It would've looked better with wrinkled door cards

Used replacements is what I did too on my 940.

There are miniature versions in the back too

I have sourced two used front cards .. just have to feel up to the 6 hour round trip to get them

Being realistic, factor in traffic, comfort breaks, a food stop, a chat with the current owner of said door cards and potentially getting lost due to a roadworks diversion and it's probably more like 9-10 hours to be honest.

Can't help but get playful at times but unfortunately most of the route will be average speed cameras galore so the cruise control is going to be in charge for most of it

I'm guessing you're looking at A141, A1, M25, M3 to get there? The A1 and M25 certainly have average speed cameras, not sure about the M3 as i haven't been down it for several years but fairly sure it didn't last time.

That said those things seem to breed with remarkable efficicency while the potholes remain untouched.

What area of Southampton are you heading to?

Not sure yet hoping I maybe able to arrange an exchange at some services to shorten the journey...

As for the M3 and speed cameras...
