I was behind the Granada, cerb, and something american who all left "enthusiastically" and there were some guys standing near the exit looking like they were filming...
Ah, you are the tvr driver that was behind me I can assure you that the low lying cloud near the exit was nowt to do with me
Do love that little TVR though

Enjoyed the meet, although for me it will turn out to be expensive ' first time I have used the M25 since they finally removed the roadworks.
I can tell you from tonights experience that the new hidden cameras between junc 6 and junc 5 are working
They are sited so high up you can not see them, especially when it is dark.
Shame the bds don't spend the money on repairing our third world roads.
Mate the cameras aren't minted high. If you look at the gantries to the far left there are some new posts about 8ft high with two mini gatso type cameras on them. Spotted them being fitted a short while back and see them in action last night. Like a f'ckin photo shoot. Joining from junction 6 going back home towards the m26 I counted 3 new ones and see two flashing at people passing.I can tell you from tonights experience that the new hidden cameras between junc 6 and junc 5 are working

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I got flashed a few days back at 68 in a 70, so I don't think they're working right. I go past them all the time and the amount of times they flash, if they were issuing tickets they'd never keep up with the paperwork. It's literally every other car getting flashed from what I've seen.I can tell you from tonights experience that the new hidden cameras between junc 6 and junc 5 are working

Cheers, I was actually flying blind for 20 feet or so the tyre smoke was so thick! We did make quite a racket on the way back to the A25 between us though!I can assure you that the low lying cloud near the exit was nowt to do with me

I do have a little dashcam footage as we were leaving, could post if people don't mind their registrations on it (probably just yours mk2 24v) PS - does your car have the cosworth 24v 2.9 cologne?

Can't see any reason not to post up a video link though
And yes, it is the 24v cosworth lump. But not 2.9 anymore

Nice meeting everyone today as it was my first Pistonheads meeting & great that the weather just missed us. Just in the middle of sorting the photos and will get them up
Saw your green Jag in Crawley this evening heading towards Sainsbury. Even my mrs said it was a nice colour A friend and I drove down in my MR2 tubby, arriving around 8. Bit disappointed that people started leaving around 9, but understandable with the clouds of death looming. Just would have liked more time to chat with people.
Anyway, thanks to organisers and everybody who came - lots of lovely cars to gawp at, and I hope my MR2 caught the interest of some, despite being tucked away at the edge of the concrete car park. Don't judge it too harshly as i've only had it a few weeks and is a project
Highlights for me were the Noble, AC and Turbo Civic
Oh, hope that video pops up. I'd love to hear my car from an outside perspective. I gave a little squirt, but got to be responsible in these times

The pic in your profile - if I'm not mistaken you have changed your wheels since that was taken.Couldn't make this one as mine is in the bodyshop having the stone chips taken care of.
Not to mention a couple of dings caused by careless parkers, plus some keying my NSF wing.

A bit of poor dashcam footage. Unfortunately the chap in the blue Pontiac seemed to have some traction issues under the bridge...

Yes well spotted. The rear tyres were shot on my Sparcos so I put the spare set on. Also getting the Sparcos refurbished Couldn't make this one as mine is in the bodyshop having the stone chips taken care of.
