Default ESC Tunnel Run - 27th October 2007

OK this is it the official thread for THE event on the ESC calendar

It's time for the annual ESC Tunnel Run

If you've never been before it is one of the biggest events of the year and last year we had Scooby owners from as far afield as Cornwall and Birmingham

Last year we had at least 130 cars including the mad, bad Zen Performance machine

We take in the dartford tunnel, limehouse link and blackwall tunnel. A quick stop at McDonalds and then back again.

Bring a map because someone gets lost every year

A route will be posted shortly.........



Whose coming then?

Welcome along mate, keep reading the main thread in the ESC section. It will be mainly names being added for the time being but the route will be posted up shortly.

It would really help if you had a walkie talkie to be honest.

Try and organise a cruise down from where you are it is all part of the fun.

As Wazo's says, forget about the distance just come along and prepare to be amazed. I'm pretty sure you won't have been on anything like this before

Ok here we go!

We will be meeting at the Crows Nest car park for 5pm ready to leave at 5:15pm. We will convoy to South Mimms services and should arrive there at around 6pm. We will be meeting the guys coming down from Midlands and Nottingham as we did last year. We will aim to leave South Mimms for around 7pm and convoy over to Essex getting in some practice with the 2 tunnels on the M25. We should arrive at Lakeside for around 8pm. Then the FUN starts.

Cheers
Iain

Important note.


As you know we are using this event as a fund raiser for our favourite charity. The Essex Air Ambulance.

Last year we were able to raise over £500 for them thanks to everyones generous donations (and Vegas' employers HSBC

This year we will once again asking for donations. Its not an entrance fee but we will be standing at the entrance with our collecting buckets

Nothing is compulsory, its all entirely voluntary but we would like to achieve something in the region of £5-00 per car. Most of you will have passengers so this shouldn't be too difficult. Any loose change would be appreciated so bring your loose change pots with you

Remember to keep lots of spare £1-00 coins for the tunnel though

Hope you understand.

We are pleased to be able to tell you that the nice guys at TOTAL IMPREZA MAGAZINE have agreed to come along and run an article on the Tunnel Run IV for their mag.

As you know TOTAL IMPREZA MAGAZINE is a brand new mag dedicated to Impreza's.

TOTAL IMPREZA MAGAZINE will be taking photographs and interviewing a few people on the night so make sure your cars are clean.

TOTAL IMPREZA MAGAZINE would also like to pick up a few subscriptions while they are down. If you havent seen the mag yet, beg, borrow or even buy one. Next month you may even be in it.

Have I mentioned TOTAL IMPREZA MAGAZINE enough yet?
