[dunks]

What a fantastic day, Thanks to Granby for leading the way up there and thanks to everyone that made this such a joyful event

[big jay]

it was something you only do once in your life,i don't think you will ever see any think like that again!!!! It was a pain in the bum getting up so early but what a day!!! Still feel sleepy so i mite have a nap now -_-

Me and Matt ( he was in my dads scoob) finally got out of Prodrive at 7.20, we went up through essex to, finally got home just after midnight. A blue stickered up classic was broken down on M40 and 2 young girls were standing on hard shoulder a little way down watching there VW beetle burning, Then on 25 a recovery truck went past (a few times) with a silver scoob on back. Really long day again. but worth it.

[mikkers]

Was directly in front of scuzz and co sitting waiting to get out of prodrive, eventually id had enough and did a 3 point turn and went out the backway, past the control tower. I booted it out of the traffic and immediatly my windscreen fogged up so bad i had to crawl till it cleared, must have looked a right t**t. I passed loonybin twice on way back (love your graphics by the way) and then gurners close to home.

[eureka]

what an absolute fcuking prat! it's a good job you lot driving were quick enough to get out the way, as he was sideways in lane 3 he nearly took us out good job we didn't seem him again as he would of had a few choice words said to him out the window.

But on a lighter note a good day and for a great person!

lmfho good day but that mr2 was choice best drive in a while

Did i flash? sorry if not, only i wasen't driving. My brother took over from me just before Oxford as I was feeling too tired & diden't want to risk it (it's great when you have another person with you who's insured to drive your car too lol).

I overtook you, gave you a little toot. Cant remember if you flashed, i think i was asleep by then. Drove on autopilot most of the way home.

[daniel]

What a great day that was I loved it I've never seen so many scoobies in one place

[BLUE V LTD]

What a good day one i will never forget. Followed col2 home most of the way passede each other one than the once in more than one traffic jam went anti clock on M25 one or two slow parts. Got home at 9:40 one and quarter tanks of fuel and 332 miles later. One of the bast days of my life.

What a great day, for a great man and a son who's life was to short.

[mikkers]

Thats just about the same miles as me . When i pulled up to larkfield kebab house i had 330 miles, with about a tenner left from a full tank.

[Nudge]

Leaving lanark was an emotional sight and made me proud to have taken part, people lining the roads applauding and waving, and all for a great man. i eventually got out of prodrive at 7.15 and went in the shell garage on the A4177, was in there for about half an hour just chatting to a few dudes from essex and some gezzer from south wales, then for me it was straight down the fosseway (A429) with a couple of blobs in tow, great weekend 1100 miles and well worth it, only problem was a burst top hose just outside lanark, but with loonybins help and a few rolls of tape...sorted. oh and the small detour when we left banbury on the way to warwick, we ended up in a garden center with 30 others, wot a laugh... also had a chat with VBH walking back to the scoob.

was anyone else parked in isofts carpark at prodrive, did you hear the noise when we all started up to leave, what a sound to savour, it bounced around the buildings and made the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

Thanks to all you guys and gals for the convoy up sunday, great fun. wouldn't have missed it for the world.

[granby]

What a great day, the fog, the rain, the waiting around didn't spoil this once in a lifetime event

[fudge]

with Granby.. we endured a lot: early morning / fog / rain / waiting / Daz driving in a straw hat & gloves / more waiting and getting home totally stuffed.......BUT what a great day that we all will remember, and we shall always remember that day. cos there will never be another day that will involve sooooooooo many Scoobies !.

[mono775]

truely an amazing day - wish i could have driven the whole way from lanark - but i was able to do the sunday - i'm proud i was there and will remember that day for the rest of my life

[Jamessti]

Wow what a day. I didn't mind being stuck on the M40 for 1.30 hours or the nearly two wait to get out. Well worth it, it's a shame though it will never be repeated.

My friends Pics of the day

[scoobytibs]

this is very good i thought

[big jay]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[granby]

Another badly organised event which seems to be the norm with car events, but that doesn't stop us from making the most and having a great time, well done to KS for showing what a tight bunch of friends we are

Why was it badly organised?

[scoots]

Had a fantastic day good to be apart of something as special (even when we had to get up at doom o clock). Great turn out from all of us

Scoots,Mrs Scoots and bean

1210 miles and £250 lighter well worth it
