Haha Mo, DK and I were discussing this in a previous thread. Didn't have the balls to go faster than approx 115 nearing the top of fourth, all four windows down on the way home from Le Mans 00:30 on the Tuesday morning with a car full of <beep> (as mentioned before, I'd carefully packed the car deliberately to allow for high-speed window-down driving!)

In my defence I did murder the slightly longer Holmesdale tunnel (Waltham Abbey on M25) coming home from an engagement party in London about 1am on a Sunday morning. Was less than a month after I bought the car, and the very day I picked it back up from some rectification / warranty work. Managed to catch my then girlfriends hair as I put the four windows back up, but she didn't care, she was laughing her head off!

The Tunnel was great. I tried to persuade my girlfriend to hang over the exit with a camera.... but she was having none of it :-(

"Next Time".... we'll definitely have to do the little warm-up blast I suggested from S Mimms down to the tunnel :-)
(Only adds 5 mins)

Ps. If anyone gets gatso warnings etc north of the tunnel, ignore them.... they got shifted away months ago.

Hopefully not, they've only just gone after 2 / 3 years of roadworks!
