Fancy pulling another one together this summer? I'm in a similar situation with working away but I don't mind helping out where I can.

D
Let me check my diary to see where I am, and also what car I can borrow. Sold my toy as it spent all it's time at Manchester airport car park :-(
Funnily enough, that's exactly where I am right now!
Early one Sunday in the summer would be great. Pull a few local lads together and head out for an hour...

Cheers!

yep sounds good, even if I bring the X3 (its 300bhp but sounds st) and get a passenger ride with someone. Ok, leave it with me. In the meantime PM me so I have your contact details.

[quote=Beejayhay]I went on it last year, the black GT4 in the pics above, was good fun. Couldn't even hear my car in the tunnels, and it has a 3inch system end to end, the TVR in front of me was the loudest car i have EVER heard ....i kid you not lol smile Defo would do again![

Haha.....that was me in the Tuscan thumbup was certainly good harmless fun that morning. Would definitely be up for a repeat performance wink

Didn’t manage to make the last one but I’d be up for a future one. Still have fond memories of TiTT from a few years back.

Well, it looks like there is already enough interest to make it worth while. Brilliant!

I'll ping PinkFatBunny a quick message and we'll pull a date together.

Dave.

Pretty sure I passed you again this morning sat in some horrific traffic!

At full chat its loud, all induction and dump valve woosh .......addictivesmile Which makes it all the more amazing that I couldn't hear it above that TVR lol. Tho if we get a stop in any tunnels this time the launch control might give him a run for his money wink

You certainly did. Its a quick (diesel) car but god its boring to drive quickly. Still have an old Civic Type R tucked in a garage not really driven for over a year which must be slower than this BMW but it was so much fun to drive quickly with the induction noise #chav. I do miss it!

So are we too late in the year for a final 2018 tunnel run do you think?

I could be up for a late December/early Jan run. Corvettes out of MOT and I'm too busy working on other people's cars to get it done!

It's the weather/morning light that is the blocker at this time of year. Could be a gorgeous winters morning or icy, wet and dark - and we organise these weeks in advance so it's a big gamble. Having seen the TVR get stacked into the tunnel wall a few years ago they tend to be summer only. We don't want cars fishtailing through Leeds as it attracts attention we don't need.

That said a static 'cars and coffee' could be good. I'm snowed over the next few months so my organisational skills won't be available to Q1 next year.

Went on the Tunnel run this summer. Was fun! Would be up for another one but the Gallardo is in winter storage with no MOT. Could get it out and MOT'd though.

So yeah, in short, I could be up for another run out.
