Police might find it easier to control (if they decided to) if there are three groups. Not sure but might be better just to hit it all at once and hope for the best - in terms of traffic.

I don't mind sitting in a tunnel for 10-15 mins hearing all the reving and noise.

Just my two penneth - will go with whatever is decided.

Know how you feel Baz ... I was banned from Basildon for a while under the threat of 3 points. Not good!

What they give you three points for? Or was it the copper saying you're going to get three points?

That's harsh mate ... was it traffic police? Sounds like it from his 'i'm the terminator' attitude!

He prob just got a bee in his bonnet from the car and then decided you were getting points whatever happened ... to55ers mate.

You should argue it though and take it as far as it will go. The thought of shed loads of paperwork and a possible court case may dissuade him to give you the points.

Worth a try matey.

T123VOR .... you won't get any points from the night. Nobody really ever exceeds the speed limits - it's more just the noise in the tunnels we all go for. Police have left us alone for two years on the trot, even turned up at the last one to have a look at all the cars!

Cool. Thanks for the advice. This will be my first outing with you fellas (and ladies!) and although I am now living in Kent I am an Ilford boy by birth so hopefully that counts!!
If it's just about the noise I might ride shotgun anyway and take some pics/videos
I flicked through the thread what services are the thurrock ones? the ones near arena essex?

Yeah, those are the ones. We congregate at about 8-30 and will head off at 9pm. Just so long as everyone understands that we are going to get broken up I can see no reason why we can't all leave at once.

The ones at the front can drive slow and let the ones at the back catch up.

The MOST important thing is to remember that this is NOT A RACE
Keep within the speed limits and make sure the road angels have been updated before you leave. Be courteous to other road users and don't block all the lanes. If you see a non-scoob behind you pull over and let it by.

Absolutely no burnouts or donuts in the Lakeside services and smile at the tunnel staff as they take another £1-00 off you for a tunnel that paid for itself decades ago.

Hopefully leaving it an hour later will mean the M25 will be a little quieter for us.

PMSL ... was that in the Halfords car park? Or down the drag strip?

I promise to be on my best behaviour for this one! I love tunnel cruises and don't want to ruin it.

Lakeside services is perfect for donuts though!

Yeh I think I know her ... prob from around the street racing scene.

Try it in a large car park first matey before doing what I was doing down the drag strip .. i.e mounting the wheels on the roundabout and donutting around it. It's bloody awesome when you get it nailed.

So I can expect to see you doing it in bas soon yeh??
