Set off through London to the M4, and was immediatley frustrated by the closure of the Blackfriars underpass, so cut north and down Fleet St/Strand to Traf Square. Went to dodge through traffic down Pall MAll, but some halfwit's installed a central reservation from Waterloo Place to St James Palace - very narrowly avoided an embarrassing incident. Got stuck behind a Lambo outside Harrods - one of the ones with the big central exhaust. Very noisy, I could hardly hear the Quil on the CB. Out of London - it was stationary from Hogarth to J2 of the M4, and off to do battle with the wind - for eighty miles. Not fun at all. Off at J17, and through Wiltshire to get the replacement landmark - the original one got sold shortly after the rally started. Headed into Melksham to see the site of the original - it's been replaced by a Mack 6x6 truck. ( it was an old jet fighter) Headed south into Hampshire, on the way to Dorset. Very pleasant run through the New Forest, then on to Christchurch. On the way down the A338 I saw my first Enzo, going the other way. Momnents later, I spotted an immaculate red and black Z1. Found the landmark easily, then back up the A31/M27 then off the waterfront at Warsash. Quick drink, bite to eat, and then back onto the M27/A3 into Surrey. Saw a lime green Rocket 3, and was followed by a car I've yet to identify - looks like a Reliant SE4 from the front, but the back of the roof's all wrong - this one was cut off, like an Elan hardtop. Found the landmark, failed to ring home (no signal, in Surrey?), and headed north to the M25 through the Surrey Hills. Really nice part ofthe country, but I imagine property prices are astronomical. M25, got passed by a *real* Dodge Challenger, red, K suffix plate -which was not hanging about at all - I'd hate his petrol bill. Went past Clackets lane, and looked down to see the fuel gauage scrolling from side to side - managed to get to Foots Cray for a fill up, afetr 217 miles, and home. Only four landmarks, 340 miles, looking forward to Cornwall next week, in a comfy seat.
Heaven forfend that you might realise if referred to Honda's series of motorcycles with inline cylinder engine configurations[1] on a motorcycle newsgroup! [1] I think this is the defining point of CBs but if not, DILLIGAF?!
It has a tiled top half. I wouldn't buy it unless I knew it had a cavitywall behind the tiles. Tiled houses are notorious for damp problems and get fucking cold. I'm not a fan of dormer windows either, because I've never seen one that's got a properly insulated dormer or pitched roof - they get even colder than tiled walls. -- Lozzo Versys 650 Inter-Continental Hyperbolistic Missile , CBR600F-W racebike in the making, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere) BMW E46 318iSE (it's a car, not one of those 2-wheeled pieces of shite they churn out)
Yeahbut you will get something pretty darn nice under 800k And who needs a treble garage and land for a private mx track.............. ah, as you were.
I spotted a treble garaged place down by my sister's house for ~£300k, but the cottage itself looked a bit pokey upstairs. Separate annexe on top of the garage block, mind. Not sure Grade II listed is really my cup of tea, either.
The SE4's roof is short, but a normal coupe style, do you mean it was even shorter? http://www.lotuselan.net/forums/download/file.php?id=49&mode=view
Before I got out of NI I was hot on the trail of new but crappy ex farmhouse. It did however have a new concrete/steel "equipment shed" large enough for 8 tractors and a 22 acre MX track. Given the drift of property values it was a lucky escape

It also had a cow shed you could fit an under cover mx track into, as it happens, but I was going to knock that down. And a concrete drive big enough for 20 cars. This was 800k. Pretty amazing really.
