i would love to do a tunnel run - never been before but a bit worried about cameras in the and around the tunnels. Hopefully should have the anti-lag up and running by then too so should be fun lol

Did one with Rich Twells in my old cossie (when he owned it) MANY years ago now... was a big one a good few hundred cars - ANYTHING you could think of - including at the time a Ford GT which was very new back then.

Police were actually on side and organised to 'assist' and was a great event.

The smaller scale ones are probably less interesting but fun none the less.

ESC (Essex Scooby Crew) hold one for charity every year. Last year they raised quite a bit
2011's run was held on 22nd Oct

They take in the dartford tunnel, limehouse link and blackwall tunnel. a Have quick stop at McDonalds and then back again.

There was 144 Confimed and paid up at this one but there was also a lot more not confimed

Just have to do a wee surch on youtube under esc tunnel run

count em....

There is on coming up for JUST jap cars in March and many other the other scooby regions hold one or three a year so there is always a couple to attend

Hindhead is also good

Regards
Ian

I dare you to lol

Funily enough last years Central day at the pod i was going to bring my Scoob just for the fun of it as we were to be having a stand. Thought it would have been a giggle as i am a ford man but drive a Pro drive scooby as my daily. Bet our drive up and down and on the strip would have been rather interesting as i am not slow with 340 horses and in an impreza, thats quite quick
