I'll be heading to this region on Saturday to take-up a work trial at Wheels In Motion in Chesham. Unfortunaly, the Silvia will have to stay in Manchester for the time being (not that a mostly standard S12 is much to look at). I can offer a scruffy bluebird, that's been washed maybe once in 6 months, for meet-duties! (untill I get rid of it anyway)
Anyway, have some S12 pictures;

I'm heading down this saturday too! Not sure wether to use the M6 or not though. Full of 'works and average speed cameras last I heard. Not that speeding is likely in a fully loaded-up 1.6 bluebird....:wack:

To be fair mate, there isn't much difference between the A50/M1 route and the M6/M1. I found that late at night the A50/M1 is about 15 minutes quicker when coming home (leave 22:00 arrive 01:00) but going there I usually use M6/M1 as with the traffic the A50 isn't quite as quick.
The roadworks are frustrating as hell though on the M6. On Friday when I went, I left one set, didn't even get to 70 and was into the next set.
Watch out for the roadworks on the M1 between 10 and 13 though, they are there until 2013 apparently, can't remember exactly where you will be using so thought I'd give you a head's up :thumbs:

LMAO, Mine has a right strop if I try and do A50/M1. You just have to ignore it and keep going, show it who's boss :)

'think I'll plump for the M6. It looks to be only about 4 or so junctions that are restricted and I doubt a fully loaded bluey 1.6 could do more than about 55/60 without screaming it down @ 5500rpm anyway :(
Christ, I've got a long ass drive tomorrow. I hate driving distance...
