Had great fun in the Rouen tunnel on the way back, me in the scud and playing with a TVR and a Lambo Gayardo. Great fun and incredible sound.

I also got stuck in the traffic. But managed to put some space between myself and the car in front a few times an at least give the car a couple of short sprints. It was a clear run through on the way down and that was fun (for fun read noisy).

stuck in traffic as well this year, but I remember going through a few years ago with five F40's giving it some, an experience not quickly forgotten. cloud9

Having a small, white Peugeot van welded to my rear bumper.... wink

Wasn't any point rushing through due to traffic, but he seemed intent on trying to get through at a gazzillion kph. Bless, it probably blew up 10 minutes later...

You would they'd have given Anthony Davidson something better than that to drive home in silly

On Monday return trip, we followed a Red 328 GTS ( and that was also the number plate!) and an Aston Martin through the Rouen Tunnels...our Ears won't forget that memory in a hurry :-)!

Booted through on the way down and got lots of thumbs up. A 130 dB Tuscan on full song does that.

Way back, stuck in traffic, but obliged with requests to rev it which went down well. thumbup
