I can't think of a band less likely to have come from Essex than The Wurzels; although the Dengie's a bit "rural".
Indeed, Tillingham is a bit "Special" in those parts!!!

Webbed feet and extra fingers are not uncommon. hehe

Earlier this evening I saw an old Jaguar on a flat bed on the Sutton Road in Maidstone, I think it was a Mk10 or 420.

The body was in various colours of primer and it looked stripped out.

Hopefully on its way somewhere to be brought back to former glory!

Yep, but I'll refrain from sharing which member.

Liam Howlett lives in Merks Hall, Church End, Dunmow, so I'm guessing it's him you're referring to?

He did but hasn't lived there for a few years. He upped-sticks for North London where he lives now. Good job really given you openly published what you thought was his address. I'm sure, the private chap he is, he'd really have appreciated that.

Red LaFerrari on the A229 heading towards Maidstone. Came past me pulling up to the lights, heading for Boughton Monchelsea maybe. Made my day!

Nope. There is a well known music industry accountant used by them all and other acts near Braintree so the driver of said car's identity shall remain a mystery I'm afraid.

I think you'll find that it's easily found on the Internet....as indeed is the fact that Keith owns the Leather Bottle in Pleshey and can be find there when not on tour....Google is your friend, my friend smile

And yes, Keith does live near North End. And I bet you 90% of you wouldn't recognise him if he walked past you in the street wink

My parents are in a neighbouring village and he used to cycle past their house in the 90's. I would always double-take if I spotted him.

Given what I do for a living I reckon I would actually. Never mind walking past in the street, it's usually in his house wink

I've no doubt you would. But equally you'll agree that out of his Prodigy 'character' he's unremarkable. But a heck of a nice, down to earth bloke who loves cars and bikes smile

Alfa 164 Cloverleaf on the A12 near Chelmsford earlier - great looking car & pretty rare now, black 430 going the same direction earlier in the day.

Couple of other rarities earlier in the day as well: a Citroen XM (haven't seen one of those for ages) & an MG RV8 on the A130. Far more common was the TVR Chim that I saw a little later in the day in Chelmsford turning onto New London Road.

That reminds me, I saw a Citroen XM Estate near Maidstone town centre on Saturday.
And a black Ferrari 458.

And last night a red Porsche 928 S4 (or possibly a GT) leaving The Tickled Trout in West Farleigh.
