I'm not avin it, not on my patch. You and your, your, tunnel run. I'm going to call the environmental health people on you lot. I'm, I'm just not 'avin it. This is almost a section five. It's a residential area you know and this is my patch, I'm not avin it. Get in your cars and carry on north and never come back to the City of London.

WTF?? where was that? Didn't see a thing pal, we both must've been too busy trying not to get lost!

The only plod we saw were at Tooley Street - fair enough considering the size of the accident that had just occurred. Was quite funny when young plod stopped me to ask "what the hell are all these sportscars doing in London?"

Got stopped at London Wall doing nearly 50 kph Fairly decent chap told me off, said nice car, told me to drive slowly and not take the piss. Nice when you get a cop who has a bit off leeway

...got to say that IMO the policing was spot on everywhere we went. Obviously at Chelsea Bridge, but also in the City and further east.

The copper that stopped me at Tooley St (I think) asked me what was happening as his control room knew nothing about it...

I explained we had a Police presence from Chelsea bridge, etc and he was in good humour as it seems were all the BIB around last night.

They could have made the night impossible for us all so

How long before they do,my experience with cruises and runs(and ime not trying to be a killjoy)is that if all of a sudden someone in authority finds a "concern" they try to stop it if it becomes too big,i hope not for alls sakes.

They used to have a Bike meet in Odiham and when it got so big they tried to stop it,they did the same with the Guildford cruise

Here's hoping common sense prevails.

That was quite a surreal moment for me as several of us followed someone ahead like sheep straight through the accident scene, then all turned around and all went back through it the other way - the cops face was a picture

Well there may have been an incident in the Blackwall tunnel involving a couple of very loud Nissans, some excessive speed and an unmarked Mondeo with lights and siren on broadcast.

Luckily a disapproving shake of the head and a sheepish reduction to a more sedate pace was all that was needed.

Didn't see you last night Blairout. Are you sure you were there?

I thought the police were spot on at the bridge last night, I'm assuming Lambo Cop was one of them. But then again most people were sensible at the Bridge.

I think it summed it up for me as one police car drove by, the officer in the passenger seat was giggling away pointing at all the cars parked up!!

Accident, what accident? Nothing to do with the runners I hope.

We were getting busted as Neil came round the corner the other way somewhere near the Barbican. It went somethiing like VROOOOburble.

I think we got the flak as he was saying his control room had 25 complaints about noisy cars and fast driving.

Wasn't me guv, in that company my car was definitely in stealth mode.

Hilight has to be giving it big beans round Parliament Square with the London TVR crew. Suck on that lentilists, awesome

I guess that means I must have been there Frik

Prior to Buford T. Justice's pep-talk, the old rear tyres lit-up on the London TVR saggy a few times. Was unfortunate my own Tuscan was still in for repair so took shotgun seat with London TVR boys, thanks to them I got to go otherwise i would just have been sitting idley spectating!

I think the cop bust was because some other stuff had been through that point before hand, as we all heard over the radio that a couple of units were dispatched to Finsbury Square.

Some lovely cars there though and was well put together.

The tw@t that really deserves an ass kicking is the moron who kept driving his dustcart up and down Chelsea Bridge Rd. HE was responsible for a lot of the hold-ups. Absolutely mo consideration for other road users. Crawled along at 2mph with a massive queue behind him, stopping whenever he felt like having a better look at something. Muppet !!

Did you see the sign on the side towards the back? That might give you a clue why...



A lot of nervous faces around when he was going up and down

Three or four stopped in the end. Interesting converation....
"What you doing"
"Out for a drive"
"What, ALL of you?"
"Yep!"
"I hope you`re all driving sensibly....."
"Well, definately sprited, but not dangerous"
"Thats fair enough. Have a good night"
"Thanks"
"Nice cars btw, "

Saw the aftermath of the accident, seemed a car had not given way at the end of the tunnel. Not part of the run just in the same place at the same time

We were lost around Finsbury square, following a Saxo, a VXT and a black Chim when 3 Patrol cars pulled us over. The officer i spoke to just wanted to know what was going on as he'd had complaints from residents about noise. He was a top bloke and actually gave us directions to get back on course, one of his colleagues did book the Saxo for what I think was a number plate discretion though.
