Hindhead Tunnel A3

Do you know what they're up to? Or is it just cleaning/drains etc?

I've noticed some nice new tarmac down by the Cathedral bend. Shame that the surface over the little bridge bit is still shocking.

Is it? Though my car has suspension to iron out such blemishes.

Just 'cos you've got suspension doesn't mean you need to talk about it all the time! Jeeezzz :P

Cleaning Drains !!! this is Surrey Highways.
They cant even fix pot holes and complete basic highway maintainance without a a big drama.
So if its out of sight it ain't getting touched.

I raised this question at a local flooding meeting a few years ago.
After the County Council chap had tried to blame Thameswater for local flooding issues
caused by Highway drainage system problems.
He said well we empty the gullies on a regular basis - then showed him photos of gullies with grass growing out of the gratings = Of Course You Do !

Took the better half for an acoustic run through there yesterday morning in the Formula27. Didn't need to go fast - just stuck it in third and played the throttle in lane one.
Bonus was the DBR1 in front of us - now that was tasty - no-one on here I suppose?
Cheers, Pewe.

Who was driving the marked up 5 series police car through the tunnel at about 9:35 then as I went for a little blast?

[JonnyFive]

Nope mine's red and I haven't been out in it for a few weeks. I forgot just how awesome it sounds in the tunnel

[BusaMK]

Grey R35 running an aftermarket exhaust merely pootled through the tunnel tonight without any blips at all - shame on you!!

Incidentally saw an RS6 and a red R35 parked up at the Sports Park in guildford, anyone here?

Just a heads up...

Just went through the tunnel 10 minutes ago. Bib traffic car on the exit of southbound tunnel, also a bike in the area.

Drive safe.

No no you won't catch me doing a James as it is called,
It was no more than idle gossip at this stage, I will pm someone over the weekend.

Ps. John, this is what I was on about at MBW!

[Happy Eater]

Ah yes that MB SS must have been two years ago, the beachy head run was great a few months before,
You must have been on your way back from Canterbury

It was Dean I was talking on Sunday about a run down the A3 It would be good to coincide it with an event?

James - there is a slim chance I might get to Goodwood on Monday, it looks like it makes a great day of sprints?
