    Hi Coolcat, some really stunning pics there, i just wish my wife Karen would be as keen to get up and set sail that early.

    After we got back to Acle we then popped over to Dunes Cafe for Breakfast and then it was off to work for me.

    Got home, had a few hours rest/editing then it was off out to a gig in Colchester that my brothers band were the support act for. The Stereo MC's if anyone remembers them:default_biggrin:

    Long day but was great fun.......Roll on the Spring gathering this weekend.

    Are you a Spurs fan CC? Always best I find out before saying something about them :default_biggrin:

    I'm confident my boys will bring home number 6 whoever we play, but personally I would prefer to play Ajax, purely because we play the English sides enough already :default_smile:

    Nope.......Liverpool.

    But.............All my family come from Tottenham and are very much Spurs through and through.

    Being a child of the seventies I of course decided to back the winners and thus become the black sheep of the family.

    It could have been worse I guess, I could have become a Gooner:default_biggrin:

    And this from another 'smart man.'  (Thank you, Paul) .  It took me many months to find my modern classic, a Rover 75 Connoisseur SE.  I had a wish list of extras and went to see some absolute shockers. 

    I bought my Connie from a man in a private car park in Willesden!  I know.  That's not how you're supposed to buy second-hand cars, but at £1,750 for a car with genuine 60,000 miles on the clock, the BMW bomb-proof diesel engine and gearbox, more bells and whistles than you can shake a fist at, what was there to loose?  It had to be the twin headlight version and, ideally, 2002.  The only missing extra was cruise control.  I'd had a very clever cruise control on my Honda Prelude and would have liked the same on the Connie, but it wasn't to be.

    In three years I have put another 40,000 miles on the old lady.  I absolutely adore the comfort, the multi-position leather seats, the quiet and the ease of driving her.  I have just fitted four new tyres to the old girl to quieten the already quiet road noise.  All I can hear now is the air-leaking door seal to my right shoulder! 

    In 17 years' use, she had her first MOT advisory last month.  What is there not to like?  That said, I am easily pleased.  My sole transport for fifty years prior to my first car bought at the age of fifty, was always short of a couple of wheels - an all-weather biker and proud to be.  If the 75 sees me out, I'll be tickled pink.

    If you're not already, might be worth joining the 75andZT owners club forum "https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/index.php"

    I'm an ex MG  ZT-T owner and still very much a member of the forum. I'm Coolcat on there as well:14_relaxed:

    There was still spaces at Womack even arriving late.   Thank you for the video ,  thank you also for the really soothing piano playing.     Well chosen.

    If it wasn't for the fact I had guests on board and we were having dinner back in Acle....... I would have taken one of those spaces myself for the night:default_smile:

    Sorry i took them down as they are truly terrible, that wind noise on the mic and I really should pay attention to what I am doing instead of looking around everywhere :default_biggrin:

    Back up now, mind your ears :default_rofl:

    Yey...........I have got my coffee and now going to sit down and have a watch :default_biggrin:

    Here's one of mine to add to the mix of Breydon water passages.

    I can't believe that anyone is scared of crossing North/South, but in my own rough unedited way....(I am no London Rascal) here is a demo of a North to South crossing as I pay no attention to what I am doing with my phone in my ever increasingly numb hand.

    There is wind, whistling and even some "singing" whilst I successfully drop my phone and forget all about trying to video what I am doing.

    Oh, and I may have had a drop of wine.....

     

    one day I will do a professional video :default_rofl:

    Edit....

    I haven't checked these video's so if there is something in there that shouldn't be, please do me a favour and let me know :default_biggrin:

     

    Videos not showing for me either Jay,

    Have you made sure they have been made public ?:default_smile:

    Great photos and videos. I liked the choice of music. Takes me forever to find what I want for mine!

    Thanks Jean,

    I fell foul (copyright) of using my own library music on a Youtube video before so now just use the Youtube library.
