Moved from Yorkshire (Hull) to Guildford back in march and again moved to Woking near the station about 2 months ago.

Ive not really been out for any drives yet as I dont know wheres any good round here. I found a few roads down near Shalford, Peasmarsh etc near the B3000 back when I was in Guildford. Are there any decent roads round here I could check out.

Traffic seems to be a huge problem being Northern I am not used to it and its fairly frustrating as everyone seems to drive like a c*** down here, plus the smaller back roads round here are not best suited to an E92

Cheers all. Driving standards down here are frankly shocking, I have had more near misses in 9 months than I have in 8 years driving up north.

Alex, I read about Pirbright in another thready today actually so Ill be sure to check that out sometime, looks suitable for an e92!

Nah I'm not too strange. Drive as 320d though - are diesels allowed?! - Ill keep my eye out smile

Been oh Fish and Chip runs many times with other PHers and they were a good crowd.

......God knows how Hull was awarded city of culture......

pretty soon you'll be driving like a c*** yourself, mike. biggrin

you get used to it and when you go back "home" to see relatives you realise how slow they drive in the north.

i'm from the wirral, originally, and when i go back to my ma's everyone is flashing headlights and flicking vees at me. i'm just driving in my normal (southern) way but it's still horse'n'cart style up there.

Already do smile

Was the whole pulling out at junctions that got me to begin with. Now its just the lack of common sense and the astounding use of roundabouts that's the problem.

Northerners are horribly slow at driving though.
