Secondly a special thank you to huw for taking my son and I in your beast of a Nissan gtr it was awesome....

Lastly looking forward to the next one.

Kind regards

Great fun - thanks for arranging. Lost you all all as we had lunch at the biker caf as suggested and then probably missed a turning off for Llangadog. Luckily we also missed the sneaky camera van on THE ONLY straight between Builth and Aber! I suspect he made a killing as it was one of the few safe overtaking opportunities but us Welsh motorists are such a friendly bunch - especially with the shiny headlamps

Have a bit of footage from my gizmo if you want it to go with the drone - will send Earl Grey a PM link and my thanks.

Here's to the next one in aid of a good cause.

Cracking day with a bunch of great people.
I've not even made it home yet, still another hour to go.

Well worth it though, looking forward to seeing the photos and drone footage.

Hi All

Thanks for coming today was great to meet you all, if a little brief at times. lots of new faces
May take a while to get through what footage we can use and if its any good to use. as the drone is new to me, and it may look rubbish but will see what we have however Richard with the other drone is a little more experienced than me at this so may have better pics and videos.

Sorry about the directions from little chef that's my fault getting my roads mixed up, sorry for any confusion there.
however it all seemed to come together OK.
Shame the last road was closed and we were not able to drive up that one as it is good. maybe for the next one

Big thanks to Richard with the other drone also and James from Oversteer photography.

If you have a look through the paperwork today you will find how to donate to cancer research, and would be greatly received no matter how much you can give.

Great to see some fantastic cars and really enjoyed today. again thanks everyone for making the day fantastic day.

Here to the next one

Thanks Matthew for a great day.

Thanks to RyanTank also for his company and directions.

Sorry to anyone who was following me (Grey TVR Chimaera) when my brake lights weren't working and hope I didn't five you too many heart attacks.

Also big thanks to Ricky for helping me out with the boiler.

Heya guys. Great day today. Thanks to everyone for making it a good day. Thanks to Earl Gray for organising . I will be putting in a donation asap. Looking forward to seeing the finished footage.

as already said, brill way to spend a sunday with some cracking cars and just as cracking roads. Well organised and a nice bunch of like minded people!

i did chuckle to myself at one point when a member of the public in a red old shape Seat Ibiza started over taking our convoy to try and egg on a race with who ever was driving the grey s2000 and blue 350z behind me. What a penis!

very much look forward to the next one.

Wow, what a great day, many thanks to Earl for organising it, also many thanks to the camera man, awesome ! Tyretread, I think my lad has changed his underwear glad you got your lights sorted. It was good to meet so many great people enjoying their cars, truly a memorable day, thank you all

[Foggy748]

Thank you Matthew for a fantastic day! It was nice to meet you and many others, ogle the lovely cars (the RS4 in the perfect spec was nice as were so many others). Organisation was great but we managed to lose sight of everyone after the Little Chef and couldn't find the final gathering but we did try and hunt you all down.

The 120 Datsun put the GT-R's to shame, I mean, did you see the drifting going on with that?!!

Thanks once again and looking forward to the next one.

Now to the Justgiving website.

Hi guys,was a great day and as said before thanks to Earl Grey for organising! I was in the blue R32 and Will donate after this post ... Unfortunately I managed to get completely lost in Brecon and missed the link road to Builth which was gutting but, after calling Rez in the White GT3 and Luke in the gleaming Scirocco we managed to have a clear run of the "Blacks" ahead of the main group...

Great run in total ....😁

The Datsun was hilarious! All I could see in my rear view mirror was the Datsun coming round corners at questionable angles, with James hanging out the side with his camera!

The GTRs were incredible though and the 350Zs sounded incredible!

[DAVIDOXE]

I was only able to join you guys for an hour or so (Silver V12Vantage) but thoroughly enjoyed the time with like minded people. Thanks for organising will look out for the next one.

Yep it was me in the s2k he passed. Was far too tempting to put my toe down.

[KUROZED]

Thanks to Earl for a great meet today!

Great mix of cars and friendly people.

Myself and partner were in the black 350z (smelly, loud exhaust) and will be donating

Will defiantly be up for any future meets!

Thanks!
