Was awesome, sound was unbelieveable!!!
Long story blah blah
Regent street was packed, and they were using the oposite side of the road to where we were standing to drive down, unlike the loop i was expecting. First of all the drivers went out in road cars who are made by their teams engine manafacturer. Coulthard came off best here as he got to drive the Mclaren Mercedes, where as whoever uses ford engines got to drive a street Ka.
After this the sponsers did a lap in their cars, including a Humm Vee (sp) and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
After them they sent 4 street cleaners round for the F1 cars. After they had finished they decided to park them on our side of the road completely blocking the view. Then the Riot nearly started as 1000+ people started shouting at them to move.
After tonight this is the most hated man in London as he was directing the vehicles to park, amount of abuse he got was hilarious!!
Finaly they did move them further up the street so blocking other peoples view.
They also put the Humm Vee and Rolles Royces down our side but further up so not blocking our view. However the people up there who had been waiting 3 hrs to see the cars could only see the side of a huge Humm Vee.
They then decided to start pelting it with whatever was to hand as well as chitty chitty bang bang.
After standing there for 5 hrs not being able to move at all my legs were fucking killing and took about 15mins to be able to walk properley as the backs of my knee's were siezed up.
Digi cam is broken so just had P800
