Not sure, I know I'd missed the start of the GP so probably about half one, silver cerb with gormless driver sent to sleepo land by twenty miles of timed cameras!

I was on the A52 at about that time heading towards Grantham, but I neither saw, nor flashed at a silver Cerb...

The SPECS cameras add an interesting calculation to the overtake - how many seconds and how far above 60, how long to the next camera => how much to slow down below 60 to get the average back to 60. A game I've been successful at so far (and to think I failed my RAF navigator tests...!).

I did see a blue Tuscan at the Holme Pierrepont junction however, but the miserable br didn't wave!

Grim weather anyhow - we were belatedly making for the Hunstanton meet on the Norfolk coast, but turned back at Grantham and stayed local instead.
Consider this a semi-spotted anyhow

Hi Nick

It did look (from behind) your colour - perhaps it was a camera flash!

Good look with the camera game, you'll need it if you travel that route regular!

We were heading towards Notts after a heavy party the previous night with a realy nice car crowd, including an 850 BHP Supra from Germany. Grantham was at standstill with roadworks, the A52 at Derby had tailbacks to Spondon and all those cameras to boot. Took over 2 hours to do 50 or so miles!
