Well done Mark for an awesome event, I couldn't believe how many had turned out for this, there must have been hundreds of jap cars there, also a handful of vettes (drool).

 

Not many 300ZX there mind, apart from mine I only saw two others, shame.

 

I've got a few videos from my 'last minute bright idea camcorder install', I'll get them up when they've uploaded, I'm sure there'll be all kinds of photo's knocking about too because there were camera flashes going off the whole time.

 

Again Mark, like I said earlier I don't know how you managed to pull this off, but well played mate.

Really wish I could have been there for this. Makes me really wish I was back living in the UK again. :crying:

 

Nothing like this would ever be approved legally in Ireland. !!

 

I hope everyone involved had a great night and much needed funds were raised.!!

Was a fantastic event got there at 11:50 so i would say i was nearish the back of the pack and i think i managed to get the run dun by 3 in the morning lol. Only seen one other 300 that i have seen in nissans car park i have lots of vids and some pics ill up load them to day and post a link when its up.

It really was a fun filled evening. wasn't expecting such a good turn out. pitty the weather was so awful. Think it was £10 well spent.

 

I blew a boost pipe off in my first run so when i went through the second time i had no boost at all. searves me right for rushing the job friday night of trying to sort a squeeky fanbelt, forgot to tighten up the clips.

 

i hope this does end up an anual thing, but preferably in the summer next time.

allthough if they do decide to check the cammeras i can see quite a few instant bans being dished out. maybe even jail time on some instances...

I was in the 3rd group and we went through at 12:45, run 2 was done by 2am.

I have posted my vid in Pics/Video/Media part in this forum more coming soon.

Well what can I say,

 

Thanks to everyone that made this happen, In particular Tamsin Greulich (TT2), Ron Henderson (TT2), all the TT2 Staff that braved the elements on the night, Max Boost (NESF), our own little Gizmo (so.com), My Mrs Lesley - Max Boosts Mrs Tracey and there daughter Jade For selling the passes all night, RX Jamie (NEMM), J-M Imports & The GTR Shop

 

The event had a massive turn out, the Main car park was flooded and the entry point in was to muddy to put cars through, I stood in it and sank around 3”. This caused a little traffic chaos but we did the best with what we had, this meant a longer waiting time than expected which I can only apologise for, however this was totally out of our / TT2’s control

 

Other than that it seemed like everyone including the tunnel staff enjoyed the night, there was a massive variety of cars on show through out the night, Skylines, Evos, Supras, Scoobys, Starlets, Celicas & many more

 

The amount raised was just shy of £2,000 im sure with a little nagging I’ll get that up to the £2k mark

 

It was great to see lots of old faces, and meet plenty of new ones. If I didn’t get the chance to stop and talk sorry.

 

Some great pictures and videos emerging, keep an eye out for the features in the Total magazines and Banzai

 

 

Lastly

 

THANKYOU!! To all that turned out in the poor weather and stuck your hand in your pocket for this great cause – Metro Radios Cash 4 Kids. I Hope you all enjoyed the run which as far as we can tell is the first closed tunnel run of this type in the United Kingdom. Another first for the Northeast & Skylineowner.com

 

All the Thank you texts / calls / Forum posts over the last day or so are much appreciated, I’ll keep thinking up new ideas and continue to bring events like this to the Northeast as it’s something we are definitely lacking! Also makes a change from the usual sit in a car park meet lol

 

Oh and for all that asked I managed to get my run done near 3:30 am lol not bad being there from 10:20 lol
