I woke early Saturday and fancied a bit of a unsociable hoon whilst the roads were clear all be it wet and greasy to give my GT-R a bit of a blast and myself a bit of stress release after a hectic work week.

Went to the tunnel and appears most of the artwork is starting to be covered over so guessing it'll be change soon potentially with new artwork. I'm no camera man but 2 of the snaps I took.





Wish I'd spotted this a while back would of loved to have come down and admired some of the cars and chat with fellow petrol heads.

Andy you will have to come over to the next Clophill Supercar Meet, I usually turn up and Albert (Knight Racer) came along to the last one . Keep an eye on this area of the forum, I'm sure Mohan will arrange something when the weather starts to improve next year.

Even if they cover one piece there'll always be a number of walls painted so pop along...

+1

There was a couple of the regular "writers" cars parked down there this evening so i assume another new piece is in the works...

It surprises me how quick some of these new works go up down there sometimes considering just how well detailed and applied they are!

Kinstondc5, feel free to send me a PM if you want an extra camera for your visit smile

Barry I'll keep an eye out as I'm only local to the area anyway and I know Albert from the Supra days, all the Carbon lowers on the GT-R even came from him.

Kingstondc5 you'll see in the background here one of the walls thats been covered. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f9/andyibiza/005... I can't say for sure if others have another on the other side had also been covered up but there is always still plenty of art in the tunnel otherwise there is another location I got wind of in Peterborough that is amazing and cars can get down.

It's the Serpentine tunnel under the A1260 you get to via Hampton. You can get a car down there but probably not supposed to, you have to sort of drive between a fence knocked down onto a bit of unfinished road where I think they're going to join Hampton Serpentine to the side where you have Kiddicare etc.

I have a friend in Peterborough going across to take photo's tonight who is going to check out whether he would take his car down there and report back to me.

Looks cool! Assuming it's ok to get cars down there, am thinking all the cars lined up while someone walks round with a video camera and the cars are revved as s/he walks by. Finally, finish the video with the cars leaving one by one!

Hi sorry yes! I keep meaning to send you an email. Will do!

Also would be interested to know in this new tunnel place.

Ps. if theres any Londoners about I know of a tunnel near Waterloo Station thats quite good (for photos though not for zooming down).
