Nice one guys!

Got some good video footage too! Had the in-car video running from when we left Thurrock.

Was right behind the Spec C around West Ferry Circus.....including the side-ways bit!

Loads of flames from Betts and the black Classic!

That roundabout was great, never been on it before! I think there were too many scoobs last time to be able to get on it!!

I got lost about 10 circuits, I mean times!!

Your not wrong!

The funniest was watching the Micra go round in front of me, almost on 2 wheels!!! LOL Not known for there planted suspension setup! The 3rd guy in the back looked like one of those guys on a side car trying to keep all the wheels on the ground

I'm not sure there will be another 'official' one. Unfortunately it has been a victim of its own success and with sooo many scoobs it becomes very hard to keep it all together. But keep an eye out anyway, it might be a bit of a last minute thing to keep the numbers down abit.

Keep an eye out for the "underground" posts and you may get in on the next one with the other renegades!

More tunnel runs with fewer cars is definately the way forward!

Maybe there should be one big meet at Thurrock but then the cars leave in groups of 10 cars about 15mins apart.

yeh but problem with staggered leaving times is that some groups will want to just rag it whereas others might not - so we'll all end up bunched.

Also by the time the first groups have hit the underground roundabout or dartford bridge the police/security will have cottoned on to what is happening ... will send out the patrol car through the tunnel like last time.

We just got to limit numbers IMHO. Announce the run maybe 2 days before and see what interest it gets. Going to be the standard hardcore running each time so guarunteed to be a laugh/success.
