**Felixstowe Run - Sunday 7th May 2006
The premier road run in East Anglia for vehicles over 30 years old. Last year 500 vehicles took part. Vehicles gather in Christchurch Park ready for the start of the run at noon, then line up on the Felixstowe promenade all afternoon. A totally free event for the public!
Entries for the event have now reached 500, which is effectively the maximum number that can be accommodated on the prom at Felixstowe. **


Chap here will be doing the run on his BSA Golden Flash. First vehicle off at noon. Might take longer than 10 minutes, some of the older vehicles need that amount of time just to get up the Woodbridge Road hill.

Thanks, Although the weather doesnt sound too encouraging, my kids love this event, last year there were a couple of proper vintage cars there (1 was steam powered), not to mention a tidy lotus europa. its nice to get up close in the park before they leave (although if it's raining it might be better to catch up with them on Felixstowe sea front).

Sounds nice but I don't think many of us here would qualify! Well there's always 'Crankedup' of course

I tend to try to watch them as they drive down the sea front....it's really nice to see some lovely classics on the move.

Yes your right John, I shall be representing P.H. on the run with good old Austin 12/4. Unfortunately I have not got the Bullnose Morris running yet other wise it would have been used, his capable of 50mph you know, or so some say

If any PH'er would like to join me you are most welcome. I shall be leaving my home in Occold at 8.30am sharp.

Hi crankedup, Me and Shirley will come and say hello in the park, not sure what time, depends what time she finishes work.
If we dont see you there we will say hello in Felixstowe

[crankedup]

Hi Steve, look forward to seeing you both again

erm, you've obviously been stuck behind me on the road at some time If I get 'burnt up' by a beezer enroute I guess that'al be you.

incidently my Brother will be going too, he will be on his beezer 350 single. Can't remember the model tho.

Went along for a nose today at Ipswich.

Weather was not great, but I managed to get a few pics that I'm reasonably happy with...





Have a look here if you want.

Hi crankedup I had a walk around the cars at Felixstowe saw your lovely car but couln't see you. it was a pity about the weather good turn out of cars though.
It amazed me how many open top cars were left with their tops down and the interiors getting soaked.

[crankedup]

Hi Tankerman, yes sorry I missed you, most likely I was downing one of many hot cups of tea from the park cafe at the time. I too was amazed that so many owners left the lids of thier cars, even on the seafront

A great day out tho and look forward to next years run.
