Final joining instructions for the Culford Classic show this Sunday 14th July are here: https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/events/event/378-culford-classic-car-show/ A spare place is unexpectedly available, do let us know if you wish to join us.

If you're kicking around on Sunday and want to meet some of the gang, we are at the Culford Classic Car Show: https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/events/event/378-culford-classic-car-show/ We have a Club stand next to Crazy Horse, Caterham Agent for East Anglia. Lot's of interesting cars and bikes, in addition to Sevens. Suggested way points from Wymondham: East Harling, Garboldisham, Knettishall Heath, Euston, Honington, Great Livermere, Culford.

A couple of weeks ago we had this blat: https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/events/event/422-carrotland-blat-and-visit-to-the-ipswich-transport-museum/ There is a downloadable satnav file on that page. The first section from Goodies Food Hall to Thorpeness is fab. Thorpeness is an interesting holiday village built early 20th Century, our very own version of Portmerion. No amusements and lots of interesting buildings. Nice beach too. Goodies food hall serves a fantastic breakfast. The Large Farmer's one is recommended if you're hungry! https://www.goodiesfoodhall.co.uk

Hi Ben, you'll be welcome in Carrotland. Have a good time on our patch. Roads to avoid: A11 A47 A140 Anything around Norwich Other than that, most roads that are off-piste can be enjoyable. First thoughts are: B1108 Bawburgh to Watton A1075 Watton to Thetford B1113 Mulbarton to New Buckenham B1332 Poringland to Bungay The white road from Wymondham to join the B1113 at Wreningham. You'll pass the Lotus factory, we think Colin Chapman must have designed this road as a test track! Unfortunately a 50 mph limit now but still enjoyable. Try the Bird In Hand at Wreningham for lunch, a Lotus themed pub. Visit Classic Team Lotus if you get time. I'll try to think of specific routes and add a link. Have fun. Steve

Half Hood now sold.

Giving this one a bounce to the top.

Hi ol6bill, I've sent a message with the owners contact details. All the best Steve

Alan, apologies I've just seen your post and had already responded to an email from another member. I'll send you a message with contact details.

Picture of the diff is here, it has done just a few miles and was purchased new over the counter from a ford dealer.:

Benp1 you have mail regarding the half hood.

The car was sold through Sevens and Classics - I'm not sure why they removed it from their website, but it's definitely gone to a lucky new owner.

Hi Folks Suffolk Council have decided to resurface one of the proposed roads. There are too many chippings for a Seven, so tomorrow's route has been changed slightly. Updated documents are here: https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/events/event/422-carrotland-blat-and-visit-to-the-ipswich-transport-museum/ Steve
