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. :-(

Adz.

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?
