Title: Hindhead Tunnel
Post by: mike213735 on 10 June 2012, 15:00:21
Hi all,

Check me out driving through Hindhead Tunnel.

Perhaps we should arrange a meet and convoy through it.

Yes, and I'm not the only one to "pass through" like that.

It's difficult to "blip" the throttle in an auto, so I just slowed down and then accelerated.

No speeding was undertaken during the making of this video.

I thought it opened about 9 months ago (reason I say that is that I know an anorak who had a similar video posted about 1/2 an hour after it opened).

But thanks for the reminder that I've yet to take the Westfield through there at full chat in the early hours one morning. 8)

would'nt do that if i was you as you will be stopped by the boys in blue and i have heard of them taking cars away from their owners as vehicle is being used in a anti social manner (what ever that is??)

the locals have the hump over noise and that is the new local directive

That's very laudable Mike, although if you were indeed driving, Five O might have wanted a word for holding and operating a camera when supposedly being in full control of a motor vehicle. ;D ;D :-*

I can assure you...ONE hand was firmly holding the steering wheel whilst the other was holding the camera.

I did have the extra safety that my knee was on the wheel too...LOL!

Splendid news Mike - although good luck with the hope that Five O (or your insurance company in the event of a mishap) would be happy enough with the explanation and give you the benefit of the doubt. :) :) :-*

Just sayin' though - not singlin' you out or anything. :y
