The road in which I live, Kellett Road, has beeen selected by the BBC to be filmed for a forthcoming ‘Dominic’s on the Case of Cars’. There are 30 houses in Kellett Road and 22 have agreed to be involved. I think it’s this high level of ‘we’ll give it a try’ which led to the road being chosen from the whole of the UK.

Part of the filming which takes place over several days will be me attempting to get to the Stagecoach Depot in Winchester for an 05:45 start without using my car! On Wednesday I’ll be given a folding bike to cycle to Southampton Central Station where the bike gets folded up and put in a bag which I carry on the train. In Winchester I put the bike together again and cycle to the depot. My worst fear is rain! And I bet it takes longer than the 17 minutes it takes by car.
