I'm looking for a new car, something with space and power, so an estate with a big engine. This narrows the search to 5 different cars, the Mitsubishi Legnum VR4, Nissan Stagea, Subaru Legacy GTB, Touota Caldina or an IS300 Sportcross. Granted the first 4 are 4wd, turbo and huge, but very rare (Legacy less so). So even though i have been looking at the IS300 saloons lately i only just remembered the sportcross. My budget is around £3.5k to £4k which would pick me up a rather tasty example of the others which all run approx 300bhp standard. My only stipulation is that it cannot be green. So what have you got?

URGENT: Everyone MUST remove all videos of the tunnel runs from youtube NOW! http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/fast-and-furious-tunnel-races-are-putting-lives-at-risk-says-mp-8281814.html

I hope everyone who turned up enjoyed themselves, even in the rain. I would like to take this opportunity (whilst we have a count up of the final total), to give big thanks to our sponsors. Firstly; The SSDA, learn to drift with the Slide School Drift Academy. http://www.learn2drift.co.uk please like their page on facebook: http://www.facebook....4209675?fref=ts Who furnished the winner of best car of the night with a free drift lesson. Secondly; Kleers car cleaning products http://www.facebook....!/KleersCarCare A nice 350z with full kit, wheels etc won our best modified winning some Kleers Shampoo, detailer and detailing cloth. A Skyline R33 GTR on a gnarly set of proper VOLKs TE37s won rocking rims, they won some of the Kleers soapy cloth wipes. The other collection of cars lined up won a nice Veilside T-shirt each. Thirdly: The winner of best car of the night also received a t-shirt from Skifle's Vinyls. http://www.facebook....Skifles?fref=ts Who also supplied all the tunnel run stickers, t-shirts and hoodies, of which there are still some available. Without these guys supporting us, the Missbanzai Tunnel Runs wouldn't be able to continue as they are, so please, go on their facebook pages and like them. Finally, a massive thanks to the Missbanzai crew for all their hard work, time and dedication, without which, these tunnel runs wouldn't happen at all, their facebook is; http://www.facebook....ups/MissBanzai/ and the forum is http://www.missbanzai.net Please join up on either and share your photos and stories/thoughts of your evening. Finally, thanks to all of you guys and girls who turned up, in the pouring rain, without you lot coming and supporting us, these events would not be the same or even worthwhile us doing, so our thanks to you. Next time, invite your friends!

Just over 24 hours left to register for the tunnel run and already over £1000 raised for charity. Get signed up if you haven't already!

Only 9 days to go, there will be limited number of special tunnel run stickers, hoodies and t-shirts for sale as well, so bring some extra cash for some very cool souvenirs to remember the night by.

The MissBanzai team will be waiting to collect your entrance fee at the field closest to the entrance at 10pm. Entrance fee is £10 per car - £8 of this fee will be given to Macmillan cancer care, this is all helping to go towards money being raised all weekend at JAE. £2 is to cover admin and printing costs. At approx 11pm when all the maps are handed out, we will be off to see the sights and tunnels of London. These will include The London Eye, Tower of London, Tower bridge and Big Ben… we will be doing some epic tunnels which include The Kingsway tunnel and the favourite West Ferry underpass to name but a few. So if you have heard of our infamous tunnel runs, but have never done one or you are a hard core tunnel runner and know what these are all about, get yourself, and your friends involved to help us raise as much money as possible for this very worthy charity. There will be a prize for Spirit of the Tunnel Run on the night, which will go to the car/team who have embraced tunnel running to the max! Details Starting point: Entrance field at Wicksteed Park Gates open: 9pm Price: £10 per car – Route map will be handed out on entry Gates close for entry: 10:30pm Cars leave for London: Approx 11pm The tunnel run will end at South Mimms services, where we can have some breakfast and then convoy back to JAE.

The MissBanzai London Tunnel run is only 20 hours away, open to all Japanese cars, over 280 people signed up so far, if you wish to sign up and join in, please go to http://www.justgiving.com/MissBanzai2012 and donate your £8 before 1300hrs (that's 1pm) today!

6 days to go, please make sure you make your donation on the just giving site if you wish to take part. By the way, from previous experience (not to say its you guys, I'm posting this on all the forums I'm posting on) we always get a few that turn up but make no donation and just tag along, as this is a charity event (and cheaper than a lot of static events) we feel this is quite unfair to see people take advantage this way. This is why, if we see anyone who is just tagging along this time, we will take down numberplates and name and shame them. We feel this would be particularly effective this time due to the amount of coverage we are getting now. So please guys and girls, make the donation and don't be a douche and just tag along! Thanks!

78 people signed up and donated so far, still a long way to go to beat our target! the last proper tunnel run we did had over 400 cars there, lets beat the record!

Anyone interested? Should be a good turnout this year.
