Good work, Kev. I especially like the bit where you pan over to catch Graham in the door mirror! Maybe we should take the cars though the Tyne Tunnel one day...

I wonder if there is a Route Planner where you can ask for "Most use of Tunnels and Bridges" ???

Thats not as daft as it sounds - there must be a way of planning a route for high / wide loads just need to work it in reverse!

OR - maybe there's a list of bridges / tunnels somewhere?

Just guessing.

That is such a good idea it had to be worth googling

The best I could find is this, which is far from comprehensive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnels_in_the_United...

These cars should car a health warning - I was out in mine last night and although there were no tunnels involved there were a couple of stretches where you approach a roundabout and the mainroad is carried over the top of you in a bridge. These bridges are just big enough to echo like a tunnel, which is fair enough, but it leads to the more childish TVR owner (me) giving it a last minute blast on the throttle immediately before the roundabout.

I just looked at that tunnel list and all the Nottinghamshire ones are railway tunnels!

Ahh, ok, maybe I didn't do my research too thuroughly.

The car sounds good Kevin - worth just listening ...

Kev ~ a good tunnel close to you is at the exit to Brockbushes.
It runs under the road, is very low and has a great echo!

I once knew a mine explorer who had a pipe dream of taking a mini in pieces into Smallcleugh mine and to rebuild it in the "Ballroom Flats".

If he could be persuaded to take an "S" instead the mountain would roar!
