Probably get flamed for this, if its not appropriate or has too much detail please delete!

Highlight for me today was the spirited driving displayed by many of the participants. Nothing ridiculous, or IMHO dangerous, just all having a damn good laugh.

half doughnut u-turns, wheel spins and rapid acceleration, all down whitehall was frankly brilliant!

laps through westferry circus and the railway arches (cant remember where it was) also fantasic, couldn't decide whether to park and watch or keep driving around myself!

Had to have a chuckle at/with the group who seem to have just fallen out of a bar in the railway arches too, handing out water to the cars as they passed! cant say I drank it, probably laced with something exotic smile

I got horribly lost on a couple of occasions, but it was definitely better than last year, here's hoping for an even bigger turn out if we get treated to one in 12 months time! smile

What about the nightclub turning out. Anyone else see the full drag queen with Pink hair & Boots? I was laughing too much to grab a photo

that particular club (SE1) is notorious for not shifting much booze, if you know what i mean.

It was fun laying some rubber down in front of Downing St! biggrin But i didn't see anyone doing anything silly or dangerous which is good as that can spoil an event.... lots of space on whitehall anyway!

I wonder if they thought it was some sort of fuel price protest or something?!

Given the wet roads and general level of high excitement, i thought that everyone did very well to maintain so much traction

Having singularly failed to copy the antics you mentioned, do I take it the more modern TVRs all have limited slip diffs? After just wheelspinning pathetically round a normal U-turn I sheepishly decided to behave! biggrin
