I was in Kent yesterday and was sorely tempted to drive back to British West Oxfordshire with the roof down! But the prospect of getting caught out in rain on the M25 / M40 made me think again! I've done M25/M4/A4 Theale / Pangbourne / Streatley / Grove / Kingston Bagpuize to Witney many a time and there are plenty of places to stop for roof operation, but yesterday I had to get back as early as possible. The Pangbourne route isn't as much fun now with all the nannying speed limits it now has, but at least it avoids the hellish Oxford traffic!
