Thanks to Fenrir for the heads up on where's best to get in. Went here to go round it on my bike and leave the pictures for another visit, but had my iPod on me so decided to get a few snaps whilst there. Had fun riding out the main exit on my bike waving at the secca in his little cabin the bulb. :D:

The former test track opened in the 1970s and was used by Leyland Motors to trial prototypes and vehicles on a series of different road surfaces once they came off the production line. There has been recent interest in development for 850 new homes, industrial space and playing fields.

Big up Stuart (Non-Member) for joining me on, what would otherwise be a boring Friday night :)


The workshop.

Rest of this bike had been burnt.

Don't quite think this is what it originally said.
