Title: Greetings!
Post by: TimC on 04, March, 2011, 02:13:28 PM
Hello All,

My girlfriend and I are in the process of looking for a property to rent near Bristol - we're not too far away as it is - just over the bridge.

I've had numerous 7-type kits before - MK, MNR, Striker, Locost racer etc.  My current project is an Autotune Gemini which is in the very early stages and is effectively on-hold awaiting funds.
I've got a blog which is 'ere: http://timsmnr.blogspot.com/ (http://timsmnr.blogspot.com/)

I'll hopefully get along to an event once we're moved.  Incidentally, if anyone knows of a nice property to rent in a rural location within c.30mins of the M4/M5 junction, please let me know!

Cheers,
Tim

Thank you for the warm welcome!  It's quite 'painful' seeing you all bringing your toys out of winter hibernation and even doing your first track days of the year!

Off to see a property near Nibley tomorrow so fingers firmly crossed!

Thanks everyone fpr the welcome.  Richard - I think we may have spoken on the phone about 18months ago when I was looking at the Legend?

Does anyone know Kingswood, Wooton-Under-Edge at all?  Any comments?

Tim,

Wotton under Edge - great if you enjoy walking or riding a push bike and there's some good country roads.  Strong local community with a few pubs, shops and a small cinema.  Not much else but pleasant residential areas.  One good school - KLB and two golf courses (one at the top of the hill (Cotswold Edge) and one at the bottom (Cannons Court)).  Dont know much about Kingswood but others will.

IMHO Thornbury is better but I would say that.

I would have a look using Google maps, but maybe you have already.

Thornbury and surrounding is nice, Kingswood is more populated and I wouldent call it rural.

Really - are you sure you're not confusing Kingswood, Wooton with Kingswood, Brizzle?
