YES -BACK IN 1994

DON'T STAY IN LONDON.  BEST IS TO RENT A CAR AT HEATHROW OR GATWICK AIRPORTS 
AND DRIVE DOWN.  IT'S ABOUT 2 HOURS.  NEAREST LARGE TOWN IS SOUTHAMPTON, 
ABOUT 30 MINS DRIVE AWAY.  I ACTUALLY STAYED IN THE VILLAGE OF BEAULIEU AT 
THE MONTAGUE ARMS 24 BEDROOM HOTEL.  NOT CHEAP, BUT GOOD VALUE PACKAGE FOR 
THE WEEKEND, INCLUDING DINNER, BREAKFAST AND A PACKED LUNCH.
How did you get to the autojumble and how long
> did it take you? 
ARRIVE EARLY TO AVOID THE LONG WAIT TO GET IN AND TO GET A GOOD PARKING SPACE
What would you do different next time.  NOTHING
  > autojumble worthwhile? 
DEFINITELY, IF YOU HAVE AN OLD BRITISH CAR
I would like to go but I would like to know a little
> more about what to expect before I commit to going.
TRY TO FIND SOMEBODY TO GO WITH TO SPLIT THE COT OF THE RENTAL CAR, HOTEL 
DOUBLE ROOM ETC.

I WOULD GO AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT IF I CAN FIND THE TIME & MONEY.

JUST DO IT!
