Best tunnel around?

[robbiekhan]

Hey folks,

Just wondering if any folks down here know of any tunnels to appreciate exhaust and induction noise through? Or if there are nearby meets where tunnels are involved? The ones I know of locally are pretty small, barely exist 2nd gear before it's all over. Hindhead is too far away... I'm in the Portsmouth area.

Cheers!

I'd actually be leaving from Gosport so a bit more than 20mins really I was aiming for a little closer to home just for those early weekend runs with the roof down.

Perhaps Hindhead could be an occasional thing though.

Damn, ah well, will have to make it a regular thing then thanks

Although blindingly obvious be aware of the average speed camera set-up there.

I've always thought if the overheads weren't lit then the average Cams were off? Not that I've ever exceeded reasonable limit there anyway as most jaunts have been from low speed to motorway speed

Can we get a run sorted perhaps with a few folks end of Jan/early Feb? My car won't be ready until then you see

[robbiekhan]

Portslade is a bit of a trek away, over an hour! But certainly one to keep bookmarked cheers as it looks quite lkengthy.

The Winchester one looks decent too if a bit short!

Very nice!

Give me a wave if you see me, I'm often around in my moderately modified RB5!

I'll be able to hear that car from the other end of the tunnel and beyond lol

[robbiekhan]

Perhaps a side by side tunnel run then if you're up for it to find out?


I'll have my car back mid January, got some bits on coming weekends but I do want to do a tunnel session in Feb!

[robbiekhan]

That would be great, alright I'll put up a new thread closer the time to see who is interested

[robbiekhan]

Sure thing!

[robbiekhan]

Thread bump! So now that I've had time to get everything in order, and actually have some time free, I'd like to re-visit this tunnel run idea and see who is up for it still?

In mine? Don't see why not

Excellent! I'll put up a new thread and post the link here in coming weeks. car is at Banburys right now having parking sensors replaced and a couple of other touches. Should get it back within a week.

Roof down + foot down =
