Anyone coming from Sussex/Kent?
Thru the tunnel then take the A13 exit off the M25. At the Sadlers Farm interchange take the A130, then switch onto the new section of A130 which takes you up to the A12.
This a fantastic new stretch of road, billiard table smooth, ton up feels like 60mph. Last time I used it, without noticing what was happening I found myself at ton up, the road surface is that good you just don't feel you're going that fast. and thats in a ratty old '85 735i.
Please note this road is massively targeted by plod. not scamera vans, but hand held cameras positioned in the laybys.
On its first day of opening several guys were caught at over the ton. they got hammered.

For van drivers and chavved up hot hatches the speed limit is 175 mph. For these guys the A12 is classed as the Indy 500.
For the rest of us 70 mph.

Paul,
you told me you had sold them to a mate?
if not yet sold, why not bring them to the meet and sell them to the Essex lads.
Come to think of it are we allowed to have a BMW parts/car audio flea market, on a small scale of course.
