Gumball website says Regent Street from 12, although the actual cars won't be arriving until 6.

I took the train in from Inverkeithing. Train was pretty mobbed but it was worth it. I will probably never see some of the cars I saw today again. Even the bird enjoyed herself.

I was travelling back from London from 4pm yesterday and saw 3 GumBall cars on the way back

1 on the M40 and 2 on the M6 so the ones on the M6 were only going to get to london late on

You can just make out my car here, 5th one back :-)




Also, I was follong this Detomaso Pantera on the M6


It's just my luck that it turned out to be a HUGE coincidence that it joined the motorway at the same time that a few of us Southern SCD members were convoying up towards the main meet point at Bredbury Hall, but it wasn't part of the convoy. It was at the front of the "pack", I was second in line so following it, then all of a sudden I realised all of the other cars had turned off the motorway and I hadn't! Had to turn round and rejoin the group at Bredbury Hall, but honestly how often do you randomly see a Pantera driving along the motorway, and what are the chances of it also happening at the same time as a convoy of supercars is driving by?! Just my luck LOL

Pulling into the holding area with all the other supercar driver club members, before they moved us onto the bridge for the display;

All cleaned and polished, ready for the event.



Two way radio ready for the convoy :-)


The first car I met from the convoy


Then we picked up a Ferrari California and an AMV8VS


Then we got on the radios and met a yellow Lotus Evora, it pulled out of the service station junction just as we drove by.



Then us 5 went to the main pre meeting point at Bredbury Hall, where we met the rest of the supercardriver club guys;













Then off we all went to The Ethiad in covoy, 57 in total;

Some good pictures there, looks like a good day out.
Had the yellow F40 driver not heard of a bucket and sponge?
