I have been on a couple of tunnel runs in the past, one with alfaowner and the other was organised by myself and some freinds. Its a great night out for petrolheads. Certainly in the runs we have done, there is no racing, speeding or aggressive driving, and we are all of younger generation. As some have said the cameras and speed limits enforced in these tunnels mean its impossible to speed or race.

This guy is an idiot, and would only be waisting police time on a weekend when they could be arresting criminals and picking up drunks off the streets. One of the last ways of enjoying your car legaly on the road and this numpty wants it bvanned. I also know that in the past tunnel runs have raised alot of money for charity.

When i have been on runs we have spoken to police in the area and they were happy with what we were doing, and enjoyed looking at the cars. Its best we do this thatn go out fighting on a night out or breaking into houses.

People should write to the paper and this MP and invite them along to a run too prove we are not "chavvy, lunatic street racers"

What a complete Mug!

Long live the tunnel run

Fireworks? It's east London, they're used to the sound of explosions around there, they hardly even notice.

Whilst I am not much of a fan of MP's in general, and Labour ones in particular, you have to consider he personally probably couldn't give any more of a damn about "Tunnel Runs" than I do, but is paid to represent the views and opinions of his constituents, however narrow minded or unpopular to none local people they may be.

Did I REALLY just defend a Labour MP there? Oh dear..... Getting soft People have got a kick from making a noise in echoing locales from the stone age. Must be something in the genes.

only total numpties

Damn straight

E-mailing/ FBing him probably won't work. Apparently some (or is that all?) MPs never even read mail from their constituents. That's what the PA is for.

Lets be honest, society says things such as;
Alcohol is bad for you
smoking is bad for you
sex is bad for you
eating is bad for you
breathing is bad for you et al,
In fact if you can think of it some tw#t will have a completely opposit point of view,especialy if it is an activity enjoyed by (mostly) young people, why is it the more noteable persons in our societies always believe that by stamping out fun, they will win a seat on the council or something else as blinkered, slightly powerful and totaly archaic.
All motorists are screwed every wich way they can be and get bu##er all in return, instead of saying "ban the noisy bds", how about saying "this is a clash of age related cultures and we need to find an answere that will allow nimby's to sleep well and car enthusiasts to still have some fun, lets face it thay pay so much into the goverments coffers, fun should be a statuary right.
And don't dismiss me as a yoof who has just passed their test, I am nearly 60yrs of age and for nearly all of those years all i can remember society doing is blaming everthing on young people, it's not the fault of todays young people that their elders had misserable childhoods and therefor think that if they couldn't have their fun then no subsequent youths should have any iether.
I wander if anyone has thought of building some "HOONING" circuits on old industrial estates or the inner 'island' of an existing race circuit, I'll bet that if there is some money to be made then councils or
philanthrapists would have a good look at such a scheme, just don't talk to only the nymby's talk to the motorists first.

Great photo! What's the car in front Noble?

wow - buys a house/flat near a major road and then complains at road noise... don't tell me you're planing to move near to Heathrow/Gatwick/Stansted and then complain about plane noise?

Ugh, I bet the guys in that photo were totally inconsiderate arses blatting around London 'getting lost' as an excuse for going through the same tunnel back and forth.
