monkey3 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I might be, but I've already made plans, so I'll try to cancel and then go along. James, btw, sorry already, but I got a number plate like yours but a P reg. But in my defence, I did get it before I met you and saw your plate.

geoffvalenti Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 anyone going:read: I must admit that I'm tempted, but with 120+ cars, there's bound to be one or two idiots trying to smash themselves up and take out anyone who happens to be nearby, attracting unwelcome attention from the police It also depends on who's leading the convoy. The sheer practicality of trying to keep everyone together is a logistical nightmare. Unless you're in the first half dozen cars or so, you'll always be playing catchup and run a high risk of getting flashed by a camera when your attention was focussed on trying to keep up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I don't think it'll be too bad at night with the less traffic. I know that they have had the odd bit of trouble from the Police, specially at the start before. i think we should do our own, possibly using their route.

Branners Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Ray, I probably missed it but did you have your supra rebuilt after your encounter with a large red unstoppable object? JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tunnelmeister Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Common dudes itl be a total shambles but wtf itl be a laugh:rlol: Encouraging words, thanks for those... If anyone is planning on attending please remember we do not race the route, the idea is that all cars have a map and can make their own way around the planned event with collection points on the way to re-group and an opportunity at the end to have the mother of all photo opportunities !! The Tunnel Run organisers do not condone any bending/breaking or smashing of the rules of the road. Friendly BIB will be in attendance throughout the event, do not compromise this, them or any future tunnel events please. Enjoy and i look forward to meeting some of you this evening !
