I never caught the driver. He was quite close to the vehicle in front of him and I didn't have my glasses on :roll:

Have to keep more of an eye out next time.

Aren't the resurfacing the A120 this week for a while? 8pm-5am its shut I believe.

Not sure, to be honest, hav`nt noticed any signs, but then again I`m on auto pilot on that road :roll: I`m suprised I ever notice any transits!
Keep an eye out for a white mk6 with fogs and tourneo alloys (not my old yellow one) next time you`re on the a120 I`m working in Braintree for a couple of weeks. 8)

Plastering a new hotel. If you go past the roundabout with M`cDs and Kentucky etc, as if you were headed for Stanstead, then its at the edge of the a120 at the next turn off. You can see the site clearly from the road.
Plastering is nearly finished, couple of weeks tops I`d say, then I`m off to a job in Wollpit, so I guess I`ll be spotting Suffolk transits then :D

Oh, the Panners roundabout. The one you come off for the Notley garden Village and Springwood industrial estate. I rode past there on Saturday to go to Dunmow.
