Good pics & vids.

Not many tin tops in the NW then

Nah, its baking hot up here 24/7 365  

just think the lights were more appealing to the cabbys..

Great Video Yomp! :clap:

That's great Yomp, although I'm sure the MK lot will want evidence of us actually purchasing something  :roll:

13 Mk1s plus a jogger  8O

Thats why I labelled it as the unoffical video because you can't see the purchases.

Heads up, probably first weekend in September Sat / Sun thing

its it worth going later on in the year?  The lights finish 1st week in november

reasons being

early sept its packed cause they have only just started.. as we found out  
it doesnt go dark until 8 so little un's will be struggling to stay awake….

if we go mid-end Oct.. the traffic wont be as busy and we will be able to set off thru earlier as it will be dark earlier (good for the little un's)
 :wink:

Thoughts?

Definitely up for this next time…..  but I will be going in the cabby this year again with the family late oct..
Cheers

have they fallen out? did littlerolf want to drive

Kim was 'casing the joint' for a future blag  

Get where you're coming from Tony which is why I'm thinking of doing it as a weekend thing next year. When it gets to October it gets a bit chilly for the beach n camping n that. I've a few ideas so will look into it but like I said I'll deffo be looking at more kiddie friendly event  :mrgreen:

It was just a shame we only equaled milton keyns drive through chalange. But i have to say well beat em next year :mrgreen:

Yeah…. we don't need flashing lights at night to get the 13 mk1's to Milton Keynes though  :mrgreen:

Still haven't seen the video evidence of picking up the stuff from the drive thru though… cracking vids and pics though!!… bring on the evidence then bring on Milton Keynes going for a bigger attempt  :mrgreen: … well done everyone!!!  :wink:

I was looking for Mutley trying to catch the pigeon.

Loving the video's well done for filming them.

yeah, yeah, yeah…. all in good time, all in good time!!!  

I tried to load it onto youtube last night and it failed on me 3 times. All going well i'll be dropping it off at PNERivage's house tomorrow and I'll let him do the honours… would it surprise you to learn that I still have a twin tape deck in my stack system??!!  :redfaced:  - Broken at the moment as well!!

Even tried to email it to Yomp so he could get it posted tonight but it wouldn't send.

As they used to say in the god old days of Regie Perrin, 'Cock up on the recording front' (onto disc that is!

Don't know why, but I'll try and rectify asap for Tony.  :wink:

Is your disc writing speed compatible with the discs you're using? An issue I've had in the past.

here's a teaser for you :wink:  .. (still got work to do yet on the Video)
