On the site of the old Leyland Test track, Road train Avenue, Albion Road etc. 

there's also Assembly Drive and Atlantean Drive. Also spotted Alvis Close.

The rain's off and the results are in - happy days.
Bit of DOT4 and two hoses should sort that out

Coulthard drive leading to Triumph ave? Didn’t happen that often to commemorate it in road names. 
I like roads being given names that reflect the previous life of a site, better than overused names like the lake  District themed estate at top left of the map.

There should be more car based road naming, especially old British marques and models.

Check out a map of Jaywick in Essex for old car names.

And Towcester for roads with an F1 connection

Graham Hill was predictable . Shame they ran out of British names in Jaywick . ( Shame about Jaywick , full stop, really).

Bet that rides fucking horribly. 🤮

A friend had one for a few years and it was smooth as fuck, lovely place to be! Big fat tyres on tiny steelies, gorgeous squashy velour seats. 

Mpg and getting on a bit after 3/4 winters of salt saw it moved on before it started getting really needy. If I ever win the lottery and such things as fuel prices are of no concern I'd happily smoke about in one, auto obv

Good availability of green blood at a French petrol station. My wife remains unconvinced that buying and driving back an XM would be both easy and fun.

I know someone whilst out camping, on the moors was starting to get very cold feet, so put them in warm fresh cow dung.

What's slightly terrifying is that I can tell what most of those cars are.
