sorry Mark I'm full otherwise you could have jumped in with me. I'm sure you'll be able to get a lift off someone...

Yep - well done to the organisers

shame we got booted out of Costco car park - subsequently missing out on the opening of the tunnel

But it was a great turn out (of course) and the noise was awaesome when I was standing by the roadside filiming you all going in and out of Rotherhithe tunnel - you noisey beggers (some bloody good flamers though)

Wozza i'm still sulking about not getting a sticker -

Well done - can't wait for next year

Great night, well done to all who organized.
Cracking DVD from 2007 which I watched as soon as I got home.
Judging by the amount of cameras this year, it should be an even better DVD for 2008. Well done Bibo.

With some of you guys going through them tunnels, it was like November the 5th

Roll on next year.

Was a good night but there were issues with the navigation especially after leaving McDonalds.
About 20 of us left at the same time but before I could even get onto the roundabout most had vanished so I followed the guy in front, who took the 3rd exit as per the instructions, and we stopped at the BP station. We managed to form up with 8 other scoobies for the Dartford tunnel.
What I couldn't work out is how Milamber left McDonalds before us but got through the Dartford tunnel after us

Enjoyed it though

He either drivers very slowly, couldn't work out his own directions or maybe did the tunnel more than once

Think a few went back from MacDonalds to thurrock via the Blackwall Tunnel - Because as we went round the roundabout to go BACK to Thurrock - a few were joining from the other direction???

As we left Thurrock Servces though - apologies to the silver scoob that decided to follow us - think he thought we would lead him to the rest of you - however, we led him to Avely

From what I gather, there may not be a DVD for the 08 Tunnel Run, unless someone volunteers.

Yeah, I think I did that.........not sure what I did actually but ended up going thru the dartford only once and ending up in thurrock so called it a day then and headed home - but then saw the interceptors on M25, scoob and evo so that really made the kids' day

Also totally missed the left turn immediately after Blackwall Tunnel - as did the silver scoob in front of me - was a woman also! Don't know how many women drivers there were last night - - so best keep it quiet that two of us managed to get lost...........however she had more savvy than me as led me back nicely to where we were meant to be - so if you see this thank you

there must be someone who does this sort of thing for a living
and would find it very easy
the DVD is a major part of the event in my opinion
its so nice to look back on the evening and enjoy again
come on someone, help us out
