4Car Feature - Tunnel Run - from Channel 4
I'm furious! These guys have been out there, done this, and none of them have been arrested. None of them have had their cars impounded by the police, and crushed. Imagine a group of car modifiers doing the same thing. Middle Britain would be up in arms! This is hypocrisy of the highest order. I cannot believe that just because the cars involved are more expensive, it's considered ok. Surely it's worse that every car that went was a powerful, expensive sportscar, capable of great speed. Sure, there was a speed camera there for part of it, but I bet there weren't speed checks all the way round, and I can absolutely guarantee you there was some law breaking going on. I am enraged by the double standards the police employ in these situations. I've experienced first hand the kind of prejudice that modifiers have to experience on a daily basis, even those who love their cars so much they wouldn't dream of doing anything dangerous in them. The police won't even agree to properly organised events in many areas, and yet these middle aged petrolheads can get away with it right in the centre of the capital. This is fucked up, people. No wonder the youth of this country feels disenfranchised.
