Welcome to the forum mate, car looks tidy.  Well done on the cleaning job at the weekend.  I went out and snowfoamed mine, washed it, then it started p!ssing it down.   :sad1:

No longer that way, no. Live down in Wiltshire now, but Ma and Pa live in Eton Wick. I lived in Sandringham Court by the train station when I was a nipper.

Haymill was a secondary school in my day. It was the one you didn't want to go to because it meant you'd failed your 11+ exam!

So are you a fellow Burnham grammar student as well as a Burnham resident?  :jumping:

No, I went to Priory middle school, but my parents moved before I left there and I ended up going to Windsor Boys School. I'm old enough that I'd have been at school with Ulrika Jonsson if I'd gone to BGS!

Welcome Aramat!

Lovely looking ED30 you have there - so clean it currently puts mine to shame!

I'm just down the road from you in Maidenhead. Think I saw you tonight, as I recognise the reg no - I think I passed you on the slip road from the A329 onto the M4 at about 5:50 - mine was the grey 3-dr Edition. You went past me on the M4 when I got stuck on the inside lane behind an HGV...

Hope you enjoy the site - its been useful (and expensive) for me!

Cheers,
Dave

Good to see you - don't see too many Editions around here!
I work at Winnersh Triangle, so sounds as though we have similar commutes...
Cheers for the kind words - darkness must have hid all of the salt and grime from the previous week!

Yeah deffo - must be some good locations around here for a steel grey Edition photoshoot!

Cheers,
Dave

I see another eddy when i get on from junction 7 in the mornings and he gets off at junction 8, you may have seen him - its a black 5 door 07 plate, looks as if its been lowered because it sits neatly.

Oh wow im surprised iv only managed to see you once!

haha im sure its not that bad, mind you the grit didn't do anyone favours!!

Iv always used Dorney lake for photos and they come out very well, haven't had a decent day to take the eddy there yet!
