Gonna be a nice day sunday hope to see you all. Has any one from the chelmsford area drove the Dunmow to Saffron waldon road going through Thaxted once into Saffron waldon turn right heading towards Haverhill them turn right towards Finchingfield for coffee then head back towards Dunmow. I then head towards Braintree and turn off towards White Nottley for some optimax. If you try this route which has some good overtaking stretches long straights and 70 plus bends
i suggest you try his before 9am on a Sunday. The only caution is take heed of the 30 and 40 lmits in the villages They want to keep there thatched roofs The green lights (de-restriction signes) between villages run for miles. This will be my warm up for the White Hart pit stop with a smile as big as Jlo's rear.

Last Sunday i drove this route with a skyline in tow, Whoever you are Great sensible fun. Its what makes it all worth while. Sunny but cool, Skyline up your rear, The roar of that enine, Driving fast,

Is this classed as Extreme Sport......

See you all Sunday (maybe earlier)

Mark.....

Think actually all the cars should be lined up in the same order as the colours of the rainbow.
