  - wasn't me mines silver

Mine's green, but never been near South Mimms in my life.
 
Just goes to show some Miggy drivers are awful, like the very dirty gold/champane one that goes down Allington lane most mornings about 7am and 3inches from my bootlid in the fog/mist/rain, he must have the best eyesight of any driver I have ever seen.

Is that the 'rat run' just down the road from Fair Oak to Botley?  knew it well once, cutting through in a Ford Cortina from 1976 to 1982, with other drivers just like that one you metion!

Back to the thread, I have a green miggy, and I travelled down past Minns Services................





























.......................................over ten days ago and my miggy is a 'W' reg! Phew!!  

[Kate]

Hi Lizzie
It is indeed, except it goes from Fair Oak to West End now. You must be a very well travelled person, in fairness to the road it can be fun at the right time of day, but not in rush hour madness. Allthough it was once a country lane it is now a normal main road that is busy most of the day.

Its fits my description........


.....but I dont go south of the gap!


Plus, I would be driving fairly sedately to conserve fuel.

One question, how do some lorries get round the speed limiter, had a Uk registered one pass me at 70+ this morning (40ft Artic)

Whats the deal on A roads? Some crawl at 45mph, some do the full 60.

same sized trucks too.

Once was past by a nicked 40ft Artic, he was doing 90+  

[rikki_essex]

there are a few tricks to get round the limit more so on the older lorries

National speed limit for a HGV on single carriageways is 40 MPH.

.. and I would be very surprised if a HGV engine was still pulling at 90 MPH. They have quite narrow power bands and I seriously doubt they'd be geared to do significantly than the governed speed. Otherwise the top couple of gears would be redundant.

The Uk speed limits are:

Car & Pikey Wagon/Trailer
	30mph	50mph	60mph	70mph
Bus
	30mph	50mph	60mph	70mph
Lorry - less than 7.5 tonne
	30mph	40mph	50mph	60mph
Lorry - more than 7.5 tonne

Gotta catch me first


Only, if it was me, you're colour blind, as mine was Silver R reg (not been near South Mimms for a few months) or a Blue T reg

That is how I remember it Mike, and actually I really meant West End not Botley; my memory nowadays!!

Yes as I was brought up in a Royal Navy family that moved on average every 18 months over 26 years, then being a business woman who controlled areas / regions / divisions spread over the whole of the South of England, then the whole Country, you could say I am well travelled!!

I revisited Fair Oak about 8 years ago and couldn't believe how much has changed, especially with houses everywhere and new roads!  

When I first moved into Fair Oak (4 Brook Road) the village was separate from Eastleigh, and gradually we saw building start to connect it all up, and now........
