Hi Guys,
Me and the mrs have decided to get out of essex (over-priced shithole), we are moving in 3 months to Bingham Just outside nottingham City center.
just wondered if anyone lived there or nearby cause if theres one thing i will miss about essex is the car scene.

Doesn't Nottingham have an even bigger car scene? Seem to remember they have funny laws about not being able to drive around in a group of cars more than 3 because of all the "trouble" car cruising caused in the 90s?
