Well done everyone. Well deserved world record and a fabulous final total.

Breaking this mini convoy record is becoming very popular, will be an olympic sport soon

I'll pass on going to Beijing for the next Olympics though and wait for London 2012.

Hi Laura

It's just a trick of the light in the photo, the wheel arches were only the standard UK ones
