You've got to be careful with these "trolls".
Sometimes (I've heard), these "trolls" have stopwatches, and they measure "time elapsed" between Billy-goats-gruff" (bridges) at a fixed distance...........
Be careful


Good job they don't seem to measure times for Transit YBs with trailers and race cars through the "enchanted path under the water" (Dartfordshire)

I think u r mad doing it on the particular private test track Mark... Especially as the pigs fly everywhere- I use it daily... and its hardly straight.

The best one for me would be the long 7/8 mile straight road that leads off the M1 and runs parrell with the M6.

But to reiterate what Brom said.. it aint brunters so it aint true
