The end of an Era?

As some of you already know, my trusty, but rather dusty, old Sierra finally bit the dust last week in an incident near the Rayleigh Wier on the A127. Fortunately, no other parties were involved and there were no injuries too, other than to pride coupled with a little whiplash.

In case you are wondering what actually happened, it transpired that due to the "flash" storm 10 minutes earlier that day, the car aqua-planed whilst negotiating a bend and early indications suggest this was triggered by clipping a piece of hard-core concrete (ball-sized, approx. 10" diameter) present on the carriageway.

If anyone has any suggestions for this piece of modern art, please send them to the and the best will get a mention on these pages !
