is your car ok now then Paul? I heard you had it off the road for a bit?
she's fine mate. She was down at David Batty's for a de-cat and new exhaust... hence the obsession with tunnels! 
(check the "How Loud?!?!" thread in the S series forum). Big T -
NOOOOO! Blackwall there, and Dartford back, sounds like a great idea! 
TVR-Nut - be good if you could make it chap... promise to be good (ish) blat wise, with the exception of tunnels, or where the exhaust will reverberate...
Engagement! bloody hell chap! (seriously though, congratulations 
) V8 Archie - Best damn idea I've heard in ages...
Since you know the way, are you happy to lead? Suggest a meeting place and a time chap, and I'll be there! 
Supraman, you big girls blouse, it won't be raining in the tunnel! 
, it just slipped out.

Spotted a notice on the A12 near the M25 junction saying summat about the Blackwall Tunnel... noticed it too late though...
It'd be good if you could check it out before Sunday. I'm not sure I could cope with the disappointment if we got there to find it shut.
I'll be more alert on my way to work tomorrow...
Big T said:
Podie,
Looks like it's going tits finding a suitable tunnel for your noisy TVR
T.
We'll be OK chap... we've still got the Dartford jobbie..
Think we need to persuade Griffy that she needs to get her exhaust seen too (
)... The game of flooring it in pairs through the tunnel has yet to lose its appeal. Reckon we could shake a few tiles loose Big T!

:shouts: (To make himself heard over the sound of roaring V8s) There's always Rotherhithe (probably adds 20mins to the journey, but we could possibly even include the Limehouse Link too if we did that.
I'm 2 cylinders short of a V8...
Consider me to be the alto

If the consensus is that a trip through Blackwall tunnel on the way there is in order then let's arrange to meet up in the big O’Neill’s pub car park just off the Green Man roundabout. It's easily accessible and close to the tunnel, down the M11 link road a little bit.

Just a thought though peeps, it's got a big car park and it's off the main road. It's quite easy to get to from the tunnel, we can either take the A2 or the A20 then jump on the M25 for a little bit.
What d'ya think??
T.
P.S. Means more time in bed for me
Anyone want to meet me first... don't really know where I'm going!

[Using the A12], the second underpass after the North Circular goes under it.
That's what I made out from the map anyway.

Podie, listen up chap. I live more or less at the start of the M11. How far are you from the M11/M25 junction? If you can make it down the M11 to the A406(North Circular) turn off then call me from there and I will direct you to my gaff (few minutes away). From there we can make our way to the Green Man roundabout (start of Leytonstone High Road). I'll mail you directions if you prefer.
That way we can then pi$$ all my neighbours off even more
Who else is up for the Blackwall Tunnel Run to Kent??

I live in Chelmsford, so would hack down the A12...
..mail me directions chap. Got yer mobile...

I think that Black' re-opens at 9am at the week-ends whilst the work is going on... I certainly went thru it at 9.30 last Sat morning That's what I like to hear!
Excellent Pies - any more of that and you'll be buying the drinks!
I'll check the signs on the A12 on the way to work tomorrow morning...

Sorry I've been so slow on catching on to this, but I've been on my back for the past couple of days.....
Podie meet me at the Marriott (where we met for the Epping meeting - its only 2 junctions from you) and we'll drive down to Big T's it's only 10 minutes from here and cos I don't know how to get to the Green Man either.
Is that OK with you Big T, what time do we need to be at yours?
Hope you're feeling better mate! Won't reply to your mail.. since you now know!
J26 sounds fine... what time?
