Back at the hotel with a cold beer in hand now so I'll take the opportunity and get my thanks in first. Good job with the organisation Mikey, another entertaining trip chalked up. We haven't even had the main event yet, will report back in the morning

Thanks again

[AMDBSNick]

Brilliant organisation as usual, thanks Mikey. Fantastic routes as ever including the odd detour by my party

Great to meet some new folk and catch up with some regulars.

Sorry we had to leave after lunch but we had a bit of a giggle on the A44 heading home

Roll on the next one.

P.S. Best of luck with the birthday boy tonight

Good to see you again Nick and nice to meet Moose!
Thanks for leading the other group and glad to see you made a few detours

We had a bit of fun with the Hedlu

Very glad the weather held out
We are back now

Thanks Mike for organising a great drive and to everyone else in the group who made my first trip away with you so enjoyable, even the sun shone for us yesterday. I hope to see you all again on another adventure.

Andrew, and son Jonathan.

Thanks for organising Mikey, sadly I didn't get chance to have a chat with you while we were there.

Thanks to everyone for bump starts too, it's fair to say I had some sweats on by lunch time when our convoy kept getting lost and stopping (basically if my rpm dropped below 2000 for more than 20 seconds all the battery lights were coming on). There's is nothing quite like focussig the mind on not stalling when you're in the middle of nowhere with no signal for rescue.

By 4pm the car was back home, hooned it from Aber, there's a good 14v across the battery when running so the alternator is fine, battery is off and going for a test tomorrow but I think/hope it's dead.

I hope the police weren't too much of a problem

Twice and that was Martyn's fault

You forget to mention being low on fuel too Dave

Haha true enough, to be fair it wasn't until we were back on main roads hooning that the light came on so I knew I'd be ok there

[mikey k]

Glad to see you all enjoyed it!
Shame Nanteos Mansion wasted a chunk of our driving time in the afternoon

[shropshireAston]

Great job Mikey... amazing mix of cars - and so nice meeting the McLaren owners
I'm feeling weak... man maths starting to work overtime :-)

Hope to see you all again soon

[100 IAN]

Many thanks to Mikey for organising a great trip, just a shame that we were only able to make Friday.

Weather turned out better than forecast which was a great bonus.

Hopefully next time we'll be able to make the whole weekend.

Cheers! Ian & Adam

Mikey, thanks a million for a great weekend!!!

All weekend events are memorable, this one was the first I have been in with the long arm of the law - group pull-over by blue lights! Luckily we we're doing anything wrong (as you would expect ) it was just a technical with someone's registration change and their insurance docs. The policeman loved all the cars
