Hi All
Off to Scotland on Sat Morning 5/07/08 with a Chevy Belle Air Convertible on me back, give us a toot whilst on me way coz it gets very boring seeing all them hills/mountains. 
Will leave Swindon, Wilts around 6.30-7.00am, up m5/m6, m74 then right at m8 to edinburgh,
then back to carlisle for the night with a BMW m3  on the back having part exchanged it against the chevy (lucky  , would love that chevy) 
Driving a white d3 with forum badge on o/s rear window

How can you possibly find the hills and mountains boring?, the M6 & M74 north of Preston is my favourite run. Superb scenery Silver TDV6 HSE

Ok Ok, I'll correct myself on this one, went to Redruth in Cornwall today, my god that's even more boring, 400 mile round trip of dual carriage way/motorway with only a brand new Subway on the A30 to break up the journey
