To anyone that may have been distressed by the sound of a 4.2l V8 being redlined across large swathes of West Essex and East Herts this morning.

After almost precisely 6 months of ownership, I finally managed to get out with
1) Daylight
2) Dry roads
3) Warm sunshine
4) Time
5) Fuel
6) No idiots in front of me.

Oh my. Quick aren't they :D

With the iPod running, I'm sort of giving up on the 'radio' and had the trip meter on. I didn't see it drop that far, but the text is a bit small :)

There are some very good roads near here, one if the old mayors was a big racing fan, so whenever they were re-surfacing a road, they tended to add a few curves and camber them for spirited driving. They even close off one section for a couple of miles for a day each year and use the local cart track, turn it into what the call the "slalom"...I was just trying it out for them a couple of weeks early : )

They are here ... http://slalom.corcoue.online.fr/

I've never been here for it, but it looks fun!

Sensible policies for a happy country, Chris :)
Dem, if you'd found somewhere, it would have cost you £20, no? :)
