Just thought I'd stop by and say hello wavey to everyone as I'm new to here and to forums in general as of this evening.

Drive a 350Z and living in a small village between Bishops Stortford and Ware in East Herts.

Hello.

Ah the Arsenal, well, my middle and youngest child support them, eldest supports NUFC, myself, I'm doomed to a life of carrying a cross as a life-long, ex-shareholding SAFC nut.

Mind you, could be worse, my wife supports Hartlepools....

Indeed it is Chris, and we may well have come across each other - I know taht road real well and tend to 'progress' if I get the chance and traffic allows. I drive (for the next week at least)an '06 350 Roadster in blue. I'll be driving a new 350 Coupe in Silver from next week though. Give me a wave next time!

The twisty road is falling apart however, thanks in main to those damn trucks ferrying muck to the new 9H golf course at Great Hadham. There are a number of craters appearing between the golf course and Stortford.

I've seen a few 'offs' on that road too - typically at either end of the straight that runs past the entrance to The Jobbers Wood High School sports grounds... last one was just before Christmas and was a late model Celica, on its side with a fella in a suit standing by it looking rather bemused.

Try the road running up to Albury and out into the Pelhams from the Little Hadham traffic lights on the A120 (i.e turn right at the lights where the road goes down to one lane/crosses the little bridge if you're travelling from Stortford direction. Good fast road, some challenging bends, not too bumpy, and there's the Catherine Wheel in Albury which is always worth stopping at for refreshments...

Indeed it is - it includes the (in)famous Wareside straight - which ends with a very tight 2nd gear s bend - and the state of the wall there indicates how many vehicles get it wrong.

There may also be, allegedly, an informal competition between Hadham residents to see how fast cars can get up to along there before safely negotiating that bend. I know of people which have seen 135 - it may or may not have been a Lambo Gallardo or so I am told eek

There's a few nice cars around here - just in the village here there are a large number of 911s, two of the new Maser Coupes, Gallardo, Murcielago, a handful of Ferraris, an RS6, AMGs, etc mostly driven by old folk very slowly... rolleyes

There are however a couple of nutters live in/around the village who drive like utter morons and who to my knowledge have been involved in a number of offs - one in an Orange Focus ST who seems to want to prove to EVERYONE that his car is indeed the fastest thing on the road - dangerous in the extreme. The other is a charver in a Saxo VTR who just can't drive to save his life!

I know that bend well, and yes, there are a coupe of BiB cars often parked up at various points along that Ware Road. BTW - extremely lovely TVR - that yours? Have a very soft spot for the S!

And hello to all Wellwyn dwellers!

Hello mate, well you may be a tad 'urban' for us 'sticks-dwellers', but I'm sure we can get along! wink
