Such a moronic scheme. I've gone home for easter already, my mate today said the traffic was absolutely ridiculous.

I was out on a driving lesson and we spent most of the time sat stationary in traffic, we had just come out of St Radiguns car park and saw the Mulsane then got to the end of the road by the mini roundabout by station road west and the only thing stopping people driving up to the towers is a single police officer dressed head to toe in flourecent clothing

Silver vx220 heading into Maidstone on the a229 tonight

Saw one last night on Brishing Lane, Parkwood turning into Joywood about 5:15 - may have been that one?

[Stew2000]

I saw a blue VX220 this morning on the A21 outside Robertsbridge.

[JFReturns]

It wasn't me in Maidstone BTW...

It does seem a daft idea, is it going to be permanent?

It's a 12 month trial apparently...

Have spotted some tasty BMWs between Canterbury and Maidstone:
Silver Z8 (one of only 99 in the country I believe)
Black M135i
Orange/red M135i
Phoenix yellow Z4 (not M)
Dakar yellow Z3 with luggage racks!
Black M6
Black v10 M5
E30 cabriolet
E30 estate with BBS wheels
Many e46 M3s but most noticeable was a white one - did they come in white?

Lots of other very interesting cars about, especially on the sunny weekends.

Oh and saw a Testorossa in Kings Hill. Think it's the only one I've seen on the roads

It'll be forever then, seems bizarre to allow the buses to continue going through there when they are the biggest vehicles that use that road.

[JFReturns]

First VX220 I have seen since I got mine, Tescos Whitstable. Nice colour, speedster badging, anthracite wheels.

[Stew2000]

If it's RHD why have the Opel badging?!

[JFReturns]

Aesthetics probably; it looked good IMO.

Irish import?

They won't be able to go through just around on the road to the side of the towers which will be on a traffic light system

Thats a local car, it lives under a cover near the cricket ground. I remember when it was left without wheels for ages which explains the anthracite wheels now

Is nothing going through the road under the towers any more then, I haven't seen it since this new scheme was brought in?

[Gixer]

I've always gone that way since they sodded up the one way system with bus lanes etc. oh well. Next they'll be moaning the town center is dying......
The only time I go there now is for work. I don understand councils and their constant need to fk up the roads
