Mani , it was probably in the late 50s when the first section of motorway opened in the UK , it was the Preston by-pass and folks used to go out for a Sunday afternoon drive just to say they had used it , don't think there was a speed limit on in those days either , bit like a few years later when families would drive out to Ringway (now Manchester) airport just to watch the planes take-off and land .
