all20vt i bet the SV sounds great in those tunnels i have a silver SV1k with hi mount M4 and it sounds fantastic indoors in fact I nearly dropped it riding around inside the workshop at work! The rear wheel spins very easily on the dusty painted floor.
Back to the tunnel run.
I am very up for noise making. The Vette should be mended by mid week and I'm running Electric cutouts so can at the flick of a switch run 2x 3inch open exhausts!
Yes i have made children cry and one lady actually jump right into a hedge.

i cant think of many in bristol so narrow streets with tall buidings either side are probably a better bet, we saw some big modified trucks come back from truckfest whilst on victoria street which sounded awesome so thats probably a good bet.
park street is always a good giggle in something noisy, hotwells road from the pump house towards the centre isnt bad either.
the portway from hotwells up towards avonmouth has got to be a giggle as you go through the gorge and through the small tunnel under the suspension bridge.
Although they are residential streets, there is Jacobs Wells Road and the steep hill off to the left about half way up too.
St Michaels Hill?
Gloucester Road around the arches?

Hey P'H ers.
Was wondering what the 'Tunnel run' scene was like in 2015?
Im looking for like minded lovers of burbles and pops to resonate in some tunnels.
Im from the Bristol area, if there is anything on the horizon, Holler at me.
I only drive a Peugeot, but its throaty and makes me smile going thru a tunnel or low bridge despite its 4 cyclinders lol
though it requires a bit of right foot to get that tone right :P
But it would sure sound better in company.
Heres to hoping...

Wow what a thread revival!
We've not had a Bristol TR for a while, i think the last one i ran would have been around 2013. But if there's enough interest i can get on and organise one.
If not, if you want to send me a pm i can give you a list of some of the ones which we visit on the TRs.
