Essex lanes

1. Brian S and family
2. Geoff
3. Jimmytd5
4. Jon
5. Daniel (and possibly Elaine, start time depending)
6. Nicholas (+ a few mates).
7. Seb
8. paulesc

Added Paul as his name got missed.

So whats the plan?
Any ideas on where to go. I'm tempted by Violets lane as the bus has never been before and with all this rain it could be rather wet .
But I am a little concerned. The horrible bearing nosies from Wales have gone, and that was after a few dunkings in clean, fresh water. not dirty muddy water.

Brand new starter motor in mine (fitted by myself lol) - seemed to have solved my intemitant failure to start problem ... If I come out on the 30th it won't be for long (cos I'll have the children with me) - Drizz the heater in my truck isn't brilliant, but why do you want to get warm when after every lane we do, we all stop, get out, talk about it for an hour, then we're off driving again...if you stay cold tis less of a shock to the system - or wear a coat!

Had someone moan at me today cos there was a giant cloud of black smoke behind me after I started Frank! I said to them "it's a landrover, I wouldn't expect anything less & WHY HAVE YOU STOPPED SO CLOSE BEHIND ME? now **** off and leave me alone"

:0)
Mines broke needs a front caliper, should have tomorrow to play with

looks like you may have a bit of fun in the water agian guys, loads of rain.... may try to find some myself this wekend

I just see Brian's Facebook post about finchingfield ford, looks deep, rooftop deep! Think we need to be hitting these fords soon...

Bloody boo. Hate fords. Should have been the Essex water monkeys ;0)

Would have happily brought that roof rack, or part ex'd my 3/4 length one.
Hope you get a good price. Best time of year so fingers crossed.

I was planning on a water pump and matrix soon, but ill bleed it up again in various ways to attempt to get it clear!
And Guy, yes i know but that annoys me when laning! Do the bloody lanes and stop and yap at lunchtime LOL

Well the fords are pretty deep around Braintree, here's the first tit I saw whilst out
down bullford lane near black notley

Yeah I posted a pic on my fb of a sierra floating in White Notley this afternoon!

I went through there about 11 this morning and was upto the walkway already

I think it's the same car looking at your pic u was at the other side

It is the same car, just blocking the way now.

Yeah I had to reverse and turn round

Nope, it was definitely a sierra as I was talking to them! So this is a second car

It seems that there is at least one car sunk everytime it floods
