I'm in Surrey. Would love to come along, but it'll depend as much on when as where - unfortunately, work has a nasty tendency to infringe on both driving and imbibing time (not simultaneously, obviously!).
btw - was in Swindon yesterday. The so-called 'Magic Roundabout' is just about bearable in an '8, but I still find the only way to get around it is to try and achieve a kind of 'escape velocity' and sort out where the hell I am when I get on the other side. Not managed to exit the damn thing in the same direction twice in a row, yet.... lol |

Yes please with two provisos.
1. I haven't blown it to pieces with my theraputic driving style and been unable to source a replacement. ( I NEED a sodding agony uncle, any volunteers? Seriously, before I wrap the bloody thing.) 2. It must fall on a date when school is out or a weekend/bank holiday.
