Hey you all,

Good luck on your World Record attempt - being from Vancouver, and being part of the lot that helped to set that record to begin with, my only sentiment is that, it's about bloody time someone tried to break the record!

Yes, we had around 250 signed up, but as you can see, less than 200 showed up. It was a continuous procession of MINIs, the cops had to close an entire viaduct in order for us to create the procession. It was an amazing sight, to say the least.

Just to let you know, I believe we did this about 3 years ago - but it took over a year, closer to a year and a half, for the Guinness folks to finally rectify the record. Perhaps since you all are closer to Ireland than we are, you can get the folks at Guinness to speed that process up a fair bit!

Best wishes, I hope that you do make it happen!

Postie's been!

Will read my itinerary when I've finished on t'internet!!

And for those who are worried about the slow speed and maintaining a 2 gap distance - surely this will be similar to crawling traffic in a MW roadworks tailback, and we've all been involved in them!!!

EDIT: from the info pack (from GWR themselves)

" 4. The column of cars must be continuous. As a general guide, the cars should not be more than two car-lengths apart during the parade."

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Rush hour traffic in any large town or city is also comparable to what we're trying to achieve.
