Tunnel Run V - Charity Collection
 

Well done everybody, we managed to collect an amazing £1,226.98.

This is approximate as we still have a number of DVD's to sell and some stickers (that we didn't have available on the night).

We really would like to thank everyone who gave so generously on the night, in particular Wozzaa's company who donated the stickers and especially Bibo Boy who spent hours of his own time on preparing the DVD :notworthy :notworthy

Thanks also to B3n who very bravely leapt out in front of cars waving an orange bucket all night. :notworthy :notworthy

Well done lads, top work!

I have an idea for next years run, merely a suggestion not trying to rock the boat or put down anyones hard work but would it possilbe to have some say 'tax disc' sized stickers rather than the big ones as a lot of people aren't into graphics on their cars or maybe the choice of big or small?

just a suggestion, cheers for a top night :)

Jonny

Great idea, we'll give it a go:thumb:


All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Its allways good to be part of this event . great night only got lost once ..lol , Same size sticker for me next year ...

Yes big stickers are good for covering up the rust spots:norty:

Yeah because yours was covered in rust :lol:

LOL (not mine)

Where did ya all go. I got lost!
Had a great time though. Big thanks to all the organisers:luxhello:

We all got lost mate, Chris and I drove 6.9 miles past the maccy ds lol i came back but he went home because his scooby wasn't well!

It's a bit of a logistical nightmare although still fun, i'm actually in two minds about wether or not i'd want to do it again, was deffo good for the experience though and lots of dosh raised for charity so all good :)

Oh shame, I thought I was the only one who got lost coz I ended up on my own. Not a scooby in sight:wonder:

How did the tomtom files work out?

They didn't mate lol I put them in the itn folder and they were in there but loading them was a nightmare it just kept saying things about waypoints. I did my best with it, when we were going over the qe2 bridge the route was 'green' then when we got off the otherside it wasnt (same coming back through the tunnel) then it didnt do anything else the est of the night lol

I think it was my lack of knowing how to set it up on the tom tom!

This route and instructions etc seemed to be a rpoblem i must've had 30+ people pull up next to me at traffic lights and on roundabout asking if i knew where the hell we were supposed to be going or if i knew the way lol

In the end our one saving grace was some guy in an orange seat ibiza thingy, he seemd to know the way :notworthy and Chris who gave me the postcode for maccyds! After macys we went straight home, i wasn't going to get lost again!

Like i say, good experience and for a great cause, probably not for me next year though :thumb:

Jonny

oh well won't do that again then :lol1:

Getting lost is part of the mystery of a tunnel run, we used to go through the heart of london. All you had to do was keep the river on your right hand side but we still had people crossing the bloody bridges :brickwall

LOVE IT :D

i set the tom tom up at mine (wolverhampton) and didnt have to touch it till got home, it got me round london sound mate couldnt of done it without it lmao ..... only question i have (may sound stupid) i think it missed the dartford tunnel out as i ended up going over the dartford crossing(well somethin like that as dont know london at all lmao) other that was sound

great Result and a good ish night out. Had some technical issues which really spoilt the night for me sure I can get her all sorted out tho.

Big thanks to JonnyUK1980 for his eagle eyes spotting my temp gauge going through the roof ha ha 2.1/2 hours later I limped back to MK after doing 40 with the heater on full. Nice to see all the local guys had a fun night out and looking 4ward to next year lets hope I do more than 2 tunnels. :thumb:

Could we do the run later at night next time less issues with traffic and therefore getting the group split up.

thanks Milamber 4 all your planning etc :thumb:

Yeah i remember saying to you when we were in that layby "here mate , is your temp gauge knackered or is your car really that hot" never seen anyone move so fast!
Also, thank god that mercedes saw you pulling out into the middle lane you are one lucky guy, there was a massive "wwwwhhhhoooaaaaa" from inside my car lolol all part of the night!

I got a couple of pics of your car at south mimms.........

thanks for the photo do you have the top one is full quality would love a copy if you have it (eyrecj@btopenworld.com). Nice to meet you

Well done all, we only got lost once when TomTom decided that the route was over and we had reached our destination, had forgot to press "start navi" !! d'oh.

Got to Maccy's and it was too busy to find a parking spot, so took a slow cruise home. Did spot a few en-route back north on the motorway. see you all again soon.

Didnt get lost at all this year which was lucky!!

Had a great time although the RA used bucketrs pof fuel!!

Although glad the car made it without blowing up,, oh and hodgey if you read this YOUR CAR IS TO SLOW!!!! :lol:
