Tunnel Run ....... More like Toilet run for me ..... I was badly in need of a pee for about 45mins, and had to break off from the 'Lost' convoy I was in, had a pee outside an Embassy (?) in the open, got in my car, and just happened to join more scoobs in a 'Lost' convoy, than the one I was already in, this time I didn't care though, as my bladder was empty.

Waiting to hear the horns on someones camcorder footage through the tunnels

Hey guys

Firstly THANK YOU MILAMBER

We had a great laugh 2night got totally lost after the first tunnel for about half an hour but found you all in the end, kept finding odd groups of scoobs but got back in the end (With a little help from our friends lol) it was a shame about the traffic but it cant be helped

Great to meet CAT2 hope you had fun soz didn't get to talk more or get that pic of the cars but hope to meet you again @ an event some time soon

The collection went well, BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS it will be interesting to see how much we got, we saw a lot more paper money going in those tins than I expected and thanx to Yellow Van Man for the mugs, will have a couple more from you @ the posers please We will have to let VEGA know what the total was as HSBC will hopefully double it

Hope everyone enjoyed their pee @ the services LOL I know I did lol

But as for the Dartford tunnel @ the end looking forward to seeing the flames on the DVD

FAO Baz and Sara, Ade the guy in the blue scoob in front, I followed him as he knew where he ws going

Chris and Ems....

Default WELL

Thanks to all the INFORCEMENTS that knew this was happening & CLOSED all the TUNNELS apart from the TUNNEL that should have been closed Southbound (as normally is) BLACKWALL TUNNEL
(thats the TUNNEL you mean SARA)

Well i came out the SERVICES with about 30cars all getting through the lights, & i had a CAMCORDER, & got to the A13 & EVERY1 SHOT OFF
So much for go slow down A13
then loads of people caught up with me, But no1 over took as NO1 knew where was going.
But was a GOOD NIGHT (loads of tourists took pics of my car ) in all,
Got about 30mins of GREAT footage,
DARTFORD TUNNEL was hand held camcorder (and my poor copilot couldnt keep it still
Hopefully the FLAMES we caught on camera WILL be used this year.

Pictures will be up in about 10 mins.
BAZ

Well done Baz

Agree with you about everyone being in the 'I've got to go fast' frame of mind , I think that was the major problem, no stopping for re-groups

Bibo,

If you have footage then send it to vtech to turbo for inclusion in the dvd, you will get a credit for it.

He has software to remove the number plates for you.......

Thats a bit of a story by itself.

We DID stop for a regroup but ended up blocking up the entire road due to the sheer volume of cars. The bus drivers started to get very very annoyed and threatening to drive into cars. They called the police so we decided to move on. At that point there was a helluva lot of cars and very few were turning up so we thought we had everyone. Sory if we left you behind.

Hi was a good nite att he start then when every one left it when a bit wrong I followed the scooby to another car park which was tesco then when we got on the a13 people just sped off.I manage to find somone had no idea where they was going then i look back in my mirror and Im leading a few scoobys as no one has any idea whoooo.Luckly I printed off the instruction and had my good old pda which i follow to the blackwall tunnel.
Parked up in the bus lane there was quite a big group all park up and I syde with relife whoo .Then when we started up and again they all did the same thing I ended up leading quite a few people. I do apolige now as i was reading the instructions, had to turn around once or twice as missed a turning, plus some of the roads where closed off.Traffic was pretty bad thru london tho managed to arrive at the river just passed big ben where i saw lots of other scooby all parked up .Pulled over people asking me where we are going next luckly it was just around the corner parked up on chelsa bridge for a big then headed back towards dartford tunnel on my own this time saw a few scooby on the way back.
I was the black scooby with yellow stickers if anyone was following me there a pic of my car on the photoshop 1st pic that was me lol.
Was a fun drive thru london tho got to see the sight which was good don't think ill do it again tho i hate leading i felt pretty bad that i had to take over im sure people were pissed off as they were following me but hey luckly i printed off instructions lol.
I did like the black scooby with a train horn that was behind me that was loud
