Sat at a traffic lights on Old Shoreham Road in our '68 blood orange 912, and what should pull up behind us but an absolutely beautiful burgundy '70 911S - looked fantastic and sounded great as it stormed past 8-) :-) nice car.

I'm 99% sure it said 911S. Could be wrong though (won't be the first time) :-)

Ive seen this twice before parked at Marina in Brighton.

It is an S. Never seen owner though.

There could be a Hove DDK meet soon or at least E & W Sussex

Yeah, that was me. Wish it was an S, it's an E I'm afraid. Parents live in the Marina so probably me too.

Also got a Notch and live in Hove, so we really do have something in common Vic...

Hove / Brighton DDK meet sounds good to me :)

Could one of you local guys please remind me of the name of that very strange big, brown, seashell (?) looking cafe which I think is on Shoreham sea front :?:

Cheers :)

Sorry Paul, only the monophonic cousin left here now :lol: But it IS a very early one - might be a modular or two around but they're too big to fit in the back of a 911 :shock:

The cafe is in littlehampton (east beach cafe) - actually the sister cafe (west beach cafe - funnily enough) , although not as visually striking , always get our vote - right on beach away from crowds - nice little car park (20 cars) & great hake & chips

are either too far for a brighton & hove meet ?

Afraid I have succumbed to soft synths - its middle age I guess

East Beach Cafe, Littlehampton - that's the one. Thanks Paul. I've friends in Yapton which is just up the road, I believe.

Looks like it's situated in the Caribbean here doesn't it? :wink: :)

My preference would be a bit more local to Hove! Devils Dyke is a superb viewpoint with a pub and car park. (Dogging optional in pay and display), or there is Madeira Drive where they hold the speed trials - you can fill up with shandy and fish and chips down there but dont drive too far down or you might get hailed into a bush by a rent buoy. Carats cafe near the power station is another possibility? Or the Badgers pub on the cliffs at Rottingdean could be really good - pub, car park, view.
