Think the group i was leadin got there just as this happend mate we see a group of cars then heard every1 shout the police are on there way we gotta move so we joined the rest and followed only 2 get lost and left behind again about 10 miles down the road didnt see the lead cars all night was in the middle of the pack for most of it spent most the time parked up tryin 2 work out where to go lol

 

Being totally annal, Did anyone possibly get any footage of the Red & Gold stickered wagon flaming through any of the tunnels (apart from the authorities)? Being in the drivers seat, I never get to see the fruits of my labour!!!

BTW Great pics Baz69birds!!!

 

lol im the same never get to see mine i think i was behind u in 1 of the tunnels and there was a car or 2 behind me with camcorders going so u never know

 

Nice editing mate!!

Thanks for the PM

 

Cool! Apparently someone got done for flaming? heard on grapevine it was you??? obviously not though or you would have said??

(p.s I did see you!!!)lol

 

Nope not me lol

 

old bill saw my flames! they were right behind me

 

Did they like them? Didyou get away with it?

 

Did anyone she that blue scooby 22b with wide arches that very nice very rare what does that run been told 2.1 or 2.2 bottom end standard.

 

Well, it was a night I'll never forget!! It was a good'un, but think if we do it again, just a small idea, have more "lead" cars (people who know where they are going) and to have groups going off separate, rather than all at once! I know I went with Milamber on a practice run, but still didn't have a clue where I was ! Every group I managed to tag on to were lost!

It was definitely an experience, and the number of cars was amazing !! 10/10 for all the effort made, and got me a mug too!

Maybe if we do it in groups, we should split it up into people who have done it before, who are confident, and first timers being lead by ol' pros, and then have BIGGER meeting points. All leads cars to have radios, so we know when we have all arrived at meeting points !! Being my first time, I was very nervous (hate driving around London at the best of times) but having to watch all the Scoobies I was following go flying off in the distance, and trying to keep up without stuffing the car is scary !!!

Hats off to Milamber though, as he has worked really hard to organise this, and I think he deserves and huge round of applause...*claps and cheers*

 

i agree with em nice job mate but yeah deff need a few more ppl knowin the routes leading and then waitin for other see so many cars lost it was untrue lol

 

Nice one good to the scoob is still flaming

 

Thanks Em

 

With the best will in the world, getting 120 cars through london was never going to be easy

People were always going to get lost, its a fact of life and part of the post run experience. I mean was tescos car park on the route map

 

looks like you all had a good night, hopefully next year i wont have a broken car and will join you!!

bring on the dvd!!

 

Did they like them? Didyou get away with it?

yeah he liked it.they weren't traffic cops and they weren't going to nick me for that,just wanted to know how it worked.he had an idea of how it works, thought i might of had a nitruos bottle,nope.i just said i had a dump valve fitted to make it flame.

 

sounds like most had fun. Unfortunately with that many cars it is very difficult to keep everyone together, Em your idea of smaller groups has been disscussed before but it was decided not to as 1) as long as the lead cars dont go any faster than 40mph along the a13 then everyone is able to regroup before london anyway. 2) once we hit london the groups are going to get split up everywhere, due to traffic lights, jams etc. That's why maps and directions are posted. At the end of the day the route is not that hard, just means people have to spend 5 mins reading the directions.

Also a thought for next year, obviously the police are getting wind of where to read the route etc and therefore shuting down certain tunnels, so next year keep the details to the minimum on here.

 

need decent leader then eh Spally....

 

he he

 

Had a great time last night. Well done to Milamber for organising this.


Some great flames!!


Here`s a few shots from the evenings exploits!

 

NOW thats a FLAME!!!


great motions shots there

Still not seen any pics of me
(apart from the 1 i took )

 

Some pics of mine

Great pic of dazza's!! (Like the graphics)

Overal a GREAT night got a bit lost, but was funny seeing other scoobys on the other side of the road going the opposite way

Really good well done milamber!!

Oh bibo_boy loving the video NICE JOB

 

bibo, that vid is fab!! Think you have a lil' Steven Spilberg in the making there!! He looks great in his Scooby racing gear!! I saw you in the Thurrock services, but didn't realise it was you, sorry!!! Should have introduced myself!
Maybe at next Lodge/HWH meet, be able to say hi properly then!!

 

Sounds like a Great night was had by all then!

I had a feeling that people had got lost, i was going down the A13 towards London at about 10.30 and was passed by a few scoobs going the other way!

Looking forward to the DVD!!!

 

Well they never closed the Dartford tunnel, they always close that sliproad when they close the bridge (don't know why ), if people had gone upto the A13 and then went back along the M25 you would of had 2 tunnel runs at Dartford

 

Thanks Baz, great compliment from the camera man himself

 

sorry, will try harder next time

 

Thanx to Mialamber for organising this. It was a great event with a huge turnout of scoobies and non-scoobies alike.

To all the guys and ladies I led into London from the Dome, it was a pleasure and i'm glad we managed to stay together.

I totally agree with Em, smaller units of convoy(s), each having a lead that knows the route is far better than one or two leading a 'batallion'. No doubt peeps will get lost but it can be managed better i.e stopping @ lights or after lights to re-group.
Glad you all had fun, looking forward to next years and please note, the exit to join the M25 is always closed when we 'RUN', instead of going on the A13, double back unto the M25 by going under the bridge.

I see you got my car in the tunnel. Cool, shame i haven't got flames though.
