Mark - hope you have a great night - sorry we can't be there (due to daughter having a better social life than me!! )


I'm sure you'll have a good time - make lots of noise & raise lots of cash for the kids!!

Thanks for letting us know guys. Nothing worse than waiting & no one showing up. Small convoy this year but 30-40 cars once we hit Norwich.

Off to sticker the car.

Cheers Scott glad you enjoyed your first CIN. It is a hell of a buzz leaving Mackro & wafting our way through all the red lights & junctions making some noise. The people of Norwich seemed quite appreciative this year with lots of waves & smiles mostly from young ladeez.

huge thanks to mark for organising things this end (you,jess and the scoob looked spot on) hope the rattle is/was nothing serious,(sorry i missed your call i couldn't get my phone out of my pocket) that corsa looked like he wanted to mate with you down the 140 and make baby corbaru's!!! you should of got out with your Tommy gun and " popped a cap in his ***" lol

Just as you enter a multi exit roundabout is not the best place to be told there is something rattling down by the n/s passenger door as I had visions of a door flinging open.

I suppose the Corsa expected us to be doing 10mph more than each speed limit allowed seeing as they were following a tarmac ripping Scooby. It was so funny to see him disappear for a bit as we left each 30 only for him to reappear up my chuff in the next one. There are too many cameras lurking on that stretch to play silly beggars with a Corsa.


big thanks to scoobymaz for getting us to the pub as i got us totally lost

I was following some locals on a "short" cut but lost them at some lights. Made me laugh when Jess saw you coming out of another road onto the same roundabout we were on.

all in all a top night and well worth the drive

Indeed it was & always is a top night & thanks for your support Scott & to the rest of our little convoy. Nearly 50 cars attended in the end & there was some "crazy" fancy dress. I had a rather large fairy with a gruff voice behind me in the queue for the carvery.
Roll on next year.

A few pictures to be going on with :-

Just got back home guys, had a really good night again. It is good having police escorts, but I would be annoyed if I was waiting at a junction watching 50 scoobs go through and I couldn't move!
Had a good day in Norwich today, left there about 3pm and had a nice run back until I got 2 minutes from my house when some idiot coming the opposite direction decided there wasn't enough room for us both and clipped my mirror! His more expensive jag mirror went flying across the road, and mine just smashed the glass! Anyone got a spare glass for a bugeye wing mirror lying about?

Cheers guys we all had a great time thanks to the lads in the convoy flat eric etc, sorry i don't know your names but thanks for waiting etc etc..

We would never have found the pub as we got stuck at two sets of lights! and watched all the Scoobys disappear round the corner . I'm sure we'll catch up at the next event
