Hi buddy welcome to the forum. Any Fronty will be fun. Get yourself over to Thetford forest and find some mud and water, will put a big smile on your face. Where abouts in Suffolk are you?.

Things to look out for in Lowestoft are Fudge and Foggy, not the sweets and the weather but another two Foggers.

That seem's to be about the going price these days as they suddenly went mad in the cold snap and the prices didn't seem to fall back so quick. If you look on Auto Trader and E-Bay you will see what there advertised for elsewhere, then you make up your own mind.
