*** Essex Breakfast Saturday 12th April *****
Discussion
It's what I do for charity several times a year with the Sporting Bears. Generally the old Bill do not have a problem, because we do not break the law. Stay inside the legal speed limit etc, so, the ride is conducted on open roads, a dual carriageway or even the motorway, where the speed limit is 60 mph minimum.

Well...where we are located for this venue, there is NO 60 mph anywhere,its a built up area with street lighting,and Children....you have been advised !!Edited by Rob348 on Friday 11th April 21:30
See you guys in the morning - young Lewis is excited about attending his first car meet.
I have been instructed to get there early so that we can see/record all of the cars arriving.
He had the full tour of Lancaster Ferrari/Maserati/Bentley today and even got to park his scouse ass in the 458 Speciale that was on site!!!
He did get into the drivers seat but Uncle Carl was a bit dozy with the camera.

Another nice meet today, not so many cars prob'due to Easter,but good brekkie,lovely mix of cars again and a nice bunch to chat with.
Slider, Ben loved the car and has decided that's what he's having when he's 17!
Karl, hope you eventually gave your nephew some food,otherwise you'll have a Child Welfare officer on your back!
When did it become 40mph all the way from the Bicknacre roundabout??? Must have been in the last couple of weeks?

Looks like the little fella had a blast Carl, you are definitely the Favourite Uncle now! Sorry I couldn't make it, hopefully be around for the next one.
Careful with what you sit him in though mate, he might start thinking that Ferraris are aspirational!

Not as good as the ol Tractors though So I'm going to be the bigger man and ignore the Tractor comment.
I've had a few beers now, any chance you could pop round tonight and help me spray my tractor red?
Lewis is now back in Liverpool - left Colchester at 0600, arrived just before 1000.
Had Sunday Roast, put his car footage onto a DVD and left just in time to listen to the match on the way back.
A1 was swarming with TVR's, must have been a huge gathering somewhere.
Back in Colchester, about to sit in a bath with a can of Budweiser.
