Hatfield Tunnel is pretty long. And wide. Unfortunately I don't really know what it's like to speed. . .at all, let alone through a tunnel

I saw that. Didnt hear them mention corsas in particular! They said they saw a video of someone who filmed themselves doing 130 and the feds are gonna track them down. They will have theyre work cut out when they discover all the other vids lurking about.

Bastard was lying!

Was hoping to see the old nova (RIP) in all its glory..... beating that gay Punto GT on the M1 with JR trying to keep up!



Ah the memories

some of you may know the Rotherhythe tunnel in east london. at 2 in the morning when there is hardly any traffic the shape and size of the tunnel is perfect for a blat. just remember its 20 on the way in, 20 on the way out! unlike my mate who racked up 6 points in one evening in a 300zx

blackwall tunnel still has traffic cameras though dosnt it?

i cant believe its taken this long for them to catch someone filming over 130! im sorry but i have been through there much faster plenty of times (passenger of ourse! :-) ).. i dont see why Now they have just brought it to everyones attention! .. :-S lol

the Toll people see it happen everyday, cars race from the tolls, im sure they can hear it!!!! :-)

I don't think I've ever raced throught the tunnel?! Whenever I've gone through it its always busy.

I prefer the tolls though, waiting for the lights to go green and the barrier to go up and then you're off!!

Corb - any luck on that camera?

The only tunnels we have here are the ones that go underneath Manchester Airports runway 6L and 6R. Quite strange seeing a jumbo jet pulling a wheelie when you are going in.

No, Lee was doing about 40-60mph there i'd say, if that.

Don't need to be going fast to make a car rev higher

Someone called me about this last night, I thought about taking it offline, but then I thought theres nothing actually wrong with that video, no speeding, just a corsa with a loud exhaust in a tunnel?

*awaits email from Kent Police*

Seriously though, JR, if Lee has a problem, tell him to text/call me and i'll take it down, but i don't see anything wrong.

Would they do me if i dropped the clutch and revved my bike?

I actually know the people who done this! A forum Group near me Essex Racers organised a "tunnel run" last sat. They met at 4am sunday morning after basildon and all went through it at crazy speeds filming it and from what i heard were going to sell the DVD. Oooppss!
