Looking forward to it now, car all sorted after being off the road for the last 3 months, Extreme Scoobys Paul did his magic, new water pump, fresh tax, fresh mot, service. Just for the tunnel run and now £600 lighter... then it's back in the garage ready for warmer times
This is THE Essex Scooby Crew event. Hopefully it can be as big as previous years.

Mine's quite the opposite. Went to get fuel this morning and passed 2 patrol cars, very hard to pass by them on tick over whilst trying to act casual.
I'm sure you can make plenty of other noises Nate.

I am sure you will make plenty of noise with the horn
I still remember you scaring the guy repairing a light on a ladder just before the Blackwall tunnel....... How he kept balance is beyond me
