And aside from that, this picture made me realise the lack of descriptive direction signs around Austin here. There's plenty pointing you to different roads - I-35, 360, etc - but unless I've been missing them, there seems to be very few indicating the route to actual places. Maybe this is why it's taking me a while to learn my way around the place?

Ah, Bell End... Wollaston, near Wellingborough, Northants.

At any given moment there are thirty Viz readers queueing up to have their picture taken next to that sign!!

Is it true that when you buy a Dodge Hemi from our partner store it comes with a free gas station ?

The number of people trading them in with 1,000 miles or less on them is astonishing. The resale value sucks.

I've actually seen those signs as I used to live in Chelmsford, I think the bunker was up for sale to the public.

Personal experience - I took a Hemi truck in trade, when the owner first came in it had 430 miles on it. He actually traded at about 1,020 miles.

We called our Dodge store for a price. The GSM said he had two with low miles already and didn't want another one !

Unofficial gas mileage is about 8 or 9 on these vehicles.
