You could always use a different kind of motive power...

You'd have to be a total sadist to want to sit in a smart car on the a303 on a saturday in the school holidays!!!!
....enjoy the traffic Tommi!!
Why don't you come down friday?

That is precisely why my E28 was killed on the way home from RRG09. It over heated crawling at snails pace up a hill near Stone Henge in VERY bad traffic, and there was no where to stop the car. It was either cause a massive tailback or hope for the best... and that's why I was low loadered 200miles home!
I'm going via Warwickshire on the way there, but I'm sure as hell not heading home on the A303 again.

The 303 is always backed up in the Summer months. You'd be better off going down the M4 and cutting across from Bristol.
