Back for the first time in 2011, we present another London Tunnel Run, hosted by MissBanzai.com inviting all Japanese car owners!
Please read the details below and follow the donations instructions.
*** Note this is for Japanese cars only - no exceptions.. non Jap cars will be refused entry ***
The run will kick off at Essex Arena (RM19 1AE) on Saturday 12th March from 9.00pm. Maps will be handed out on arrival to those who have pre-paid through the Just Giving site. There will be no entry to the site after 10.30pm so please arrive on time.
Please register your attendance by visting http://www.justgiving.com/MissBanzai2011 and donating your £5.00 entry fee. (Please put user name & club in the comments).
Donations made via the Just Giving site will go direct to the nominated charity, Lupus UK. This is MissBanzai\'s 6th tunnel run and we decided that this would be our chosen charity for this event. One of our long standing members is currently being treated by the Lupus clinic at UCLH, he has yet to be officially diagnosed, but has been receiving treatment for this condition for the last 7 years. The clinic suspects that he has ‘chemical induced Lupus’, which may have been caused by the jabs he received before going out the Gulf where he was based serving with the Royal Airforce.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the body\'s immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal, healthy tissue. This results in symptoms such as inflammation, swelling, and damage to joints, skin, kidneys, blood, the heart, and lungs.The main sufferers from Lupus are normally female, developing symptoms around either puberty or menopause and in most cases it’s a hereditary disease passed to female member of the same family. Only 1 in 10 sufferers are male and of those only 1 in 20 are under 30.
MissBanzai felt this would be a very worthwhile charity to raise money for on this occasion and a show of support to one of our members.
In comments please put your club name & forum user name - nothing else! (this list will be used to hand out the route maps of the run on the night -there *may* be a limited number of maps on the night BUT this is NOT guaranteed).
-Please arrive at the arena no earlier than 9.00pm. PLEASE NOTE you should use the go kart track entrance to the arena.
There will be a £1 per person cash charge entry fee on the gate to cover the arena hire costs.
-Payments for maps can only be taken up to 13:00 on 12th March on the Just Giving site. PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER AFTER THIS TIME or you will not be included on the list of maps for us to allocate on the night!
If you do not pay you are not guaranteed a map.
-Entry is £5 for a map (prepay on Just Giving) and £1 per person in cash on the gate to the arena on the night to cover the arena costs.
-This event is for Japanese cars only.. nothing else! There will be marshalls on the gate.
-Please remember to drive responsibly - anyone not doing so will be asked to leave the site.
-You will need to bring sat nav / London A-Z for when you get lost. A passenger / map reader is also essential!
Sky Insurance and other companies will be awarding prizes on the night for the best turned out cars of the evening. The prizes could be awarded to any Jap cars from Civics to Skylines... so get polishing!!! Prize to be confirmed
Hope to see some of you there! Any questions, please drop a mail to missbanzai@googlemail.com or post your questions here! We had approx 450 cars from various different Jap car clubs along last time, and have raised over £10,000 online for various charities to date, so make sure you come along and be part of it this and help raise some cash for a very worthy cause!!
I missed this last year but hopefully won\'t miss it this timeeee, all for a good cause too! :)
so, anyone else coming?
Yes, if my FD hasn\'t sold
Im in,:burnout
Keith.
Ill be along to this one as usual.... Fingers crossed
I\'ll be there. really enjoyed the last one
buuuuuump up to the top you go, come on you lot, there was loads of interest in the last one!
Seems like the RX7 boys don\'t like to come out to play much
there\'s plenty of RX8\'s on here too Aston, don\'t you worry lol.
oh and bump btw :D
Come on guys, it\'s time to show the pistons who\'s the daddy!
Only 9 more sleeps to go, get your donations in to the just giving site!
5 more sleeps and we have just broken target, lets keep it going!
Is there even anyone going from the MRC that owns an RX7?
there are obviously a few RX8\'s going to this one but it seems the RX7 owners once again dont want to come out to play
I\'ll be there in an FD
there were quite a few FDs there last time, not as many as there were RX8s, but certainly more than other Rotaries
4 sleeps to go, its been slow this year :( I hope some of you are just waiting until the last minute... this is it!!!
Might be able to make this
Go on Charlie, you know you want to!
I "Might" come along, but can\'t play as I m still running in the engine. Aston, can u let me know the route u r goin to take, may tag along with u..
2 more sleeps!!!
Mir, are you talking about the route to arena essex or the tunnel run route? Because the tunnel run route will be the same for everyone. Anyway, even if you are running your engine in, you can still perve at all the other jap metal (plus you DEFINITELY won\'t get pulled lol)
If your running in it\'ll add a good 100 miles too. Can\'t lose
Please be aware that inlight of the earthquake/Tsunami that has hit Japan as a mark of respect we will be having a 2 minutes silence at 11pm just before everyone leaves to go into London.
Please respect our wishes by turning off your stereo\'s/engines and observing the silence.
We are after all in debt to this great nation, as without them we would all be driving round in VW\'s and BMW\'s
Could you please make sure you spread the word that this will be happening.

BTW, we are doing it a bit differently with regards to parking this time, the people that get there earliest will be parked nearer the exit, so will be first to leave, rather than them being the 1st to arrive and last to leave (which is slightly unfair on them)
i had my name on the list for this run but my car went to my friends garage to be looked over because fuel cut problem... so no FD for me at this run :(
but i am jumping in my friends little Mitsubishi colt Ralliart, so still attending this.
hope to see a few RX owners there.
Yup, you\'ll see my FC up in the main area, a few more dotted around, hopefully more though!
Well turbo gasket is now blowing slightly :( and no time to replace it........ Still going I\'ll just be a bit louder:)
