Hello Ricky, good to meet you and your lovely MX5, the drive to J30 was good and seeing to nice red MX5`s in the mirror looked good.

So long since I've driven just for the fun of driving
Thanks for a great day out, met some terrific people and saw some fascinating cars

Shame I'm such a wimp, could quite keep going to the end. Just got too tired to enjoy the drive. Looks like I missed the best bit, stunning pictures and the drone video looks great.

Thanks to everyone involved in the organisation. Hope to meet you all again

Loved that Cayman Bri - and at least you missed the two straw bale lorries (you'd have still been picking the bits out of your 3 rads)!

Paul, your car sounded great. I was in the red R32 infront of you as we left the horse shoe up until Builth, could here your car everytime you booted it and I was infront of you haha. Must say my car was a little twitchy around some of those corners.

im sure it was your car that gave it beans past me when I was filling my car up in the Shell garage in Swansea one sunday morning after work, around 3.30am? Good few weeks ago.

Irfan
Thanks irfan

Going through that section was the best bit for us. Next time pop over for a chat or if you see me in swansea again flash me over, anyway thanks for the compliments.......

Donated - Brilliant Day, Cheers Matt...

It really was. lovely mix of metal and people, followed the white 997 GT3 over the mountain at Penderyn biggrin damn that thing was planted, would have had him on the straight but a TVR was holding us back wink, after the stop-off at the Horseshoe bend I got caught up in the Brecon merry go round and a wrong turn then made me very late at the little chef, a quick chat to a few people and decided I had to follow the Ferarri, that noise is Hypnotic, so much so it wasn't for a few miles did it dawn on me we went the wrong way, kept going to L/Wells and came back to Beaulah via B4358(great road) hot on the heels of the Black Porsche(very spirited when called for but always safe thumbup), Ironic that all who went that way made the new final meeting point and I got to the original one along with the Silver GTR R35(small local 5 min diversion around road closure)I went up and down a few times which is always fun, figured you'd gone elsewhere so headed home, will get more involved at the next one..... Cheers

only pics I took have been shared on James's Post/FB...

Had a really good run from Breacon over to Builth,think I bedded in the new rubber on the rear.What a great bit of road that issmilesmilesmile
There was a great mixture of cars, what a great turn out.Some great pictures from the press gang on line so far,looking forward to see the video from the drones.

Cheers Ken,
Wife's away, so I can use the vacuum cleaner for the rad straw

What an excellent day. I had forgotten how much fun a good road can be

I'm good thanks. Look a little different to when Matt was trying to blow us all up at Ogmore though so probably why you didn't realise it was me smile

Was great following you on that run, with the E46 M3 behind me. My rear tyres had seen better days and I think that finished them off.

Thanks again Earl Grey for organising. I'd definitely be up for another event in future.
