Robin_Banks OP My job on the forum Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 1,349 Peterborough, CAMBS	I'm booked in for some work on Wednesday (or rather the coupe is) anyone else around? I'll be down there all day and will probably have a walk to the shopping centre to amuse myself for a while if anyone fancies tagging along. Anyway, I was just looking on Google Earth out of interest and I spotted a track type place west of PowerItalia. Enter 51"35'01.77"N 0"24'10.47"E into GE and it'll take you there. Does anybody know what this is? I'm just curious! PB #08

Does anybody know what this is? I'm just curious! Lol, i wouldn't go near those shops. I was brought up possibly 200 yards from them and wouldn't go near them now. The people are all a bit 'funny'. 3 shoulders and 4 legs seems to be a common sight there /shudder I reckon that track of yours (can't operate google maps...) would be Ford dunton. I've often fantasized about sneaking in there one night for a good blat. Maybe you could ask them if you could use their track? $\:P$ F**** b**** thing...

Robin_Banks OP My job on the forum Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 1,349 Peterborough, CAMBS	I don't know, I thought the shops were ok last time I walked there last summer. Had a wander round, bought a few things I needed and had a meal and a pint in a pub, can't remember the name. I think it was a Wetherspoons. I didn't really look at the people! It looks like a proper road, meant for real cars. Two straights with a sweeping bend either end. PB #08

Does anyone from around that area know of a pub that will be showing this? I remember the pub I went in before as being The Moon On The Square - do they show sports? Thanks. PB #08

VERY strange looking people around!! PowerItalia employees and taxi driver excluded of course. Oh well, new rad and oil cooler/pipes sorted at least. I wonder if it'll stop me from being paranoid?!?
