Thames Bridges & Tunnels 2016

[adrianclifford]

This popular free charity event being run on September 24th is now open.

Details, the registration link and everything else is on the home page and the micro site and entries opened today. We ask for a minimum £10 charity donation per car and don't forget to tick the Gift Aid Box IF you are a UK tax payer. You can order a magnetic rally plaque too for £5, after costs any surplus money will go to the charity.

The dedicated web-site is in three languages as we have international guests joining us, it's in English, German and French please just select the logo you require. You will be directed to the MGF Register shop from there http://www.mg-tbt.org

Those of you who attended MGFIM last year will know the optional hotel at the end of the event, it's the same excellent Southend Airport Holiday Inn with the same discounted rate as before.

We have been asked several times to do it again, so here it is.

I hope you can join this extraordinary evening with us and meet some of our European friends.

Typo, Adrian! The correct link is www.mg-tbt.org.

Adrian, great news! We have booked.. For anyone else who reads this post my feedback after completing the run last time is an amazing event, fabulous sights and a challenging run! Can't wait to do it all again.

[adrianclifford]

Thanks Michael, corrected.

Thanks Janie, this is exactly why we're doing it again. I will say, it will probably be the last time we can use Simon's Diner as the whole stadium site is being demolished for housing early next year. If ever it runs again I need to find a new comparable start point.

Ya great idea! Had a great intro form Mykel and Adrian for this event in Houten last month.
i've booked, registered an donated.

can't wait!

And im bringing the new TF instead of the Trophy.

[adrianclifford]

Hi Camiel, good news. Do you still have the Trophy or did you sell it ?

[Camiel456]

I do still have the Trophy, still for sale tho.

But the TF is not on Dutch plates yet, still waiting on some documents that are in the UK. it was a ''damaged'' car so they still have the UK plates an registration which i need to get it on Dutch plates.
I don't really understand the whole progress to be honest

Brilliant website Adrian, and the event looks great fun. The Thames Valley region will defo be there

[adrianclifford]

Thanks Ian, look forward to seeing you all. Don't forget the Gift Aid and a plaque if you want one.

The website is as much Mykel as me, we do these things between us.

[adrianclifford]

Off to register.....

Well done James, please say hello as I don't think we"ve met.

[Kasper]

It's on the list of our oncoming events we did the first T&B and it was.......GREAT!

This time we will prepare a bit better to avoid to be in the car for over 20 hours in one day

We'll do some exploring locally before doing the trip by MG(T)F and I do hope the F will be road-legal and fully prepared by then, however a Steppy is great in the City, Ohhh used the TF in the previous run...... just hope the F will be prepared bu then:)



The lady says we'll do the run.....
I guess we'll be there



London isn't it Boris's village.......hmmmmmm

[adrianclifford]

Yes, at the moment but he may be in charge of the country by September having steered us out of Europe first.

[Kasper]

that could be a mind turner


on the other hand,

can't leave the people in a country in need without help

[Mykel]

I’m already preparing visa application forms for Niederrhein Tour, Kasper.

[adrianclifford]

The Schengen agreement will probably be gone by then too.

Oh joy !, queueing up at the border between countries again and a hundred passport stamps at De Poppe (with queues going back 20km's in both directions)

[talkingcars]

Off to register.....

Well done James, please say hello as I don't think we"ve met.

That would be good.

[Worzel]

Registered on the website, ordered Rally Plate, booked room at the Holiday Inn - Happy Days
Looking forward to our first TBT night

Mind you, might need a new exhaust for the tunnels, as mine is so quiet I was asked at Friends Round London if my MGf was electric

[adrianclifford]

It's not a pre-requisite of entry but it makes the evening more fun

[adrianclifford]

The route planning has started but, as expected London is throwing up problems as usual because of the extraordinary amount of building (Crossrail to mention but one) and roadworks another but test driving commences this weekend.

With this years route, for the first time you will cross every bridge from Wandsworth to Dartford and several tunnels and underpasses.

Come and enjoy yourselves in the greatest capital city in the world.
