SKCC - Southern Kit Car Club. A Club for kit car owners across Southern England. Kent, Sussex, East Hants, Surrey, Berks, Middlesex, London

Well it's early days up here in wet n windy suffolk - but have put feelers out to get involved in a few car related activities; With the idea of meeting new folks.

Seems that the pace of life is somewhat different to 'Darn Sarf'.
A guy set up a new 'club' on FB for car drives in Suffolk - err, its called 'Cars n Coffee'.

Their first drive was this past Sunday, and I couldn't attend but;
Started at 9am, did 1.5hrs and ended up at a coffee place.
Was due to be follow the leader but at the last minute they issued some form of google map.
I may have to suggest something more substantial than a coffee

Joined an mx5 fb group that covers the area a little north of here...
'oh no, we generally just follow the car in front'
'keep a look out, there should be some more runs posted next Spring'

wonder if they can be persuaded to adopt ITN's and radios

If Mango still has his car you could have nucleus of a new club up norf. At least he knows how it all works

Most of the country would still consider Suffolk as 'south'

Personally, a 9am start and coffee is my ideal run as well... I still can't do these 6am starts...

well aside from the fact that the s/east is choked with traffic by 9 ( kent/surrey/sussex), i'd agree that 9am is more civilized; Then again, by the time one gets home its chewed into the day - add in footie/motorsport/whatever else and that's a full day.

Good to hear you are settling in. Following the car in front makes for a stressful run. My first SKCC run from Bodiam to Eastbourne was like that and was utter chaos Fortunately I knew the roads and caught up by using a quicker route twice!

Yes, very true... I watched a video which basically said that whether you're a morning person or an evening (late riser) person is all decided by genes and almost impossible to change, so I'm screwed...
