The Miss Banzai organised London Tunnel Run went extremely well! Everybody I have talked to that went was very impressed with the event, its scale, the organisation and the buzzing mood. Over five hundred Japanese cars were in attendance!

Here are some photos that were posted up on the Miss Banzai website:

Unfortunately the night didn’t go quite as smoothly for me as I would have liked.. I popped over Morf’s to pick him up and I noticed a very strong smell of fuel - eek! We poked around the car and noticed a massive fuel puddle under my fuel tank / burning hot exhaust. I was absolutely gutted not to be able to attend and had to console myself to a night of way too many Magners at my local.

I haven’t had a chance to properly examine the issue but it looks as though a fuel line has become pinched or corroded and when the fuel system is pressurised it comes streaming out over the top of the fuel tank. It looks like i’ll be keeping my 180 off the road until I can give this some serious attention :(

On the plus side I guess i’ll soon be writing a ‘how to remove your fuel tank’ guide!
