Cannonball!!!

[beesma]

Anyone know of any good websites for pictures and news? i saw the TVR350R.co.uk and Cannonballeurope sites. We are sponsoring one of the cars so would like to get close to the action.

thanks

Did you go to the start?

There were some pretty amazing cars there

What a giggle!!!

i'm an unhappy man.

went over to victoria dock, didn't realise it was so large and had no idea where it was...

walked up to excel centre, then made the foolish mistake of crossing over the bridge as i heard it was by the airport... walked all the way around the airport to the next road bridge (with pedestrian access) which took near 1.5 hours!!!

got back on the DLR and then saw like 2 cars left in the excel car park

we were like 5 minutes walk away and chose to go in the wrong direction!!! arrrggghhh!!!!

oh well, we did see a Diablo, 360CS, Cobra, 911 and a Cosworth...

isn't Gumball starting in London next year, i'll go to that!

... I could be persuaded... especially if you get that Diablo that seemed to be tempting you!!!

Ah, what a motor...very tempted indeed and may go and take a look at it very soon before it goes to a lucky home somewhere...

yep, our guy is having an "interesting" experience. Got pulled for being involved, and was travelling at the speed limit at the time...got fined heavily and detained for a very long period of time...i am guessing they have taken the official site down intentionally.

[v15ben]

well thats 3 good reasons not to go

[v15ben]

can anyone put the pics online 4 me?

Apparently i no longer have an account with fotango!!

what do i need to do?

[v15ben]

Yep, those 2 ladies in catsuits were rather tasty,
The boys in the Merc S500 managed to get them as passengers for the trip to Dover (and they were only making sarcastic comments!!)

and I liked the plates on the Phantom and F150, anyone at the start will know what I mean!

good to see the spirit of the cannonball on full show!

v15ben, drop me the pics through my profile email and I'll host them for you.
