roll on the msoc tunnel run 2010. start saving for the tanks lol

 

sorry to say, but in a way you are right mags
the esc tunnel run has grown to a level that cannot be controlled
hats off to chris and the gang for the effort put in for EAA
but where were the ESC old school, not all of you i know
this event is a must do
and i will be at next years

well done chris, mark, ross, matt, andy, wozza
i bet i missed someone

 

There were a lot of subaru driving ***** about 2 ft from each others bumpers as well, with no spacial awareness or regard for others.

its a shame really, but it takes a certain mindset to do these runs and i saw lots of people just being loonies.

count me in for the MSOC one.... (do you allow fords????)

 

Budgie you forgot me ...lol , dazza i was called a loonie for wearing shorts and a vest ...lol but thats just the way i dress ...hahaha , whens the next one ???? lol
