Took the V8V Roadster through the Dartford Tunnel last weekend.
Roof off, stereo off..........slow right down in second gear, enter the tunnel and floor it......oh so silly but oh so much fun!!!!

I'm sure everyone else thought I was being a tosser but it made me smile and the noise was AMAZING!!! I was enjoying myself and to hell with everyone else!

I doubt everyone thought you were being a tosser. I used to do this with my V8 in the Hatfield Tunnel on the A1. Would always get positive feedback! People generally love it as long as you are considerate...

May I direct you to a video I shot on the way back from a day out in France with the Lambo club. (I was in a Noble M12 - which was pretty loud too!)

I live on the Wirral but work in Liverpool so have the pleasure of driving through the Mersey tunnel every day.......when in the Aston it is very tempting to floor it in second and listen to V12 bark out its anger smile
