Is that all year round or only when they've got half the media industry of London (who're used to paying more than that) in town for the festival?

I had my last ride a couple of months ago and then bid it a fond farewell.
TBH I was finding it increasingly difficult to get in and out of, how these "midlife crisis" grandads drive around in sports cars I'll never know
Anyway I have a shiny new Qashqai which is a darned site easier on the back, the only problem is it doesn't go round corners quite like the Beamer did, on the bright side though I've gone up from 28mpg Urban to over 40mpg urban and I have a lot more toys to play with

Ah the Cashcow.
We hired the American equivalent, the Rogue, a couple of years ago in Phoenix.
Nice car and it coped with some naughty, not allowed by the hire company, off roading very well.
Very comfy. Last year we had a RAV4 which was also very comfortable.

Get some OS maps, find the legal rights of way near you, and give it a go! You'll find some cracking scenery to photograph and have a great time too. Here's my Disco pretending to be a boat on a byway near me:

Go on 'spider give it a go.
It'll only get dirty from the waste down so you wont need to wash the roof.
DM's right about the photo chances as well, I'm sure your lovely wife would go with you and help push you out if you got stuck, and the car as well!

Finally managed a night out at the Fringe last night.
Phil Kay at 9. Possibly the worst show in the history of the universe. Spent most of the night talking to his 4 year old son rather than perfroming his show. If anyone was thinking about going, I would strongly recommend against it.
Thankfully Jason Burn's midnight show was as good as ever.
