Well I must say a BIG THANK YOU to all you guys who sorted this night out!
I've only owned my Blue Type RA for a couple of months and this meet really showed me and my sister what owning a Scooby is all about!
There were some truly awesome cars out there. Ended up following a White ST? round the roundabout for a bit with a Blue Elise and some other Blue Scoobies before we all tore off in search of our first tunnel!
Amazing sounds and the flames on some of the cars were something else!
Got lost but always managed to find a group of Scoobs as all you had to do was follow the sounds!
I now know what I need to do to my car. Full Exhuast system and a dump valve!
Thanks again guys n gals! Top night and can't wait for the next one

Then came a message over the radio saying the police were on there way and soon after it looked like a scean from Fast & Furious with cars scattering all over the place. As for the 2 silver sti's that went so fast through the blackwell tunnel towards the A13 cheers for nearly wipping me out the wife would love to get her hands on you
This is where the fun began. All the group that were with me got seperated some went over tower bridge others were not seen again(probably still in london now). I bet there will be a few speeding tickets on doorsteps monday morning as 5 cars went fast me doing warp factor 9 in a 30mph spec area(ouch). We did not manage to make it to Battersea as we stoped for the rest of the Bucks group to re group as some of them got well lost. After regrouping we headed for the last meeting point Mac D's where we had a mass walk through (pmsl) Mark B4 where's the pics? Anyway a big thanks to all that organised the run next year should be fun. Wazzo look forward to meeting up with all you guys soon MK on Sunday 5th could be good.Cheers.
Iain & Bucks Scooby Crew.

Thanx for the great night guys, unfortunately my ahem... "Navigator" sent me the wrong way and I got totally lost, so thanx to the peeps in the black Catalunya for helping me find my way and a Big Thanx to the guy in the Blue (55 reg) STI who helped me find my way back to the main group when I got lost AGAIN and went on a mission down some side roads alongside the London Eye and got held up at some dodgy Lights that wouldn't change
A great night though and will definately be there next year.

was it yourself that pulled out of the petrol station as we passed? We where so lost too it was unbeliveable lol, sorry for turning off so quickly without enough warning for you to follow but it was one of those moments where my mrs was on the phone to Milamber trying to find our way back to the group (after being lost for about half an hour lol) and suddenly spotting the turning we needed felt really guilty after just letting the blue STI pull infront of us 
Its really nice to read everyones adventures on here as dispite the tunnel closeures and the heavy traffic everyone had a good time even if the did get lost
Just been through my video footage got about an hour on tape with with prob about 30mins of good stuff
plenty of flames too , got some jerky footage of an empty dartford tunnel as myself and a silver classic brought the tunnel down to about 5 mph as we entered so we could all gun it through followed by Milamber with his camera how was the footage m8? Chris and Bony Em

I said to my sister, all we gotta do is stay behind EMS, she looks like she's been here before.
When we were going round the roundabout, I just assumed it was a tactic to make sure people behind could catch up from the car park!
lol Yeah, the ST? is pretty cool, it's very noticeable as the car is so clean and badgeless. Top drawer!

She HAD I'm glad everyone enjoyed themselves despite getting lost, we managed to fill 2 collecting tins
so have got plenty to give the Essex Air Ambulance, Thanks for your donations everyone Andy-C had a count and managed to get to 110 with more arriving
We had absolutely no involvement with the authorities other than tissy showing off his company car
Roll on the DVD. I got some good footage going through Docklands/excel and from the blackwall tunnel from the rearward facing camera I borrowed from Phil/Scoobyworld. That really is a fun little device and easy to set up once you have the hang of it. If anyone wants one they should contact Scoobyworld and mention Phil stephens' name
