Joe, That long black piece of road up here, its only a motorway sometimes!

Its also used as a carpark, so it depends at what point of shift between motorway and carpark you get to it at, as to the speed.

Often it is in a state of "walkway" This is because no one can decide if they want to motor or park.

My 950 must have a special electronic chip, it has the ability to make carpark or walkway back into motorway just for its self! the chip does need some tuning, i find the cars going between carpark lanes are sometimes not repelled by this chip, i am working on tuning it with my left thumb and a button with airhorns connected to it and with finger and arm gestures. I will tune the chip eventually!

Let us know when you are up here again. We'll have to meet up for a brew if at all possible Joe.
