    Don't know whereabouts you are but in North Norfolk there is Gold Park at Mundesley on a weds morn and Overstrand on a Thursday morning - also Arminghall at Norwich is on a weds morning as well as Sunday lunchtime. The Arminghall car boot sale is the best one. Look up 'Sales' on the EDP site - they will show you all car boots all over Norfolk (and Suffolk too I think).

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Got a lovely new Radley bag for £5 got talking to seller, she was a handbag shopaholic who bought a fair few handbags to sell. I dont really know my designers, just went for the look of the bag.
    Apparently she bought all her bags from a big dept store, mine cost nearly £80 new ( till reciept inside) others cost around that or more one was £180 she sold for £20, she admitted to me quietly that she was ashamed that she'd spent so much and had stacks more at home but just couldnt stop buying them.

    You meet all sorts at car bootys, I'm glad I met her today.
