8657/21576First leg of our trip to Cornwall today, heading for a stopover at mum and dad's in Cheddar. It was one of the smoothest journeys we've had to Somerset and the only really notable thing that happened was in Luton.We became aware of the fact that a car a few vehicles ahead of us was belching out exhaust fumes. We drove through a big cloud of the stuff and it stunk out our car. As we approached a roundabout the spurting turned into more of a blanket. The white van behind the car disappeared in a cloud of white smoke.
