A few weeks ago I got an email.
"Vauxhall is releasing its new Insignia soon," it said. "Come on down to Millbrook and try it out!"
"Looks like fun," I thought, and signed up.
And so it was that yesterday I and Mamma got in the car and drove down to Oxford, stayed the night with my sister, and headed off bright and early this morning - at the crack of one thirty PM - to the Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire. We arrived, left our cameras at the lodge (Just below and to the right of the marker on the map below) at the gate - Millbrook is owned by GM and used for testing of lots of prototype vehicles, both civilian and military, so they don't like people running around taking pictures - and cruised on in behind the Vauxhall Antara with the "FOLLOW ME" sign on the back.
