plenty things mate!

been up and down quite a few times. my current saff came from there or thereabouts, my 3 door has been down too. you have to try for 1 stop maybe 2 quickies to save time but thats not mega fast or anything.

just thinking, 3 of us even went down in my mates 1980 odd 911 turbo once and there was FA room in the back but boy we nipped on

if you want to know some proper times for long distance driving you need to speak to RW!

Some of the times he has set are plain ridiculous.

Aberdeen to his parents house in Dunblane for example. Approx 110-115 miles, 1st 60 miles has about 12 cameras, travel through/round dundee but all dual carriageway......

Even going home from my wedding in July at 2am had a belter of a time
