Driving in London

I just got home after a trip to Europe including a week in Central London staying in Mayfair. We loved it all!

I saw a few interesting cars, but no M5s. I experienced the joys of the congestion charge when picking up my rental from Avis. I didn't drive much in central London (thank God!), but managed to get out to Hampshire to visit friends for a couple of days.

While stuck in traffic (not hard to do) it got me thinking - where do you go to give your M5 some exercise if you live in London?

Re: Driving in London

Good question.

I like to take the car out of town, for example:

GREAT DRIVES: Devizes to Andover (lot of pics)

The great thing about the M5 is it's versatility. One moment it can gently potter around town and the next it's a supercar

Looks like plenty of nice roads if you know where to look.
