Okay all this chat about Tubi's has got me thinking.
should we arrange a run from say Egham into London, taking in the dockland tunnels / stop off at a wine bar / pub for a quick drink then back..

No silly speeds !!!!

Okey...

Already sounds good.
manu, I sent you my new mail address....
Sounds like we are going to have a good turn out..
not really sure about giving the cars real stick.. we can organise a track day for that..

just some good fun 8.5k in third, overtaking each other in 2nd and 3rd for the heck of it.. besides in town 50 feels like 90mph

The more tunnels the better..
Okay lets start zoning in on a date.. I suggest a Sat evening..

from 8pm till about 12pm..
someone better suggest a week.. ( I after 12.03 as I need to see Charlies toy split Flames !!

TrackDemon.. the more the merrier... only reason I suggest London is cause we don't have a choice to speed... hence speeds are nice and sensible... we all go home with cars lives and licences in tact.... If we went out somewhere remote we will all be hitting 150 and then you have big problems of we get stopped or if some one loses the car..

There will be pockets of open roads to open up.. thinking of Knightsbridge, A4 from Chiswick flyover into London... Docklands....
West End about 12 should be more than quite for our needs...
how about March Sat 15th or Sat22 ?
Okay

Day should be a Sat.. Time 8 pm to 12..(or when ever the cops give chase)

TRACKDEMON said: The guilty party was indeed Ninja - his car is bl00dy earsplitting now, flames look quite cool too! Excellent fun, b!g thanks to Ken for arranging it and congratulations to the 550 for keeping up with me - shame nobody else could!! Some of the looks we got were classic... Can't wait to see the vids - manu, you've gotta ride with me next time and we'll get some serious powerslides happening. On that private test track I know



TrackDemon
we were trying to keep the speeds sensible.. plus stone chips, not breaking up the convoy and all that.....
It wasnt hard to keep up.

Guys to hear a tubied 550, two 360's and one insane 355 Spy, plus a TVR and 911 through the tunnels at full chat was just sweet.


Itescol nice when you hit the rev limiter in second.!!!!
Ninja your car through the tunnel with flames on the up shift is something I will remember for a long time.
nice to see the boys in blue can be friendly.. One pulled up to me and said to my passenger..' I'll race you and he started to rev the engine on the Police van

Trackdemon.... you need to take some advanced Road drivers course... Good skills. ps whats that sound your car makes.. is it super charged ?

Looking forward to the next run, again no silly speeds.

trackdemon said: Cheers Okey, maybe we take it easier next time!!



you and Itescol had a personal thing going then.. so just stayed back and watched..
It was good fun though.. bet you need new tyres...
All I could smell in the tunnel was cooked brakes and smoking rubber.. not to mention burning clutches..
still have a headache from all the noise.

Are you into track days ?? cause I am as well so we could always get together on the track sometime..

Cannot wait for the next run.. !!!!!
