There and Back

Not being a `petrolhead` normally, for some reason I was attracted to the Hot Car show at Trinity Park in Ipswich. It was quite an eye opener to see the fantastic machines that were on show and below are a few of them. Unfortunately I didn't gather much technical info, but they were just good to see and photograph. Huge exhausts and exposed engines, are part of the kit. .... as are large tyres. Another one of the things usually associated with these hot cars is the amazing paintwork. Definitely  part of the `scene`. A dull day, weather wise, but great to see and admire. Home

The Old Bathing Place was opened on the river in 1898 and was in use until the late 1930s when it was closed after an outbreak of diphtheria in the town.

Once they could swim they could go out further - there are also steps on the opposite bank. Wild Plums - ripe
