Loving your drives through the Suffolk countryside. I live in Clare so know the roads pretty well.We are very lucky to live in such a great part of the country.Keep up the good work.👍

A Vitesse convertible and a lovely doggie - what's not to love?! Happy New Year and a great 2025 to you, Sean and all of your loved ones.

You were mentioning the 30 mph through little towns... I used to live in an old converted commercial building In Homedale, Idaho. The speed limit was twenty five mph. But, when the bars closed at 2 a.m., all those drunk country boys would put their foot on the floor at the stop sign downtown and those Cummins engined Dodges would fly by my house at some crazy speeds. I was always waiting for one to enter my lounge... I guess the coppers went home early. ;-)

Just had another look at this video Sean (armchair surrogate driving on this weekend of dreadful weather!). I’ve only just seen in the side view at around 9.30 in addition to the glimpse of Heveningham Hall, there’s a good view of a helicopter leaving. I think the owner is a private pilot but I could be wrong.

The roads have been too salty and/or wet to get the Herald out for over a fortnight Sean, so I’m spending part of Sunday afternoon enjoying some of your videos; at least I can have a vicarious experience! Lovely coast and country scenes, thank you ☺️

Brooks Stevens did the heavy lifting on the redesign for the '64 Studebakers and managed to completely change the look of the car for about 5 dollars ( I don't remember the figure but it wasn't much.

I was quite shocked to see a 64 Studebaker Daytona! I restored a four-door version of that car for my partner about 15 years ago. It was an interesting car. One of Studebaker 's last before fleeing to Canada for their last 2 years. LOL I've had a lot of Studebakers in the last 45 years. But the 64 Daytona, the 53 Commander starliner, and the 63 Avanti are my favorite designs from that corporation. And fortunately I've owned them all! I still have the Avanti. It's very driver quality. Haha

I love driving videos and show videos in equal measure. Wonderful to see all these cars we don't see over here. I love the The C2 Corvette also. It is my favorite design.From the stingray rear, to the pie plate gauges, to the high ratio muncie lugging away from a stop with that blub blub blub. But, make mine a split window coupe... 🙂

Glad to see you're back. Maybe I will be inspired to get some video rolling again. I'm in the middle of installing a new wiring loom in the MGB GT, then I'll have time to get my head into some filming. I'm sorry to hear about Bess, but relieved that you were going slowly and it was no worse.

Hello Sean. Thanks very much for the video - I don't know this part of Suffolk at all. I'm glad to learn that your 'day job' has expanded - all for the very best, I hope. On the other hand, I was sorry to hear about the problems you have had with Bess - being a former Mk 2 owner, I particularly feel for you! All the best for now, Colin.

Great to see you back with a new video, many thanks for finding the time and making the effort.

It was a glorious morning unfortunately I couldn't get out due to a back injury but a surrogate drive was appreciated.

I had no idea there was an aviation museum at Flixton, I would certainly have visited, if I had known

Hello Sean, good to see you out-n-about in your lovely Vitesse. I like your opening film work, very nice. A great trip which would be nice to do if I were around the area, Hopefully we will be able to arrange a get together in 2025 for a Triumph chat and coffee. All the best Bob. (The Stag still work very well and was also out today at Bicester Heritage for a Flea Market event)

Hi Sean, I remember Bungay very well, from my visits up there to see our friend, Mr.David A. who used? to live there. I recall coming across a whole flock of Chickens on the main road there. All very rural and bucolic!

Welcome back Sean! Hopefully you’ll get Bess back on the road soon. (Note to self:check springs!) I used to be in Bungay regularly, agree with you it’s well worth a visit. As is the Aviation Museum; on one visit there I had a long chat to my hero Wing Commander Ken Wallis of Autogyro fame. The museum is next to the Buck Inn which in the early 70s was run by Alan Breeze who was Billy Cotton’s sidekick for over 30 years. (Showing my age now,”Billy Who???”)

The colour looks like triumph valentine blu often seen on 1360 heralds and triumph 1300 fwds

Hello, Sean. It seems like a fairly long time since we corresponded. It seems like you and your friends had a most enjoyable run, weather notwithstanding. Take care and stay well, C.

She is beautiful. Brings back memories of my Mk 2 Spitfire '66 . I still love that car even though I had to get rid of it in '80. I would love to find and old girl like her but... You know how your friend had problems, same here. Getting one would just be the start, let alone restoring it! Anyway thanks for the drive and the memories it evoked, so much so that i've sub'd to you, see you later....PS.glad to see you had or maybe she came with, the bonnet locks, that definitely reminded me of my Spit, she had the same. Something of a security addition, much to my peace of mind!

Hi Sean, another interesting video and some very nice driving roads. Have a good week. Bob

What an interesting video. I live in Boxted just a mile or so from Hartest. Such a beautiful part of the country.

Apologies everyone. The Audi coupe is apparently the real deal... Fire up the QUATTRO!

It’s a ‘full blooded quattro’ with a 2.2l turbo charged 20 valve 5 cylinder engine (RR designation) putting out 220 bhp in standard form

❤

Hello Sean, thank you for another interesting and pleasurable day out! Perhaps, sometime, you can take us to some of the mediaeval places of interest in Aldeburgh and Snape. Best wishes, C.

A sunny Sunday morning driving an open top car through a quintessentialy English village with church bells ringing. What more could one want! Couldn't get to Thorpeness this year but good to see the cars.

**THORPY AND THE THORPETTES!!**

The warning on the back window of the Wolsely that "this car uses trafficators" made me chuckle a little. I doubt if most modern drivers would even know what a trafficator is. Let alone be looking for a strange orange pointer thingy popping out from the 'B' pillar.😂 It's still a considerate gesture evenso. Maybe the owner is hedging a little self-preservation, too. Great video. I very much enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.

Great video, very nice put together. The show looked good. Hope to catch up with at some point, still knee deep in un-packing boxes and tip runs, The Stag is being used more now we moved and makes me happy and de-stressed after a nice run around the lane here in Oxfordshire, you would like some of these drive, so try and make it to the last Bicester Scramble of 2024 on the 8th of October. Hope to see you then. All the best Bob

I wish they'd bring back overdrive on third and fourth

I really will have to try to get there next year Sean! I’d have trouble deciding whether to drive off in the Packard or the Tiger (I should be so lucky…) Wonderful video as always, thanks ☺️ As for Tess, fingers crossed she’s cured. Did you replace the condenser in the end? I found mine played up erratically when the engine got hot.

That Vanguard thou' such presence, so solid, tough as old boots, remind me somewhat of a battleship, especially in grey, I do like the Beetleback version.

The Red Packard HPB117 was first registered September 1938

The 4 door white Rover BPW495 was first registered in 1937

A lot of those just post war cars, didn't have Chromed trim, it was often painted silver because of post war austerity, indeed, even getting a new car in those early post war years was nigh on impossible, unless you were a certain profession, such as a Doctor etc

Driving down those country lanes, if the car in front gets past the oncoming traffic, then you KNOW you will fit, because all the moderns are wider than the Vitesse!

Lotus 7s AND mini mokes!

I miss the Church Bells, I miss England.

Lovely drive of an iconic car

Hello Sean. I've finally got to this video (my To View list just keeps getting longer and longer!). I read Group Captain Cheshire's autobiography some time in my teens (clearly, a very long time ago) - it's certainly high time I read it again. Cheshire Homes are operational here in SA; my mother was something of a supporter (along with every animal charity there is!). I find it very inspiring that you have been sufficiently inspired by Cheshire to change the course of your own life. My hat's off to you. It's a pity I wasn't able to join you and your subscribers for the drive; I hope that a very good time was had by all. Very best wishes, Colin.

That sounds awesome

Anyone see my Dads bus

Excellent video, thanks, Sean. The next best thing to actually being there (as long as I could still have your commentary, of course!) As regards that other matter, it seems that my family historian and his sources have all disappeared - so no further information concerning the service career of my grandmother, I'm afraid. Best wishes, Colin.

Couldn't make it this year so thanks for the vid.
