Hello all, back home from sea again. Will be splitting my time between Norfolk and Southampton as usual, hopefully make it on some East Anglia runs again, if there are any more this year or some next year (Fish and Chip Run?) missed the last few due to work!

On my usual PBH plate hopefully in the spotted thread soon, not exactly subtle! Going to get my mate to take some pro photos. Anyone got any suggestions for the Norfolk area, particularly the coast. I was thinking Wells Quay side might be a good shoot location?

Utterly gorgeous car - a favourite for 'Ringers, too. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled biggrin

As for photo locations, how about Hunstanton, by the lighthouse, then Blakeney, ending at the decent part of the quayside in Yarmouth - that should give your car a decent workout, too wink

That is one, of a very short list of cars that I would happily swap a plum for. You could park it in front of a steaming pile of manure and i'd only see the car. Very envious and will keep an eye open when I'm out and about.

I've tried lots of places for pics, mostly in suffolk though. The big wind turbine in Lowestoft can give a real change of perspective, Southwold has a few options, up on the sea wall at Aldeburgh is good. Felixstowe infront of the big stacks of containers for something different.

Thanks just Googled that and it looks a very worthy backdrop! Early morning blast as well maybe, Have to be careful as the semi slick cup tyres don't work below 10 deg c or in the wet!

If you are really lucky and come to Woodbridge you might see some fellow PHers.

Aye might do that, will need a pint and a bite to eat, she isn't the easiest car to drive lol! Clutch is probably twice as heavy as my C2S and the gearbox it fairly hard work until up to temp, but trust me I'm not complaining, its well worth the effort!

Just remember to post if you are coming to sunny Suffolk. The pictures will look better at high tide.

Hey Darren, events have conspired against me as usual so haven't actually driven it hardly, let alone sorted out the photos! Will hopefully get them done soon!

Cheers Neil!
