As an F1 fan I would say maybe do a trip around all the silverstone area teams HQ for a drive by. Brawn is a nice sight. renault is a bit boring (can not see much of it). Super Aguri was one of the friendliest to turn up to.

if you are going to glasgow it would not be that far out of the way
What's wrong with Glasgow :p?

I was more on why he wanted to go there? instead of there being anything wrong with the place.

Just stay the hell off the M25. Average speed cameras, massive sections of 30mph limits, standstill traffic...

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

TAKE THE M6 TOLL

Best advice i can give.

I did Mcr to London last week and i took the Toll lovely and clear road but traffic on the radio said M6 (non toll) was rammed also road works with 50 speed limit enforced.

Roads going to glasgow are usualy pretty clear and once your near scotland really nice to drive on.

But the Scottish Police are hard on speeders so watch it.

but your best bet is M1, M6, M74

I think I'd rather drive than take the train, leaves on the line or the wrong type of snow... I remember one journey took 18 hours from Scotland to Plymouth.
