No way Jose! You’ve got more chance of me tap dancing naked up the M6  than me driving either through Madrid or anywhere within a 30 miles radius of the place!!

Don’t get me wrong, Madrid is a lovely City and well worth a visit and, yes, I have been there many times. BUT I DON’T DO THE DRIVING. NO CHANCE!

Talk about Silverstone combining with a Gran Prix and both joining the M25, then you now have some idea of what it is like on the Madrid Ring Road! I freeze. I become a stone statue as we get anyway near 30 miles of the City. My arms go all pins and needles, back of my knees go cold. I become a complete wimp. Which is strange because I have driven through Berlin during its rush hour, I have driven myself, all alone, to Dusseldorf, I have driven on my own all over the UK, BUT I can’t drive on the Madrid bypass. BUT, I have hung out of the passenger window during the bypass rush hour, while we have been towing a trailer, to slow down the traffic so we could join. That holds no fear, BUT to drive it, no way.
