Probably ok if it's hit early enough - there is always a big biker meet on Box hill on new years day - so there will be a fair bit of traffic around because of that. But perhaps an early morning blast and a bacon buttie?

There are average and speed camera's in the tunnel...

Oh f**k that!!!!!!!

There's no fun like regulated fun.

That phrase "regulated fun" is a bit too 1984 for me. Double plus ungood...

Only when the speed restriction signs are up. No where near Box Hill for the bikers.

Ohhh didn't realise that on the speed camera's, I may be having a senior moment re: bikers on the A3 - Box Hill is on the A25 off to the NE, but often seem to make room for bikes on the A3 - so assumed it would be an in / out route from the south.

the best speed through the tunnel is in 2nd anyway, as you get the best sound. Accelerate up to the red line, back off then do it again. Or so I have bee told

Thanks for the recommendations.

I'm familiar with Kingsway and Blackwall Tunnels, but not Beech Street, will look into that.

I've not driven the Hindhead tunnel yet, but it's on my list to do next time I have a plausible excuse

I just drove back from Southampton, but was feeling a bit knackered, so didn't do the Hogsback!

The car is damn good on the motorway though. 6th gear, cruise control on, very stable and surprisingly quiet. My neighbours are probably not so keen, I just three point turned onto the drive with no f22 at 11:30... oops.
