The Camaro Club (UK)

Hi all!

Just a word of warning about that stretch of M25 east bound from Cobham services. There are two hidden speed cameras together on the left side of one of the gantries between junc 8&7. They're grey, smaller than the gatso's, and mounted on a separate pole with large blue connecting pipes running from them. I can't remember where exactly, but its on the stretch that was reduced to 50mph for a couple of years. I'll have another look this week when I go down there again. I was flashed by these a couple of weeks ago doing 80. Still waiting for the letter to come through. Not sure if I'll be lucky or not. Crossfingers.

Hope to make it to Brands for the Sunday!

Thank you for the warning Obi, i hope that it was just a warning flash and you won't get anything through. It was on the news recently that embarrassingly the M25 camera's haven't worked for the past 6 or so years. Apparently getting them all up and running will take a couple of years and the first batch should be working in a few months, so fingers crossed for you that they aren't ahead of schedule.

Update on the tickets, if your name is below, you will be sent tickets to your address. I have 10 tickets being sent direct to me, so i can give you yours at the Cobham stop / at the entrance of Brands Hatch. If you want my mobile number, send me a personal message on here and i'll send it to you. If you want your full name below shortened to initials just let me know and i'll edit this post.

Just not to confuse, main meet still at Cobham Services (between junction 10 and 9 M25), at 7am onwards to leave 7.30am..

We can do a slightly earlier M4/M25 meet for those coming from the West, here's a good place, and can refuel cheapish.. 1 min from M4, 3 mins from M25 - Esso in Shepiston Lane, Hayes.

Probably have to leave 6.40am though
