Well Ray ended up meeting me at The Ace Cafe on saturday for a bit of Halloween themed Tunnel Run.
It's a yearly event that I do if I'm not working, and has a great mixed bag of cars from TVR's, Porches, Lotus, BMW's, a few hot hatches and yanks too.. basically anything vaguely interesting and noisy..
Alot of the fun is from dressing up in Halloween gear, and decorating the cars too, mine was already 'camo stickered', so stick-on skeleton on the front grille, some Orange Halloween LED's, and a devil onesie completed my efforts. Ray looked fetching in a grim reaper get up as well.
There's a group of dutch guys that even make it over ever year, this time the came 6 cars strong in BMW's, Porche Carrera4 and a freshly built 80's Toyota drift car.. (all plasti-dipped to match in grey/black/white patch work, and stickered up)
A route was planned going out to Heathrow, and into town via Heston, Kensington and along the Embankment, and to Blackfriars, then across to the city, and back through Rotherhithe (twice), and up to Barbican, Farringdon and over the water to Waterloo and north up to Euston and back on the A40 to the Ace.
here's some of my cr@p pics, I'm sure Ray has some better ones, and video too..
