Sorry, to be off-topic, but I thought I'd ask my favourite board a quick question.

How long will it take me to drive a rental car (with satnav I hope)from South Warnborough in Hampshire to Heathrow on a Monday afternoon?

TIA

I'm not game to mention cricket in case you mention Shane Warne.

That should give you a good estimate. Since it will be afternoon you should miss the worst traffic. But you may want to check traffic reports on the day, can be a bit erratic at the moment (more people in their cars for obvious reasons).

Mark, will you be out of the lockup in the Alice after next weekend ?

Scud will get you into trouble big time as he's a bit of a ratbag.....and surely if you hire a Gallardo you could take the long way round and still make it !!

John, I won't be led astray - I hope. Alice Springs and Uluru won't be the same again though. 2 Lambos, 2 Ferraris, 2 Porsches and an NSX (and an EVO 9 press car) will look pretty awesome in the Red Centre.

Thanks for that.
