Some photos of the roads we will be driving

Please feel free to join us on the first day run of 2008. Simlar format to last year, mixed cars, nice country drive out, which you can join or leave at any point as long as you inform me so I dont think you are lost etc. Stopping for for pub lunch. We are all very friend dont bite and welcome any like minded people to join us no matter what car you drive.

Click Gallery to see pictures from last years meets.

Click here to view photoshow of last year.

The subject of safety... I will remind those attending that we do not condone/endorse racing and we fully expect attendees to be law-abiding and to drive responsibly. If you want to drive like an idiot and rag the nuts off your car then please take it elsewhere and leave the rest of us to enjoy the event!

Depending on the event it is quite possible we'll be attracting a lot of attention so please respect other road users and avoid excessive noise/speed in public and built-up areas. Also worth bearing in mind is the fact that there will potentially be lots of bikers, cyclists and horse-riders out sharing and enjoying the roads with us. You know the drill... be extra vigilant and keep checking your mirrors. Please keep it sensible.

Great come and join us it would be lovely to meet up with some of you guys and girls on here.. My daughter does lots of meets/runs out for people that enjoy driving.

Well we are getting some interest, if you are not too sure about us we will be at Castle Combe on the Saturday before for the Action Day some of use will be on the track as well as on the stand.. Feel free to pop over say hello and have a chat everyone is really friendly.

I'm not sure how many pple are interested about this Sunday run on this forum however..

Due to the popularity of this meet we have had to revise the route and meeting points slightly in the interest of public safety and practicality (for attendees and the public in general).

Does driving make you hungry?

If so then you'll be glad to hear that the South Wales Run 3 has a planned/reserved cafe stop for food and drink around 13:30. It's a lovely cafe and the meals are delicious and very well priced. Especially the cakes... However, and this is important, we need to pre-order the meals in advance such that the cafe can prepare for our arrival and we will also require a deposit to secure your place in the cafe.

Listen up as this next bit is important!

The deposit required is £5 and needs to be paid by Friday 11th April, 2008.

Once your bum is on the seat in the cafe we will give you that £5 back. Why? Simple... It is quite possible that the meal you order is less than £5 so it would be unfair of us to hold on to your money. However, if someone were to order a meal and then not turn up then Rebel would have to pay the cost of that meal - which is why we are asking for a 'refundable' £5 deposit. If someone orders a meal, pays a deposit and then does not turn up then sadly they will lose their deposit.

Sounds like fun, unfortunately I can't make it this time around. Maybe next time...

Hope to see lots of pics of the journey and pics of all the lovely cars.

grumpy · 22-04-2008, 07:28

Sorry you couldnt make it will post up the next ones incase anyone is interested..

We had a busy weekend with Castle Combe the day before we won best car of the day and best Stand of the day which is a good team effort for a small club on its first Stand.

Sadly I didnt make the Sunday run myself either far too much excitement for me and the Mrs so we needed a day to relax..

But here are some pictures, from the club..

Well it was very foggy on the mountain roads so sorry for the lack of view.. but at least it didnt rain and hopefully we will have clear and brighter weather next time :smile:

Here is a selection of my fave pics from the drive.

The rest of the images can be found in the gallery here.

Hope you like thanks
