We can add it but only if we add Swindon which I'm not sure about

I'd vote against Swindon. If you're already adding the Bristol, the M4 would feel too busy. For those that have driven the English stretch of the M4 between Bristol and Slough, it's a very boring stretch of motorway with nothing to see. I'd rather that feeling be captured in the game than to cram in a rather small pointless town. It would be far better to have a more detailed Bristol with a nice M4/M5 interchange than to cram in a small Bristol and a small Swindon.

I'd agree on that for the exact same reason; adding Swindon so close to Bristol is pure overkill.

There's another magic roundabout in Colchester:

...however, it suffers from many of the same problems as Swindon - it is very close to Chelmsford and Harwich. Ipswich would also encroach on Colchester, if built.

Normally, I'd vote against these smaller towns but that roundabout in Swindon is quite famous indeed ... so that's actually something I'd like to see in the game. Maybe not as fully functional city with companies, garage and stuff. But the roundabout would be very cool (would the AI be able to handle it at all?)

I'd rather vote against Swindon, cause, due to this roundbout, it will be far to big both by looking at the map and be driving through it. I dont feel it will be good if we had it only as drive-through roundbount. In other option it will grow to much IMO.

I failed my driving test in Hemel Hempstead, I dispise that town, and its skatepark, its too expensive and isn't that good. Swindon is another poinless town id Bristol is to be added, Bristol would be a great addition, very old architecture and lovely countryside around it. Would love to see my 'hometown' included, but I fear no-one is that stupid to make Aylesbury.
That's the road to happiness and personal satisfaction, That's why they don't want you to take it.
