Monaco is nice to visit. I've been there a couple of times, each within a couple of weeks of the race (once before, once after). I found it bearable then, so remove the F1 bods and temporary seating/scaffolding etc and it'll open up even more. SqeezyJet flight to Nice on the cheap, hotel in Nice and 30 minute train to Monaco. Cheap but posh feeling (at times) weekend away.
I gather that traffic is a bit stationary a lot of the time.

Yay Bushy Park traffic....
Over Kingston Bridge, turn left and immediately right and go round the east and north of the Park. You're on the M3 and away before you know it.Absolutely no good if you're going to Walton and Hersham.
Took me an hour and a half to get there from Kingston Gate, Richmond Park, then another 35mins to the M25 and then it was solid on the A3 from Ockham.

Not in your Sprinter hopefully....
HM Queenie doesn't like [forbids] trade vehicles of any type in her Royal parks.
I was stopped by the park feds in an unwritten Escort van in 1998 but blagged my way
out of a ticket even though i was carrying some high precision equipment in the back
to be delivered by courier later.
Not much use now but if the feds didn't catch you then all's good.
In the Sprinter, but it's okay, I was on the A308 between it and Hampton Court Park.HM Queenie doesn't like [forbids] trade vehicles of any type in her Royal parks.

Used the stop/start traffic to see what torque steer was like. Then I remembered it's rear wheel drive...

OH,thought you were inside the park....
2nd attempt at posting this,my internet is so carp i have no idea what's going to come

It would be quicker to write my posts on a tortoise and send it walking to Teddington.

I know exactly where you mean, down the side of the University halls on the B358. I, however was heading to Weybridge/Addlestone Business Park, via Walton...

Quick question, are all Nissan Figaro's fitted with Turbos or are there any Naturally aspirated ones?
The original spec was tubocharged. Any without implies a modification.Bizarrely, when I worked in Wembley, the architect next door to the office imported them as a sideline.

I'm just watching some F1 practise from Monaco on Sky.
Monaco looks both utterly lovely yet also utterly unbearable.
To elaborate, it looks clean, sunny, interesting, happy, historical, lively etc. yet staggeringly crowded and claustrophobic on a different level.
I know it's F1 weekend and all that but it looks like you can't move.
Go there outside of F1 weekend and it's fine. Nice town but nothing special, really...Monaco looks both utterly lovely yet also utterly unbearable.
