Until you come up against the twunt doing 48 who brakes to 40 at every camera because they ARE TOO FECKIN THICK TO BREATHE WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS!
Oooh I feel better now. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Best advice in here in a long time Simon, yep cruise control maybe 1 or 2mph more than limit, and glide by hassle free.

M3 is littered with SPECs cameras and morons who brake when they pass them  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Oh you have followed him too ALTERNATIVES...............No alternatives for off-road capability.
If you want Surrey plush, go for a Range Rover. If you want Manchester bling it's the Range Rover Sport. But if it's a seven-seat, go anywhere 4x4, it's time to Disco.

Then there's the morons that get letters asking for money coz they can't understand to concept of 'average' speed 
I find sitting dead on the limit in the outside lane is best, seem to get a pretty clear road through the roadworks that way The End

They make you dress like an ewok? Not exaclty "fashion", but there's no accounting for taste I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Issue for me is not about discipline through specs, its about the added time to journey. It was 8pm at night the roads were very quiet. I was comfortable doing about 75-80 but 70 miles of the journey are at 50mph.
My maths is ropey but isn't 70 miles @ 80 mph = 52 minutes?
70 miles @ 50mph = 84 minutes
So the journey took an extra 32 minutes, thats the bit that annoys me.

Ken,
You're not still driving around with that Wookie mask on are you??  
Could you imagine the reaction if you did..... That would confuse the poor fookers...Not that it takes much anyway. Regards, Trev.
