Central London can be a pain in the arse even at the weekend.

Central London can be a pain in the arse even at the weekend.

Well, yes but the best way to see a lot of the sights is on a scooter. And there is a certain sort of satisfaction ( = smugness!) from carving your way though the snarled up traffic. Central London is where scooters work best, IMO.




Or maybe I'm just used to it.

thats a big job, have a ganders at the water pump metal spindle when off to make sure not wearing a groove, and then you just need the water pump seals, i got mine for £12.40 delivered for the nexus mk1 mk 1 water pump just trying to save dosh

Cheers for that, will give that a go.

if you go m3 then m25 dont forget m25 will split at junction 5 so stay left there... from the m3 when you get to m25 about half way on m25 there is a fuel station.. then depends if you wanna stay on m25 over dartford brigde or come off it onto the a20 and go to a12 blackwall tunnell then a left onto m11

you be careful

I would always go anticlockwise on M25 from the M3 to M11, no tolls and apart from M4 section the traffic is much better.

I would go that way too, but isn't that clockwise?

Yes, just like my left hand is on the right! DOH!
