Default How's your part of Essex looking

Well I managed to wash both cars polish the Mrs' and started to wet/dry and compound my dull front bumper, then gave up as I'm not sure water and electricity mix very well.
At Braintree it currently looks like Tornado scene and my drive is flooded. Time for a beer then

There's a lot of people in Thurrock now

Don't drive it much, but give 'us a wave if you see a black Hawkeye STi floating about Grays (it's not the RB320 that I've seen a few times).

Been horrible all day at home, now at work and it's still horrible in London although it's just stopped raining!

PS - welcome to the club guys

I have seen you a fair few times on the A13 but not recently so had thought you had either sold the car or bought a work horse.

I didn't realise so many members are from Thurrock, I live in Chadwell Mary now but was in Grays a few years back.

Still got it, just changed jobs and hence the times when I am on the A13. Not doing shift work anymore, joined the 9-5 rat race in the city, so on the A13 when at its busiest! Still in Stanford.

I work permanent nights in London but always driving a works van of the UK's 'favourite' telecoms company, London bound around 6:25pm and homeward around 6am on the A13.

When I'm off, I'm usually in an old W-reg dark blue Focus with LAP on the number plate, or very rarely in the Scoob.

Good to see you still around Maz

Welcome along mate. Hope you find one soon. It will be the best thing you do. Check the for sale section mate. I do know there is a classic for sale in tiptree for £1800.
My mate told me about it.

I'm looking at entry level ideally in sti form. Anything goes really, a basis for a project up to 3k for something a bit tidier.
