Reckon a bloke in Bargoed'll take that car off you Alf ... ::)

For once I agree with Bigyin :o
Looking to see a mate in Darlington towards end of the year, looked at the train as its a good 4.5 hour drive up there. They wanted £120 for a return ticket :o :o :o
Splitting fuel with a mate, it would be about £30 each if we took the 2.2 :)
-
Sorry tunnie, we need to agree to disagree on this one ...
Got what're probably the best value train fares in the UK down here.
Big Yen could enjoy a return trip to our Capital for a tad over 7 quid ... that's a round trip of nearly 50 miles ... and it's totally unrestricted in terms of choice of travelling times.
That same fare drops to a measly fiver during the evening! ;)

Then why does it take you so long? blimey I have driven to meetings in South London and back in a day in a Cortina, I also lived in Hertford for 7 years; I am about half hour north of Darlington, Hertford to here in 3 - 3.5 hours in a Talbot Matra Rancho, quicker in other cars, assuming the roads are fine, and they have all been upgraded since those day. Use the A1 not the M1........ :y :y

More to the point, since when did Tunnie travel at 80 ::)
