Hitchin Race Circuit is a photo-realistic 3D model of the town centre and some of the other streets that can be played as a computer racing game. (Like Formula 1 racing at Monaco, Silverstone etc)  Download it and race against friends or against others online. It's absolute fun to play a computer game and see Hitchin also. Some buildings are now gone and others have changed hands, so added local history too.  Find it here http://www.hitchin-circuit.co.uk/ and enjoy.

Not necessarily to do with Hitchin per se, but it was passing through it and it was a photographic opportunity not to be missed. It was an unusual van design and some thought had gone in to it and it wasn't the usual dull, plain or un-imaginative thing that is usually sported on vans up and down the length and breadth of the British Isles. More please.
