    I love the sound of my car on kickdown in sports mode - I wonder if other folks think '..that doesn't sound like a Volvo' as you pass them?

    There was a bit too much traffic in front of me; got another, slightly longer, tunnel run planned though

    Well if you use the Dartford tunnel after 10pm it is free, but i am sure the ANPR cams will want to know what you are doing going over the bridge and back through the tunnel a few times in the same short spell lol,

    This is very true - especially when heading westbound (uphill). Good one also coming along M20 eastbound just beyond Folkestone - over a viaduct and into the side of a hill: almost continental.

    Close to Blackwall Tunnel here - but unless you come through at 2 in the morning (and it is more often than not closed) - it is too bloody noisy to hear yourself! As indeed is Dartford.

    Also to be seen in a gold Honda CR-V these days...

    It's a free country (ha ha) - and an innocent enough pastime!
