Many miles - no "8s"
 
I drove down to Hereford using the A49 early doors yesterday in a VW, not too bad. Collected a coach there with passengers and brought them back the same way.
All those miles and not a single 8 to be seen.
Perhaps they received the warning letters and paid heed.
Tomorrow I'm in my soot chucker heading down to the National Arboretum at Arewas.
Tuesday driving a coach and pax to Bodnan Gardens.
Thusday doing a four day tour in Barmouth, just across the river from hotel George III, if you remember Snowdonia. Wow, that was three years ago, time goes by.

It's not energy it's needing the money

Just back from a. 600 mile round trip to Bristol, Ray.

I saw one, a 3.0 TDi D3, metallic blue, on an 08 plate.

One day last year heading south on the M5 from Bristol two 8s passed me. I was in a coach so they did not "see" me.
A few miles later they were on the hard shoulder with one of them blue/yellow chequered things flashing blue lights parked behind them.
I think he was treating them to a coffee, but then I'm not the brightest.

I was on the M42 when a scruffy A4 Avant on foreign plates weaved past, undertaking then overtaking cars in a very reckless manner.

I wish there'd been a similar "coffee dispenser" around to witness the actions of that fool :mad:
