Ths was launched from the cinema at Cribbs, up the dual carriageway and er, over the M&S roundabout on 26th September.

A few days a go it was still there, the shrubs have grown and it was well concealed. Ayone else spotted it?

That new stretch between Cribbs and the A38 really does have some cracking roundabouts on it, but so easy to get caught out.
They look like they can be taken much quicker than what the laws of physics actually allow.

Do you know if the driver's out yet? If not I could pop by with some sandwiches and a can...

I do enjoy it, last bit of a long journey to wake me up before the office. So often that some doddery old fart impedes my progress though!!

There always seems to be some angry codger in a Meriva or other "I've given up all hope on life" vehicle who doesn't like being passed.

Wish it had been completed when I had a barking rwd and could switch all the H&S gadgets off smile

Not sure mine is barking mad, but I always enjoy it in my 911 (no H&S gadgets). It is a great bit of road, but still a lot of loose gravel on some of the roundabouts.

I saw the Rover last Tuesday with the police tape around it, didn't think it would still be there. Might have to take the other route into work and see if it's still there on Monday.
