Good job you heard/saw us screeching towards you, through the massive plumes of blue smoke - never saw so much smoke in my life! We missed rear ending you by an inch

Good to see you too Bob, although not sure I will be going to the next Tunnel run. Good to have done one but I prefer driving the car rather than being stuck in the London traffic....?

What time did you guys leave London, I think we lost you when we went to the Dartford Tunnel......?

Yeah far too close for comfort I saw you locked up behind me and the masses of smoke and moved forward as much as possible so you wouldnt hit me....phew..!

Mike, Im really sorry mate. Ive only locked up once before in my life - suddenly arrived at a blind junction one night, in the rain, didnt see it till the last and skidded for miles (in the V8S)

Todays incident probably scared us as much as it did you, although you did look exceptionally cool about it Thought we were both gonners there And the the amount of smoke was unbelievable

Hoons are great, but the spirited driving that was required to stay together was immense. You did really well thought mate, having not driven in London before (nether had we). I saw the bus try to squash you, and heard/saw you come squealing to a stop. You got left behind at every light/junction, but managed to keep up! The london drivers are also a lot more aggressive than in sussex, takes a lot more concentration too. All in all, we were on the road 10 hours exaclty today

Who had the nice blue S? I saw the car, but didnt speak to the driver. Boss cerbera hit the nail on the head when he said London was like a benny hill show today, with TVR's in tunnels, coming and going every where you looked. Yeah, the traffic was a bit much at times, but it was a bloody good day
