A Road Trip in an MX-5, and Athlete at the UEA, Lavenham and Norwich - 14th October 2007

Nosher finally gives in to an itch that's been around for a while, not least since spending a few months in California with a couple of Chrysler Sebrings, V-8 Mustangs and a Miata, and gets a cute little Mazda MX-5. For its first weekend, we take a spin out from Cambridge through the picturesque town of Lavenham in Suffolk. Most of the next day is spent cleaning, t-cutting and waxing it, but we get a bit of a drive around Suffolk in the gorgeous summer-like autumn afternoon. After that, Nosher, Isobel and The Boy Phil are off to the University of East Anglia to see the band Athlete perform in the LCR.
