Great weather. Great turnout. Great sights. Route was a bit hit and miss though...
Suggestions welcome for the future, but I think that we need to avoid Buckingham Palace (that always screws things up), and we probably need to find another collection point to the east - possibly revert to MacDonalds. View is nothing like as good, but at least we won't be turned away by snotty security. In the meantime, I'll see if we can source another gathering point with views.
Also, although it's great having that many cars, I think that we should at some point break into more manageable chunks - say four / five cars. No way we can keep track of a dozen or more, although the effect on the public must be quite something I wouldn't know as I am usually the first to pass them and by the time the midfield arte passing, the look of awe must be er... awesome.
Happy with the South Ken collection point. Highlight was possibly the looks from the public on the Kings Road cruise, and the civilised collection point at the 96 Club. Thanks to Suzi for allowing the ASBOs amongst the classics. The Ferrari 250 was a great addition to the tour.
Also, I am selling a hardly used TomTom Rider 400 if anyone wants one.

Yes it was a fantastic turn out, best attended raid I've been on.
I would humbly suggest that rather than plotting a 'route' we lay out a list of 'spots' in order of appearance. Then groups or individuals could use their own route apps/devices to get there and either regroup and wait or move on to the next to regroup. How does that sound?
I have some Gporo footage that I will edit so as to try and get as many different cars in as possible. If anyone has additional footage I'll have a go at cutting those in as well if you want to send them to me (file size may be a challenge to send tho!)
Cheers
Nick
