Thanks to Purrfect for a great afternoon - even though you did convince me to chauffeur you into the town centre coz you couldn't be bothered to walk;)

Ah we thought we saw you taking her up a side street... only to find it didn't fit and you had to back out...

Thanks for organizing another great run Mark!

Apologies for the detours into Newmarket Town Centre (and briefly along the A14) to the people following me on the Cambridge to Stowmarket leg - we are blaming google We got back on track pretty quickly though.

Only one c0ck-up on the Stowmarket to Aldeburgh leg too (so we're getting better!), plus the other group had caught up anyway so we just merged in once we'd turned round

A great mix of cars and good to meet a few more PHEA people too. Very tasty fish and chips plus ice-cream were well worth braving the wind for.

Dibs (and my navigator Donna)

Were you guys in the Corvette's? - If you guided me and several other hapless wanderers safely to the destination. Well done - The cars looked great as well!

Bugger.....forgot to say...

I spoke to the Bugatti/hybrid/something car owner - I can't remember what he called it. It was one of six cars build by the people who build the body(Ithink) of Bugatti's. This was their own design with a 5.8 corvette engine and they were called it the EB????. I kinda think its all a bit close to a Bugatti rip-off myself but he reckoned it was worth between £30-80k.

Beautiful car though........ I would look at buying one myself but there's only 2 in the UK

It is an EBM Tazio made in South Africa. Has Audi trans axel and a Chevy 5.8 v8

Yer runs rough until you get to 3k its a race car not really for the road. have a noisy roller in the head which is annoying , once again thanks for the day out.

We were actually in the silver scooby, ahead of the group of Corvette's, but yes we were "guiding" the group (well, we were at the front anyway!)

Like to add my thanks to Mark for organinsing the event. A nice drive to Alderburgh (although Grandad and I took a slightly different route); saw some nice cars going the 'wrong' way, including an Audi R8 near Yoxford. The queue for fish and chips wasn't as bad as I thought it might have been and I'm glad I took a coat; that wind was cold.

Look forward to the next one.

Lovely day, great drive, some fab cars....had really good time.
In fact... it was purrrrrrfect

[dirty boy]

Any photos guys?

[Mrs Muttleysnoop]

Great to see so many lovely cars there. We enjoyed it even though the Sports Racer pulled a sickie just as we were leaving home so had to come in my Megane.

Thanks to Greg (X Bow) Demo....13, Adrian (Exige) and Tanker...24 for our run home. I really enjoyed it.

Was visiting Dad in Woodbridge so took my boys out for a run at Aldeburgh beach about 3.30 pm. Saw the 3 Vets in the beach carpark and the Lambo Spyder.

But it was fekin' freezin' jeez! and that wind. Bit of a shock after getting sunburnt at an all day drinking session in a pub garden on the Saturday.

Anyhow it's the closest I've gotten to seeing a fellow PHer in the flesh so to speak.

When you were in Woodbridge Saturday you might have seen some PHers !!!!!

i spoke to the driver and he said he was from near london and that he paid £30000 after hard bargaining. he also said he was thinking of selling and was hoping to get £25000 for it.

The Boys done good....again - Thanks guys for a great run out with some good roads to stretch the old gals legs a little. Thanks to Purrfect for a great afternoon - even though you did convince me to chauffeur you into the town centre coz you couldn't be bothered to walk;). Sorry we missed everyone - found a cool cafe to put the world to rights for three hours!... and when we got back everyone had gone - and it was bloody cold!!

Is my grammar correct???;);)
