Good idea Stu, think with the number of runs I have missed of late I may be in danger of counting as a past runner lol.
still see a few of the old runners posting on SNet
Hope you get your clutch sorted out, too cold to try without a nice garage

Cool idea Stu!! Nice to keep in touch with people 
I like the tunnel run, even though I dont do it very often but I drive my car every day, the tunnel run is as much about the people as it is the cars
I've spent a few hours with a motivational speaker today (Kriss Akabusi), can you tell

Hello all.
Hope you dont mind me posting in here.
Im from Carlisle up in Cumbria. Ive just moved from Milton Keynes where a small group of us organised the Essex Tunnel for the Essex Scooby Crew in 2010 as they had no one to organise it so wasn't going to be run.
I would like to help you with organising a big North Tunnel Run but have no idea what tunnels we have up here.
Andy

Think I'd feel a bit of tit turning up in the Clio ..
Tried to race a BMW last night, the thing just wheels spins, I nearly hit him, never mind race him .. 9 years of AWD, it's near impossible to go fast in a FWD ..
Damn you all for having a better car than me now ..

Good idea this. I've not been on one since the last Wales Tunnel Run. A good year ago I think now. Funny cos I was 1 out of the 11 to go on the first ever tunnel runs. That's what happens when you have your First Baby. 
hoping to come along soon. Cars changed loads since then. Even got a Go Pro HD Camera I could use. Still in the box 
Be good to catch up with people

Not sure if this would work Stu. Could you get a Hack Saw Blade in there or snap the blade to get it in. Then cut a line over the snapped bolt, just enough the get a flat head Screwdriver or flat head bit to unscrew the bolt.

Hey Gilly one of my work mates was next to you in that little tunnel by the bridges in a red astra about a week ago.. said you were were making a bit of noise in there!
The plot thickens eh Stu, has it got ally wish bones? I did see they had screw extractors in aldi btw the other day, depends on how much access you have though I suppose..
When I swapped the cat on mine thoose bolts were well siezed thought they were never coming off. good luck with it mate
