Evening all,

Hope everyone is keeping safe and well. I fully appreciate we are still in very uncertain times amidst this bloody COVID pandemic.

But just putting some feelers out there to gauge possible interest in a very informal meet, chat or cruise for anyone who may be local or not to Norfolk.

Depending on interest, i may have access to a private car park in between Cromer and Sheringham.

Thinking a socially distanced meet then cruise along the coastal road in direction of fancy.

Welcome thoughts comments etc....

Freddie

Fantastic idea and something that I was thinking of doing in the West Midlands area, but put it off due to the current Covid situation.

Bit far for me unfortunately, otherwise I'd join as it would be a good day out in light of recent times.

Thanks Armaan, appreciate the comment. That is a fair old distance.

Just gauging people thoughts, like you say something fun in all this craziness.

Well count me in. Great idea, don't see anything wrong with that as long as we can all stay out doors and be sensible about this Covid stuff.

I'm always end up somewhere along the coast most weekends so let's know.

We don't have a demo car right now but you're welcome to drop in here anytime Mon-Sat if it's en route. Chris might be persuaded to open up on a Sunday if he's not busy doing something else as he lives practically next door.

Hi Lorcan,

That is really appreciated 🙏.

I must admit heading westwards along coast would be my preference.

Plus your coffee is pretty good and the cars in the showroom ain't bad either. 😜

Could work well.

I can do a Saturdays usually in Holt then, Freddie335 pick a date I can fit in with most. Let's start a list?

Guess the route / meeting point would depend on who is coming and from where, so if those coming can add their location it would help.

I'm in Swaffham but any start / meet point is fine for me.
