Agree with Ian, 2nd gear is better, especially at 5:30pm, slow right down with a silver merc behind you and floor it in 2nd right upto red line.....it's a great tunnel especially when it's really cold too.

Cool

I'd agree - 2nd is best - 3rd requires too much speed !

Though, I reckon a standing start from one end would be good at a time when no one else is around (Obviously) (In theory)

Defo a windows down job !!

Please NOTE that its a 40 mph zone
