Manchester airport tunnels
Discussion
Another one of life's little joys taken from us..........
Serious question - bit of speed and noise really that dangerous there - no pedestrians or cyclist , everyone heading in the same direction ???
Mots dangerous activity i see is the late overtakes as the tunnels end and go from two to one lane...

And then misjudge the slight downhill, panic, carry far too much speed onto the roundabout and desperately try to hang on and not understeer into the kerb, I could sit there all day and watch that Edited by thepickle on Thursday 1st September 08:13

Is it just me or does the car they show the car on LIDAR doing 80mph, not actually doing 80?“....one travelling at 80mph - the roar of its engine amplified by the tunnel. It’s this reverberation, according to officers, that’s part of the appeal for drivers with loud exhausts....”
the police wouldn't have it on their radar had there not been loads of "lots of money but not very good at driving" moments down there in recent years. Often Ferrari. Sometimes celebrity (e.g. Christiano Ronaldo). There has been speed cameras at one of the exit points for a few years now. Fortunately I owned a TVR before any of this got such scrutiny!
Ahh the good old days, 3.5" turbo back on my Evo 9 and the carbon airbox on the CSL. Up and down, up and down we go.... weeeeee..
I was working at the house of one of the ex owners of MoneySupermarket last year. His day consisted of pulling out one of his Ferarri's and taking it for a blast through the tunnels, the best was his F40, sounded glorious.
