You want to give hulme end a go in the Manifold Valley in Derbyshire. Very good tunnel for some windows down exhaust action. I used to have a RS1600I with a Janspeed sounded good.

I thought a tunnel of love was a completely different thing......Fordoholic Nick wrote:https://youtu.be/QH2Kc4R442s
Great song! Dire Straits are one of my fave groups and "Tunnel of Love" is right up there with "Romeo and Juliet" or "Telegraph Road" as their best song.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've had a look online and that tunnel looks almost identical to this one, albeit a little longer.ESSEXV6ESSEX wrote:You want to give hulme end a go in the Manifold Valley in Derbyshire.

Windows down exhaust action is exactly what I'm after!

Hi Danny,
Yes that video works. Heck your car sounds amazing through there!
If I'm not mistaken, that's the Brynglas tunnel on the M4, one of my favourite places to drive the Capri!.
You shouldn't have crossed that solid white line though.....

Good knowledge Andrew! I was in Newport for a stag do, saw the sign for the tunnel and then insisted we go past the junction simply to go through itAndrew 2.8i wrote: Hi Danny,

And I know I shouldn't have crossed the line, though to be completely honest I only realised it was a solid white line after I crossed it

We have the Tamar tunnel going into Cornwall, but it's 30mph so not much chance of hearing the pipes unless you do 2 second gear spirts
