Cool Wot a great way to spend the day!

Just have to echo the same comments already made about what a fab day it was and how lucky we were about the weather.

I think it will be unforgettable not only for us but also for all the people who were out at the time when we swept past. I'm sure many of them were left wondering what on earth it was all about (we'll try and forget all the ***** who kept breaking the convoy up ).

Thanks to all those who organised it.

Danny - think you should have included Norfolk Police in your thanks for their assistance at Great Yarmouth and their very discreet presence

What a great day out!
Left Brighton at 8:30 in the morning with a full tank of petrol, 480 miles later and 2 more refills, have just got, although the last 100 was done today as stayed in Colchester last night!
The convoy was an awesome sight and a great experience to be part of!
Although, for half an hour, myself and 4 other scoobs had our own mini convoy!
After leaving Yarmouth, we were at the back and lost everyone, instead of going to the seafront, we went straight up the 1159, trying to play catch up!!
After 20 mins of some very spirited driving it dawned on us that maybe we werent at the rear afterall, so stopped in a pub and waited!!
After 10 mins of waiting, we felt the earth tremoring, the birds and animals were running and the blue rinse brigade were cowering, then round the corner you all came!!

I too thought that coast road was never going to end, some spirited driving at the front of the convoy! You know who you all are!
One thing is for sure, those scoobs aint built for comfort, but they are certainly built for driving!
Heres to the next one!

I've just played back the camera car footage for the first time. It's awesome! Tiny your flames in the dark are amazing.

DvD is going to take a while to sort out, so I will upload a few little clips to wet your appetite later in the week.

Also the seafront camera footage is supurb

Cool Superb Day

What an excellent day! Completely knackered by the time I got home (come to think of it I was completely knackered by the time we got to Cromer!!) but one that I wont forget for a while - especially driving onto the green at Hunstanton

For me the quote of the day had to be from a little old lady in one of the villages we went through who said "Ooooh, I think it must be a rally or something" Priceless

Big thanks to all those who organised - certainly the best "cruise" I've ever been on

Well what a fantastic day!!!

Came across from Leicester and waited eagerly at Copdock to meet up with the convoy from Thurrock!
Excitement was almost unbearable as I heard the grunt of the first bunch of Scoobs drive in!

A superb drive through the east coastlines, especially in great Yarmouth! The faces of all those people on the front just looked amazed! Certainly gave me a huge buzz!

Great finish on that green in Hunstanton, will remember that for a long time.

Met so many people yesterday, hopefully meet up with you all very soon.

And this is only my second meet! Look forward to many more!

Thanks go out to all the organisers and of course all who took part to raise some money to the very special charities.

I did this run in honour of my Mum who I lost to Cancer 2 years ago.

Tiny didn't miss an opportunity to raise a bit more cash. He didn't stop collecting money from the general public on the entire route. By the time we got to Hunstanton, he had managed to raise an extra £142.00.

Tiny my friend we salute you

Nice one Tiny.But then who could refuse you.You big softy.

What more can be said.Fantastic day all round.And I managed to fit in a spot of sunbathing & eyed up the ladeeez.



Apologies though to those following me on the last bit to Hunstanton but I had to stick with the lead car to me as I did not have that last bit fed into my Sat/Nav & he did. From behind it probably looked worse than it felt in car.And my "Overcooked it there" alarm never went off once.Well at least Jess sat there & never said a word.

Struck dumb with terror most likely.

Trip home went well.We found the Optimax watering hole.And drank it dry.Nice pic Pele.



And had a nice chilled out drive back through the leafy lanes of Thetford forest & back to the reality of the A12.

Not your fault Mark - and trust me tho it looked really bad... not the sort of thing you do with a 4 year old in the back

Now got Sat Nav & a new camera on the way

Thumbs up

Fantastic day thoroughly enjoyed, especially the country road between Yarmouth and Cromer. Poor little white Fiat didn't know what was going on and stopped to let everyone pass at warp speed.

Brilliant Day, weather perfect and Scoobies everywhere......

Has to be done again.
