It was a great night especially with the Mrs driving most of it

 

Good to see some of you guys at West Ferry Circus tonight, just a shame I was at work and in the van

Caught the end of a Pistonheads meet under Blackfriers tunnel when I got back to work, the Scoobs were loud, but kin ell some of the TVR's were rediculous

 

Oi haven't you got some fibre optic cable to lay or something?!

Two words... Carnage and Epic, great effort everyone and top job Ron

 

Great night out - was good to meet people

Westferry circus was awesome

 

Good night people, have to give it to Lorraine and Ron for all the effort they put in. Was carnage thou ,people doing the original route and others doing Ron's route. Very confusing at times. Nice chatting to the guys I managed to during the night too

 

Was a good night although had to shot off not long after arriving at underground round abour lol. Cheers to the organisers.

 

Sounds like it was a good night out for everyone

 

Wow, never seen so many lovely looking motors . I arrived just as everyone was leaving thurrock , but still got to scream through dartford.
Sorry to guys that followed me down to bilingsgate. I had to shoot into London 'hope yous found everyone lol.
Will def be at the next one (ON TIME)

 

Cracking night we only did the Dartford tunnel as we had little ones in the car with us (way past there bed time but they loved it expecially the drag start from the toll booths lol)
Followed a Skyline through the Dartfort tunnel Windows down heater turned full on (What a noise Epic night My first tunnel run of very many.Well done everyone, money raised for charity too

 

It was about time someone showed you how to drive the car properly dear ; )

Great fun, looking forward to the next one.

 

don't know what you are talking about babe

 

Great night. Good turn out. Loved the new route. Shame some didn't bother to learn it (Including the white classic that followed me all the way along the A13 but then decided to head up to Canary wharf instead of through the Limehouse Link. Trouble was, the rest of the convoy followed him! )

New McDonalds re-group venue was fantastic. As was Westferry Circus.

Well done to all those involved in the organising.

 

That was my first tunnel run. Really enjoyed it, such a buzz, some really great highlights for me, every scoob hoooning it from the toll booths LOL, and in the lime house link tunnel, that was awesome, as i was behind 2 skylines
Rotherhide tunnel was just as entertaining with every scoob tooting each other.

Well done to those who organised the run.

Whens the next 1 :P

 

I took the old route lol but cut out Rotherhith tunnel, I forgot the route had changed this year!

 

So gutted I didnt see this thread sooner would of been all over this otherwise.
Sounds like an awesome night. Will have to keep my eyes peeled for the next one

 

Has anyone got any pics or vids of the night..

 

Some on has posted up some pics n vids on the Essex Scooby crew facebook page! Was a great nighteven thoe I bailed out after the first leg! Still a great night!

 

Big thank you to knotty for the lift all night, had some fun with the Tom Tom files but got there in the end, was a fantastic night, great turn out

 

Did u guys manage to do some tunnels then?

 

was a fantastic night the route was very confusing and alot of people where gettin lost but all in all a good night

 

Yes we did after macdonalds and west ferry,

 

That's the fun of the tunnel run, I literally laughed out loud when I was at a three-way junction and there was a scoob at the lights of each, we all criss crossed and went in different directions! I ended up heading towards Lewisham at on point! Big thanks to the couple behind me on Tower Bridge (blow it reg) who knows where I would of ended up!

There were drivers from far away lands who joined last night, great effort hope the chappie from Norfolk I was speaking to at Billingsgate Maccies (you know who you are!) made it home ok

 

Westferry was the highlight for me as I found the actual run slightly disorganised after the Dartford crossing because people started going off in different directions.
I think this was due to some not following the new route and doing the old instead.

When we first got lost we went to the Charlton Mac Dees for the first regroup.
But was told that everyone was at Billingsgate Mac Dees which wasn't on the route?! So ended up driving there instead.

 

Just wanted to say thanks to the organisers. This was our 4th tunnel run and it was great to do a new route. Never done Westferry before so that was a highlight. Not sure why but the Garmin decided not so speak and to loose signal through part of the route so had to rely on the printed directions, all I can say is 10/10 for whoever done them because I found they were spot on. I think for anyone who decided to do the old route they missed out. Must say was slightly surprised to be the only hatch there, last year there was about 4. Anyway great work and cant wait til next year.

 

Lorraine - Any idea how much was raised for charity last night?

 

I ended up following someone who must have done the old route, so shame I never got to do the proper run.

Was yours the silver hatch at Westferry?
I was quite surprised as well, thought there would be more new hatch/saloons.

 

Yep mine was the silver hatch. I know they arent everyones cup of tea but at least we are easy to spot in the videos lol. Did anyone else happen to notice the RX8 that nearly crashed into the wall on the exit out of Westferry, that was certainly a brown trouser moment and he now has a very kerbed front wheel lol

 

spoke with her earlier and its arround the £550 mark i think showing times are hard compared to previous years but every little helps

 

Indeed it does!

Good work on this years stickers Jas

 

EFA

I am sure your intention wasn't to criticize the organisers.

It wasn't the run that was slightly disorganised it was some of the participants.

The "New" route had been put forward over a month ago with Sat Nav, Google Earth & written instructions. Not much more you can do organising wise other than drive the car for those that took the wrong route or got lost .

Ex "Map man" & Shell fuel finder for the ESC convoys of old.
