Wink tunnel run

Another good night . good to see so many there , got completly lost as everyone vanished so decided to go sight seeing round london. Must have gone over the bridge to the park at least 6 times but saw no one , so decided to call it a night and head back , i had to do the dartford crossing , that was fun going through the tunnel next to me was a renault 21 turbo giving it large sounded nice together with mine as well , Lisa wanted the toilet so had to stop of at thurrock and guess what ???? All you lot were there ...at midnight . then the little chap spoke to me ( TINY )and said they were all going to southend...so i tagged along i followed baz and 4 others that was fun .. got to southend and stopped for about 1 hour and then left for home . going down the M25 heading for the M1 . on the way to the M1 i was overtaken by 2 K-REG silver loons . one being the car that tiny was on about . both not hanging about doing 140 + racing together i did not join in left them to there own , as i turned of for the M1 they went straight on .. apart from that it was a bloody good night see you all at the next one WAZ ..........ps . tiny i still owe you £10

what can I say, but - wow, what a night!!!!!

huge thanks to Milamber and Tiny for organising it, and anyone else who was involved, Such a fantastic event, first tunnel run I've been on, and it won't be the last!

Got back to Suffolk about 2am this morning, got to bed about 4am.....but damn, it was worth it! Loved the yank muscle cars, including the awesome Chevy doing burnout starts right next to us, and the mad, insane little Fiat.....and the noise....oh the noise!!!! I'm still grinning!!!

See most of you in a few weeks for Children in Need!

Look at it this way, EVERYONE had a different experience of the evening as nearly everyone got split up
another cracking blast in the scoob (even though she was running a bit rough)

Spec C and myself have got this leading thing down to a t now, we're pro's lol..just a shame everyone got split up at the closure in london!!!

Just Surfaced after a good event

Thanks for the map, we ended up needing it as not another scoob in site when we got split up at the lights at Tower Bridge .

We got a bit geographically embarrassed then caught up with a Black new age and silver classic at parliarment Sq, and ended up being the first 3 cars in battersea park ... was a bit ... was trying to work out how we got lost and still ended up beating the leaders to the park.

Wasnt long b4 Spec C and the gang turned up which we were releived about .. how could we have lost 70+ scoobs I was thinking to myslef

... unfortunately there arrival was quickly followed by Park Police ... and we were Maccy D's Bound.

A good night out
