I'll be heading to London in a few weeks with the family, and would love to sneak in an automotive activity or two. We'll be in the city for a few days, and then head south to Hampshire for a few. Can any of you locals suggest anything? Looks like all of the tracks are shut down this time of year, and unfortunately a trip to Lister Bell is too far out of the way. Is the London Motor Museum worthwhile? Thanks in advance, Max

Try this one when you get down to Hampshire?

Also if you are in Hampshire try the Haynes motor museum.... This company has written thousands of books on how to repair all makes of car, there is a car collection, restaurant and memorabilia....

Not a million miles away is the Bombay Sapphire gin distillery...... Just leave the kids at home !

enjoy your trip

I'll second Guy's comment on Beaulieu, I go there at least once a year either to the autojumble or one of their other events that are on, it's also good to look round the abbey and grounds.
