what to do in london, when one is w/o his 914 Options

[double-a]

my company is sending me to london for two weeks, and oddly enough refused to pay to have my 914 shipped over there with me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

so what can a guy see while he's there? any 914world.com members in the london/teddington area?

Entirely depends on what floats your boat. London is a huge city, with an excellent mass-transit system and loads of touristy stuff. London also has the best cabs and cab drivers on the planet.

If you're looking for random car guy stuff, just wander around. You'll see a lot of cars you've never seen before, things we simply don't get here in the US. Most of the really interesting car stuff there happens out in the countryside, usually in dark little sheds hidden in the bracken. If you can take a day trip during the week, find a big train station, get a map, and try to arrange a trip to the Morgan factory in Malvern. One of the only places left in the world where a car factory still has more human beings than machines.

At the weekend, see if you can find out where a hillclimb is taking place. This is rather like autocross up a (usually gentle) hill, and the cars that show up are often very wild, purpose-built things. Brits take motorsport very seriously.
