I'll be there, but I guess you knew that already :D

There is a lot of behind the scenes work going into this one, and it is for charity. Last time we brought the streets of London to a standstill so I can't wait for this one :thumleft:

Please do not use the main entrance to the arena please take the second entrance by the go kart track as shown in the image below

As you can see from the image which ive made as simple as i can lol, the area with the blue perimeter is where we all shall be parking, which will be coned off for just us, the red line is the way we will be entering and the green line is the way will be exiting simples.

Please register your attendance by visting http://www.justgiving.com/MissBanzai2009Take2 and donating your £5.00 entry fee. Donations made via the Just Giving site will go direct to the nominated charity, Bowel Cancer UK. Please remember to tick all the boxes to add 'gift aid' onto your donation -it won't cost you any extra, but the charity will be able to re-claim the tax on your donation!

Please remember when registering via the Just Giving site, on the final payment page, you will be asked for comments and nickname. In comments please put your club name, in nick name your forum user name -nothing else! (this list will be used to hand out the route maps of the run on the night.

You can pay cash on the night -however, as there will be a limited number of route maps -if you want to be guaranteed a map, we advise you pay in advance through the Just Giving site.

Please remember, advance payments can only be taken up to 12:00 on 10th October on the Just Giving site -after this time you will need to pay cash on the night. Note that in addition to the £5 per car, there will be a £1 per person entry fee into the arena on the night, to cover costs. Please bring the correct cash as change cannot be given!

Any questions, please drop a mail to [email protected] or we will drop by here to answer any questions anyone might have!

Remember this event is for *Japanese Cars Only* we will have marshalls on the gate at the arena to monitor this! Please remember to drive responsibly -anyone not doing so will be asked to leave the site.

Sky Insurance will be down for the evening to hand out a prize for the best car of the evening!

Our last tunnel run had an immense following, between 500-600 cars, so i hope lots of you can make it

well the info up there seems to be only about meeting plans / instrucions & payments etc..

Is it a car show? an event on the essex arena? A cruise to a hidden illegal car show (like in the good old days :wink: ) or simply just a meet up and drive through a tunnel?

Btw, im interested whatever. i like driving through tunnels :P

A bit of all of the above. :wink: :twisted:

All meet up at the arena. park up. have a bit of banter. get your maps. set off 12am good old cruise to the first location tunnel and then let all hell loose.

5-6 tunnels on the way should take about 2 hours max :whistle:

Ah ha! sounds fun! So does it all end back at the essex arena? or do people just leave as they get tired?

This sounds interesting, we may do this depending on money! Is it a legal event then?

Yes it's a legal event.. it's not a chav cruise!! [-(


We've got Essex Arena for the meet point to get everyone together.. you pay your £4 (per car) in advance on the Just Giving website (link above) and then that cash will go to the charity detailed above also..

When you arrive at the arena, you will need to pay £1 per person entry cash, to cover the cost of the arena.. marshalls etc..

You'll then need to come and find me to collect your map :thumleft:

We'll then start letting groups of cars out to do the run through London.

The police have been advised of the event, and the route.. so no messing about! ;)

The end point is a large area of London, that we have permission to use.

So nothing illegal about it, unless you choose to screw around.. my mates a police officer and he's coming in his Jap car! ;)

Last year was a good laugh.. it's not a race about.. it's a drive though London.. and a chance to chat with some random like minded people and raise a bit of cash for a good cause at the same time :)

We did the practice run on Friday, and it's a really good route.. better than the last one we did IMO :)
