Stew Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 My mate recently got done for 80mph in a 70. Be warned, that's what Cruise Control is for. He also picked up another 3 points that day and a puncture....... Quote

WWTC Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 I used this marvellous new technology called goole maps: 6 and a half hours it reckons! You actually go by google maps? Your from glasgow? Try glasgow to edinburgh in google maps, that how long it takes you???? Now multiply that error by, say, 10! Quote

Google maps says from the centre go Glasgow to the centre of Edinburgh it would take an hour on the button. I think given the heavier traffic in both city centres an hour is about spot on. Quote

Thats a fair point actually mate Although i do think, with a bit of luck ofcourse, you can travel a bit quicker than google suggests! Knowing my luck, i'll be a bit slower. Im hoping for 7 hours if im honest. You going with google yourself on this one? 6 1/2 hours? Quote

rtbiscuit Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 depends which route you take, i drove mine back from edinbugh to suffolk. there are 2 main routes. up the M6 or up the A1 both are similiar distances but the M6 route is a lot quicker...but the A1 is a far more interesting drive, if you do the A1 route add another 1,5 hours.

Chris`I Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I would say Google is about right given that you will want to stop at least once on the way. Quote
