	North Norfolk is one of my favourite areas for spots. Anything can turn up there often being used as daily drivers. We camped there for the first time a couple of years ago and on the site there were several retro campers, the usual VW's plus a Commer, couple of CF's, J4 and a sixties Peugeot on Dutch plates, plus two 105e's and a Hillman Hunter. Here's a few random shots - Vietnam era landing craft anyone? Not sure what type of bus this was but the landowner said it had been used as a holiday home since the thirties. Solid rubber tyres and there had been an engine at the other end. He should rod it

	:)Some cool cars in Norfolk. I'd like to move there when I retire. Everyone seems more laid back. ;)I hope it's cheaper to stay in that caravan than Butlins! ;D

	Nice part of the world......I know V8devon does the Boxing Day run from Thetford up to Wells-next-the-Sea every year in his 100E. I'm loving that 'holiday home' :-)

	This is cool There used to be Two WW2 landing craft used as sight-seeing boats chug around seal island at Hunstanton, they've both been retired now, think they've earned it

	autofive said: are you sure that is a bus? looks like a railway carriage conversion Could have been originally I guess, but at the other end you can see where various fixtures and fittings were attached. There's a bit of a roof overhang there with the the bits & pieces to operate the destination blind still in situ, sidelights were obviously fixed there at some point and the floor has been chopped off level with the main body. Sure it's not the original chassis though. It looked like the driver sat out in the elements. I've got a pic of it but it's on slide which my scanner can't handle
