Hertford tunnel blast?
Discussion
Ninja and all,
I am arranging a PH meet on Sunday August 4th in Herts, at The Goat pub in Hertford Heath.
My navigation is a bit crap, but I think this is near-ish to the tunnel you guys use for your 'sound testing'. Presumably it's the long one under the motorway?
Full details are on the Porsche forum and Events forum, so let me know if one or two of you want to 'fly a sortie' down to the tunnel. I am getting a silencer bypass fitted for the occasion (!) and there will be some Caterham boys turning up in Superlights as well (they also sound quite good through their exhausts!).
Cheers

Hi Ninja (whenever/wherever u get this message!),
No problems, I thought you must have been on hols as not normally so quiet
Have fun in the sun and we'll do another at some point! We'll grab Guy and his Ultima again, if poss, as his car sums up everything that is right about yank V8s
Cheers

Hi ninja
Sounds like you've been having fun - even in an Astra diesel, so you must be a resourceful bloke!
I blasted through the tunnel with Guy in his Ultima, but the sound must be best outside of the cars, or in a slightly narrowere tunnel. Still good though!
After my new sports exhaust was fitted (sounds fantastic - almost like a V8 at idle and pure Le Mans Porsche at high revs) Scottster drove my car on a flypast for me. I was in my Rover with the window open, and hearing/seeing my car buzz-saw howl past in racing 911 fashion was superb. Amazingly, it's not too intrusive on long journeys either, as no resonance or droning.
All the best - I'll let you know if Guy and I are on the prowl for tunnels again.
Cheers

Hi Kevin
Tunnel sounds good. Bluesatin (Guy, Ultima) will be up for it too. Can't do Funky's Oxford Banbury meet on the 18th (seeing my Gran, awww bless!) but the tunnel crew will defo have to meet up.
I will rack my brains thinking of decent tunnels nearby.
Good tho' it is, not sure my 911 will compare to a proper Ferrari F1 soundtrack - drove a 355 F1 and it was the best sounding thing I've been in. For six cylinders the 911RS does OK, though.
Cheers
