A SWB tranny wouldn't be covered by this - seem to recall MGW is 2.8T?

A LWB probably would be though...

Post by: TheBoy on 03 December 2010, 08:36:26: I like Boris. I'm not saying the bumbling old git is any good, just that I like him ;D

In his defence, the congestion zone is shrinking by about a third though, which means I don't have to tolerate the overpriced, uncomfortable, unreliable chiltern slug - its now cheaper to drive and park, than get 2 people on cheap day return to Marylebone...
