Come on then, do your worst to make me feel bad about not going to Gaydon......
I know there were quite a few from my area went, but who travelled the furthest?? I'm talking how far is it from your gaff to Gaydon, not round trip mileage.

Same here. You're not doing to well on your quest to make me feel bad lads.
Someone here must have gone over 250 miles.

"The fish was THIS BIG!!!!!"
I went 120 - ish, but I imagine the Scottish boys went furthest.
Mind you, I'm completely shattered. I did enjoy seeing the MAHOOOOOSIVE tail back on the A556 & M56 for the footy traffic though, it was epic. Like a... really long line... of cars... yeah.
All those United fans going back home to Surrey, no doubt.

I was thinking that!
AA reckons Washington to Gaydon in 3 hrs 49 mins, and we all know how underestimated they are!

Trip back was a pain in the bum, hold up after hold up.(bloody mini's)
What really peed me of was the tailback on the M25, stuck in traffic for miles and the problem? people rubber necking an accident in the opposite carrageway

501 total miles 4 1/2 hours there and 4 1/2 back with brew stops,can't get over how good the 318 Is is on the juice(compared to my Audi) fucking in-flight refuelling with that baby.
Got a chip from ChipsUK and can honestly say has improved the midrange punch no end .......not normally a fan of "plug and go" chips but with a normally aspirated engine the gains are not huge but this was worth the cash.
Met quite a few zoners but no-one in the dedicated parking area apart from james Is.
May go to Santa Pod if camping is permitted ???
