Is it really possible to do Newcastle to Trafford Park iun three hours? I'm wondering about the cup game.

[thegazelle]

not in a canal barge


but yes with a good run in a car

Sunday night traffic variable, but if you can figure the corner cutting route through Leeds takes a fair few miles off the A1M, M62 route.

3 hours! I did it in 2 hours once in a Daewoo Matiz.

Not sure which I should be least proud of.

2 hours in a Matiz?

Was it on the back of a flatbead?   










(I don't own a car, or even know how to drive one)

Nope geniune - North Shields to Stretford to be precise.  170 miles - I considering the top speed of said Matiz is 82 mph I'm not sure how I managed it.  But I did.  It was a Saturday morning and I fancied visiting my family on the off-chance.  I once got it to do 100mph on a very downhill very windy road.  Ahh the ignorance of youth.  And the stupidity.

I took a little longer going back, those little 700cc engines weren't made for such punishment.

I now drive a diesel vectra and will only exceed 60mph if my life depends on it.

I don't think I have moved far enough. *Packs essentials and leggs it*

Rocket assistance?

Why don't you get the coach Hugh, since you've passed your driving test all you have done is ruin the environment. 

[Hugh]

Thanks for that.

NB coach is rarely a possibility these days becauser of work. I remember the time at Southport, waiting ages for someone to find their way back to rthe coach. And then there's match delays. No, starting work at 8pm I don't think it's a possibility, and even in a car, only just.
