A great run today from Haverhill, Suffolk to Mersea Island in the Z4! My lovely wife working the camera.

Fair play for being out at 8am this morning. I bet the roads were lovely and quiet.
...but , what's the roof doing up ??? :cry:

My wife is recovering from flu, which she blames on last weekends run with the top down :P
We had a great breakfast at the Art Cafe; talented chef and a cool local stop off :)

I had dropped scones (not taking the piss!) and bacon, while the wife had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs! Excellent food, great service and a fair price; £20 with juice and coffee.

I'm 6' 3" and the biggest problem is slidding my size 11 feet into the car with the door half open (car parks!)
