; different countries. And one thing brought them together: their love of cars."

 

 

As of last night, the Bullrun offically ended...the winners of the Bullrun overall...

Wait for it...

 

Still waiting...
