I just spotted V8 NUT going up cheapside - either VERY lost, or on the way home ?

That car is looking madder & madder - I actually like the rear spoiler (Tuscan S?) and the diffuser looks great !

Thanks for all the organisation - had a great day, though I had to head home after the kingsway Tunnel.

Hope everyone got back safely.

Many that was an AWESOME run today, made all the more mental with the loony Moosehunter behind the wheel !

That was a LOT of fun being his passenger for the day - BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU !


Superb turn out, with a fantastic variety of brilliant cars from all over the place. Was a shame that some of you either got lost, or couldn't make it to the end but hopefully there are some vids floating about soon.

Ferrari lads, didn't hear you enough in the tooley street tunnels.
[maybe i was on the wrong side - doh]

Shame you had to skoot off to lunch, you should have eaten with us - at the swanky joint of Burger King just after the Dartford Tunnel.

Great day, many thanks all !

[Vid will be up after dissertation 1st draft]

Hi guys, Thanks for organising this. I had a great time although I couldn't hear my car (the silver BMW M Coupe) over the TVR's especially the silver cerb with furball decals. It sounded like a war going in in those tunnels! Look forward to the next one. I have uploaded some videos to google video. They are being verified at the moment and I will post up links once they are available.

I have to thank Eddie & all for the excellent day organisation, was the best boxing day i had for ages (certainly makes christmas worthwhile )
The noise of the day was deafening some of the cars were gorgeous looking too............viper, the red sag, the exhaust and bonnet on the cerb (yeah you know the one)
Also the audiences we had were comical, some of the looks and comments fom them shouting "more" to the 5000+ revs pops and bangs and thats at standstill at traffic lights. I would like to see some of their videos and photos.
Also the smokescreen from the Tuscan (i think, as i was about 20 cars back) but definately see it.
Telling mrs hood about it later i was like a little kid, and she was not happy with our son for her missing it (that's another story) but that means i HAVE to go to another one to take her aswell.............
