All like minded people are welcome to join us

Please feel free to join us on this drive, its not a race (note the safety rules please). 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.

Some photos of the roads we will be driving

See Gallery or click here 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.

Thank you.

Now if that layby is the one I'm thinking of, then it's the end of a bloody cracking road

and a cracking start of a another section, worth the drive on it's own right!!

Saldy I won't have a new ride to enjoy by then.

grumpy · 26-07-2008, 08:28

Sorry to hear you wont be able to make it Colin as it would have been good to meet you.

Yes the layby is at the end of a lovely section of road and the start of another, thankfully we are blessed with some great driving roads in Wales.
