OK, there's a lot of poetic licence used in the title of this posting! There was no hooliganism in East Sussex but the sight and sound of three 131s disturbing the peace and quiet of the East Sussex UK countryside brought back memories of driving around Ireland during the 3MA.
Today (Sunday 2nd September, 2007) three boys (more poetic licence for at least one oldie here):
and their toys (131s
):
met up and went for a drive around East Sussex.
The meeting was organised by Andy and Anita so while Anita was at home cooking for us we spent a few hours following a wonderful route that Andy (photo below) put together so we could really enjoy our 131s.
Simon (photo below) and I were the only two that took up Andy's and Anita's invitation (where were the rest of you?)
We met at Forest Row where as usual I was the last one to get there but I WAS on time for our 10:00am start.
So the three 131s left Forest Row in convoy with Andy (obviously) in the lead car.
Pretty East Sussex countryside whizzes past very quickly when driving a 131
Stopped for coffee (and tea) at a lovely place in the Ashdown Forest
And then continued on our drive.
Hey, I am being followed by an Abarth Stradale!
Quick pit stop (some more poetic licence! It was a necessary 'comfort' stop after all the tea and coffee
)
before getting to Beachy Head
Apparently Beachy Head is the most popular place for suicides in the UK!
Here's the edge of the cliff and it's a long way down although the photo doesn't do the drop justice.
Our hosts for the day Anita and Andy (with Simon on the right)
I am sure Simon will join me in saying a HUGE thank you to Anita and Andy for providing both great driving pleasure and extremely yummy food. Thank you very much Anita and Andy.
