Default London Ringway.....

Fed up of all those people who have been to the Nurburgring flaunting it with those silhouette of the track stickers?

Or maybe its the guys down the local biker cafe with their Silverstone or Brands Hatch ones that are getting at you.

Well, fear not, Soulkiss Enterprises, assited by The GIMP have the answer for all those in the South East.

I give you "The London Ringway", also known as "Odegra","Thatchers Folly" and "The M25".



Used in the late 80's by the "boys from the City" in their Supercars, laptimes (including a stop at the Dartford Crossing) were often sub one hour, making an average speed of 117mph, this was of course before the massive over-installation of Speed Camera's,

So, don't delay, get yours today*, also available in Black.

* Not avaliable in Shops, Online, or in fact anywhere, I was just bored at work. If you REALLY want one, maybe Paul the 6th can help.

I remember the days of the M25 lap records and the alleged £50000 prize for beating it,but have never met anyone who actually took part.I did sometimes see exotic cars blatting round the northern section late at night,but those "in the know" reckon it never happened?????

Don`t know about any Gumball style events but there were definate "goings on" at one point as it made it into the news or some other feature program that doesn`t normally cover that sort of stuff . I remember the Police stating that the exotic cars they had all seen were behaving very well ..... suspiciously well , and that nobody was being prosecuted . Dunno anything about money but the Lap time has been touted around for many a long year

Hmmm maybe AR09 should have an M25 section.......... or a middle of the night ride-out.

Of course that would mess with the drinking events......

Oh dude no . Last time I was on the M25 at night it was just me and about 40 truck drivers and one Ponce in an Audi trying his luck , During the day it is more like a car park during rush hour times , I navigate it only at night if I have to .

"Many phenomena - wars, plagues, sudden audits - have been advanced as evidence for the hidden hand of Satan in the affairs of Man, but whenever students of demonology get together, the M25 London orbital motorway is generally agreed to be among the top contenders for exhibit A."

I was referring to a night event - I also toyed with calling it "Odegra" - actually time for an edit.
