Interesting that you head up to Norfolk for your car. Xjay. That is a long way for a hobby.
But people come from all over to view birds, which I find odd as well..

Back to 50mph. The Norfolk Constabulary used to post details of RTAs sometime after the event.
(Not details of fatalities, or pictures of the accident.)

Just a photo of the road and what had happened, mostly simple misjudgements at junctions.
I wasn't being a voyeur and came across it by accident!..

I thought it was quite a sensible way to warn motorists of how silly mistakes end up as trouble.
It is gone now. ce

Yup, nothing quite like picking up chicks with webbed feet.

(I went to get my highline dash cluster fitted (I could do myself) and coded to the car to get my mileage transferred across and the code the immobiliser so it didn't stop me from starting the car (I couldn't do myself i don't have the software sorry mystery over)

YES I WENT DOGGING. I didn't, I found Norwich to be quite dull actually. The drive there was dull, there wasn't anything interesting really.

Norwich has a few nice corners like Newbury.
But on a Saturday night there is booze fuelled mayhem.
No longer a nice city.


I have a V8 Corrado SORN ed up there. Lreg.

Unfortuantely too many cities are ruined by boozing.
Alcohol...taxed and legalised, people who are on it generally cause trouble.
Weed, illegal and arrestable offense, is less harmful, people who are on it get really sleeping and call everyone "dude"... see how the tax problems could be solved?

Do you really have that Corrado? That would be pretty awesome smile.gif

Yup.It is under a blanket . Sons car sadly though. Magenta ish, It is a good looking car.
Needs engine work, but some are restored jewels. It is the full V8. It beats the pants off mine at lights.
The blanket is because of nesting birds!

Blackbirds, Wrens. Swallows. And a barn owl eats there and burps up strange bits.
Multy occupation even for Meusli chompers. They all make a mess at some stage.
Everything is covered with old blankets. The roving cats like that too.

I do feel that some roads are dangerous and some sort of speed control is wise.
So my diversion to birdwatching (except Wrens in uniform is over.)
Come on ce act your age !.

I don't get the whole Museli chomping brigade. It's horrible and you might as well eat cardboard. sad.gif
Birdwatching at the beach on a sunny day is a lot of fun if you get my meaning. PSI tuning are good at engine rebuilding and what not, they are recommended for that sort of thing from various owners forums.

Unfortunately they are neither inbred or based in Norwich so might have pulled the short feather there i'm afraid.

Oh dear, just been turned down, what a shame. Still the treehuggers will have to put up with the occasional motorists passing through their little corner of middle England. Lock up your Badgers !!

Does that require ladies to wear chastity belts?

No, just the ability to whine about "our village" in a high pitched nasal voice !

I think you may need to lock up your beaver instead. Beavers are far more deadly. Luckily though, I carry a Bill Oddie small plush toy around with me, and he can spot yours from a mile away.

This would have not been caused by speed I'll wager, rather carelessness or falling asleep!

So if professional drivers like these pair of lorry drivers get caught out, is there a chance that the perfect driving skills of those self proclaimed better than average drivers on the forum could also be tested by this stretch of road?

Does your voice muffle when you sit down?

Who knows the cause of this crash yet?

This is a serious issue and not something for pre-school debate.

...and I don't see a mention of the cause do you?
