Funny how ugly cars just won't die.

I had a slightly longer trip home, not helped by them reducing the lanes on the M20 from 3 to 1 around junction 4 :evil:

I went back on the A20, it's a very frustrating road, it's very fast in places but I ALWAYS get stuck behind someone going slow, and there are very few places to legally overtake! :evil:

Just a shame it was so wet. Cold I can handle, just chuck on another jumper, wet is just crap.

I think wellies are a good look for you :teehee:

Once again - :flipbird: :chuckle:

I agree, cold not a problem, wet - miserable! :cry:


It was a shame about the weather but we did get some hot sun on the friday, mixed with massive torential showers! :roll:

But I'm soooo glad I went (it was my first time) and I hope it make it there again as soon as possible, I doubt next year though because I'll probably still be poor! :( :violin:

Bit like the 251 going either way into or out of ashford. Ended upo for the last 5 miles before getting on the the m2 doing 20 mile an hour. God I was bored.

Martin, I wanna have a ride in your motor to. You should start charging for rides. But only after you taken me for one winkeye
oh and i'm still full now
Lee, Steve was heard to comment he didn't beleive you were ever full.

To the guy with the E30 to the right, sorry im crap with names. Don't forget the tip about swapping the drivers seat with the passenger seat.

You just need to swap the seatbelt mounts over. OK the tilt arm will be on the wrong side but you get a better seat for the driver.
