Please take the time to go to...
http://www.justgiving.com/missbanzaitunnelrun
and register your donation which will qualify your car to enter the Tunnel Run and give you a map for the route..

Quick notes...
If you have never done a tunnel run before the following is a good thing.
Remember you will be following typed instructions, with possibly a few sat .... locations and a few pics of maps.
We cannot supply map books to everyone, so a map book of London of your own would be a really useful thing to have in the car.
Also a co-pilot is rather vital.. you will be driving round London on a Saturday night so someone to read you directions and point out road names helps loads!
Walkie Talkies.. these are not only really handy, but really good fun as well.
SimonAirHeadz is the man to speak to with regards to what type you need.

If you have never done a Tunnel Run before, the aim of the night is to drive round London taking in as many tunnels as possible, and making as much noise as possible whilst going through them

We must note that the Tunnel Run is NOT a race, and MissBanzai do not condone any unsafe or dangerous driving.

Please cut and paste this on any other forums that you may be a member of as all clubs are welcome.

And don\'t forget.. it is in Feb, the weather will be pants cold/wet/snow etc.. This is not our fault, as much as the MissB staff like to think they are god like, we can’t do everything

See you there!!!!"

so theres a few rex\'s already, we gonna turn up in force ?? :3gears-rh

ARGH! Why does this awesome s*it always happen so far away from me! Lol! I\'d love to do it but i\'m stuck in bloody Glasgow! :(

doh!

well im definetly going, will be traveling down with an evo TME running a healthy 450whp!

anyone coming along the m4 corridor wanna meet up to turn up together then reply here! i still need to renew my mrc membership, forgot about that.

sounds fun!
the mrc ones might be better as huge force of rx\'s out ot play instead a mixed bunch.
would love to join but dunt think i\'ll have my fc back on the road.. unless i join in a merc lol

I keep saying I\'ll do these but I never do, i think paying a fee will make me this time!

That was a good run :)  Was quite a warm night for Feb too - I had the lid down for some of it.
 
Japgirls will be doing one in August - so watch this space for an annoucement on that one.

I\'d love to come, but following a brewery tour on afternoon of 28th, I suspect I may not be legal to join you...

mmmm Tunnel Run in mine lol - Too loud

Yeah we will be there

I\'m going to be bringing one more... how much are people donating to the cause by the way?

im there also helping with the organising

hey all, there is a few convoys coming from all over the place,

please join //www.missbanzai.com and look at the forum for details!

I am meeting at Reading with others, details below...

Going to convoy from Reading meet carpark -meeting 6.45pm to be leaving at 7pm.

Reading Gate Retail Park
RG2 0QG

Just off J11 of the M4.

(Where Reading monthly Jap meet is, by KFC, McDonalds, Comet etc..)

7:00pm

get got a couple of walkie talkies here

Kash - is Nis and Laeeq going?

how do you transmit on the same frequency with walkie talkies ? especially if they are a different make, does it matter ?

Was tempted to come along to this but not really sure can justify the petrol at the mo, still recovering funds from the PFC

Shame really as my navigational skills are pretty good.

I\'m in London now so cant really be bothered going to pick up one of the RX-7\'s to drive.

Remember the first 2006 Tunnel run, what an awesome day.

Hi Guys,
 
Would you recomend this as a first meet for a complete noob? Liking the idea to taking the rex through all those tunnels!

Quote from: philwhite;584871Hi Guys,

Why not :)
 
One thing I would say, if you\'re not familiar with the route they are using, is to tag on to someone who does know the way - as getting lost is no fun on one of these runs.  But one most of the runs I\'ve been on there has been someone who\'s not done one before or who has just got into jap metal for the first time.

Not sure yet, I\'ll find out :)

only a few days to go now! anyone else ?

I\'m going providing the weather isn\'t too bad, should be fun!

Shouldn\'t we organise to meet somewhere at a certain time?
Then go as a convoy of rotary powered madness :D

Yeah, I\'m going, does anyone know when we\'re getting maps etc?

Quote from: Rzla;587164Shouldn\'t we organise to meet somewhere at a certain time?

Definatly!! We need to make the propper entrance!!
 
But where would be a good place to meet? I\'m wondering if Bluewater would be good, as its easy to find and only a short hop to the services?

Quote from: Skifledanabit;587165Yeah, I\'m going, does anyone know when we\'re getting maps etc?

I think you get the maps when you arrive if you paid in advance, although from reading up it sounds like they\'ve all gone. I guess if enough cars go it should be easy enough just to follow someone (Unless they decide to go home lol)

Well iirc it started from Ace Cafe last time so maybe meet somewhere near there? Then make our way to the services?
Either that or Redbridge... which is where the rx7s started from last time to make their way to Ace Cafe

here is a link to a few convoys from all over !

im meeting at Reading Jap meet place (medjeski stadium) at half 6 with 10 others or so then leaving at 6:45

then meeting people at south mimms... then off to thurrock!

weather looks good! sunny intervals all day saturday then mild temperture and cloudy in the evening!

A-z maps have run out so you have to supply your own, however the Maps of meeting points etc are still available but only to people who have paid to the charity website! see first post for details...

IIRC I signed on reasonably early... Maybe a set of GPS locations will suffice... log them all into a sat nav and chocks away
 
EDIT: just read on the website you don\'t get the maps until the night

anyone else??

Quote from: markrx7;587572anyone else??

yep im going :) theres over 200 cars signed up so defo wont be a let down!

my days! only thing that could let this night down is the weather! but even that looks sound :D

it will be good to meet a few people there and put names to faces so dont be shy to make yaself known to me :)

oooo...that would be very convient for me i may come down madjeski with you guys later if i can get some other people to tag along. on a side note did you bring your rex to little knocks recently?

get your pics up asap!! I\'m at work untill 06:30 tomorrow!!! :( need some rotortherapy at these stupid hours!!!

can\'t believe im at work and missing this!! ahh well 8.5hrs to go :(

was an excellent night, was deafened both ways through the blackwall tunnel the only time we made it through in the convoy, was like driving through fog with the fumes from the redlining skylines, evos, celicas and rex\'s, managed to meet one guy from here in the car park... the route through town wasn\'t very well thought up though, by the time we hit elephant and castle the convoy was all but scattered to all points of the compass.

managed to fight my way through to old street via bank, over london bridge and rotherhithe and onto greenwich and the dome... good night had by all... especially the lost ones... may still be stuck ina ring road around kingsway now! cheers to everyone at Miss Banzai and i hope there was a lot of money amde for the cause!

Noticed a few of you in this video... about 3 mins in onwards.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEY1_M-fZv4


Any pics or videos anyone?

I went and really enjoyed it, especially the initial meet, I\'ve never seen so many jap cars in one place! Did spot a few other RX\'s but didn\'t see any owners to have a chat.
 
Once on the run we seem to have lost everyone by the blackwell tunnel, i don\'t think the lights that let 2 cars a time thru helped really with the convoy! We called it a night soon after but still had a great time, we took a few photos which i\'ll try and upload later...

yeah was a good night for sure :D

I see the usual suspects were in the thick of things:Giggle



rgds

Brian

well, i had to guide our little convoy (the one in the vid above) when we came out of the blackwall tunnel, but the lights just split us right up, which was a shame, i was just about to appear in the vid when it fades out and says lost... dammit!!!

Quote from: TTMan;587807oooo...that would be very convient for me i may come down madjeski with you guys later if i can get some other people to tag along. on a side note did you bring your rex to little knocks recently?

hey dude, yeah i did actually, thinking about a full blow over on my car with a couple of other things looked at!

where did you see me ? I came down with my mate in his 200sx and an evo 6.

real good night! i cant believe how many cars turned up, was over 250 easily! cant wait for the next one :)

never saw you mate, my brother works there so i usually hear about any rexes going down there lol. just got mine resprayed there after i crashed in the snow they do a good job :D

yours wasnt a black one was it ? i saw one there which looked like it had a front and back bumper resprayed?

you rate them fairly well?

the guy i spoke to was really helpful! maybe you can sort me out some extra discount ;) hehe

nope mines white and got full respray (well something like that!) yeah i rate them, obviously i am going to be biased, but lets just say they REALLY sorted me out for my respray. depends what u want doing on discount, may be possible depending if they do it out of work hours but dunno if they would do that for someone they dont know....let me know what u want doing and ill see if my bro fancies taking on some weekend work for a bit of cash :)
 
i know a lot of official dealerships like the ford garage up the road in wokingham use them so they must be good, before buying my fd i had a Fiesta ST which had the spoiler ripped off as they are so shoddily put together, that was first one they had in there but now they get multiple STs a week in from Inchcape which have had various panels repeatedly nicked. Keep paying them to rebuild them lol :)
