Not if it's in London traffic. The last time we did this, we were going around the streets of London at 20mph!!

If on the open roads around London, then yes. laugh

the best time for a london tunnel run is 6am on a sunday morning as there is no traffic or old bill but most people don't want to be up at that time in the morning .

I'd be up for this. Not at 6am on a Sunday though (although this probably is the only time in London when the roads are quiet). Where abouts were you thinking?

The last one was great fun, in spite of the weather. Breakfast at the Ace Cafe was pretty good too.... thumb

Sure mate.

There really is no point doing this when there is traffic around, and 6am is probably too early for most. This is why I think it would be a better idea to have a cruise on the open road.

There are some great roads about if you know where to go. laugh

Well up for this, and I don't mind getting up in the wee hours. Last one I did was awesome and now I've got a few more horses to play with and nice loud exhaust should be loads of fun! driving thumb

6am on sunday is the best time to cruze threw london/tunnels as there is no traffic and no old bill around , as biggenz said the last time we did it was a waist of time as we crawled around london and wasen't much fun but i won't be able to do this for a few months as i'll be starting on the car in 2 weeks time and don't know how long its going to take me .

Just to awaken the thread...

So, had it been decided that early morning would be best? I don't know what London traffic is like on a Sunday morning - say 7-8 AM?

I imagine many people will be putting their Coupes to bed for the winter so it would great to do this soon.
