Well done all.


1 thing I have to ask and its fao everyone who was in the SE convoy...

Did someone take a photo of my car on the M25 at some point (from behind me?)

Snap, spotted your car after the parade lap but alas nobody nearby who resembled you.
We'll have to catch up at JAE if you're going this year matey?

Oh? :lol:

Where did you get that from pmsl :lol: They were all pretty pants too :roll:

I didn't take any on the way up, not sure if Alex (2Crooky) my passenger did? :-k

But Becci, you weren't going any faster than the rest of the convoy were you? We barely went above 70 :cyclops:

I did get some video footage (though due to having to resort to the backup recorder, it's not great). Unfortunately I placed the mics in the wrong place (no practise beforehand!) and so whenever I'm going over probably 10mph there's serious wind noise.

And really it's not that great as I was at the front (almost) and pointed the camera forwards (not knowing where I'd be in the convoy) so there's really very little to see. A pace car, then a few MR2s (then more as we got overtaken by the yellows and blues!) all travelling slowly in a circle.
The exhaust appreciation tunnel bit ain't bad, but it's not great.

I'd upload it but I'm having serious issues trying to reencode it at the moment and don't really have time to edit right now. I'll try to get something up by the weekend, but no promises, and if I don't you're really not missing a huge amount. Believe me, the photos are much better! :)

Cheers mate - finally found someone who took a pic of my car! (It's behind the second Mk1). It managed to avoid the cameras all day and I left mine at home. :(
