North Wales, Evo Triangle, 22nd June 2014 meet?

[SteMc330]

Thanks Paul, good to meet you an the other PH guys too. Thanks for your patience after our disjointed start.

We carried on hooning until 9pm! We went back to do more runs of the B4931, it looked incredible as the sun was setting.

Such a good day, full of adventure and lots of laughs. I was very impressed with the turnout, not just the appropriateness of the machines for those epic roads, but the gloss of the paint and the immaculate interiors - that was until Zia used his M5 interior to open a can of coke that is.

Andy, now known as the BallardBasher will never live it down as he crashed in first gear and mounted two kerbs to blow a tyre. What on earth was he doing I'll never know!! Made more funny by the fact I told him if he removed his spare wheel before the trip he''ll go faster.

A quick recap..
1/We set off heading for Liverpool Kingsway tunnel on time.
2/Andy races ahead on the M62 then takes the M61 north???
3/ John and Kate take the M6 South turning???
4/ we regroup then enjoy the first few miles of the A494
5/ Andy flattens a bollard in first gear and blows a tyre. In TopGear spirit we left him.
6/ we roll into Bala lake car park to a splendid show of performance cars beside mountains, blue skies and a magnificent lake.
7/ drive the best roads I've ever driven
8/ massive mug of tea at PetesEats in Llanberis
9/ more driving, more stopping at vistas, more laughs.
10/ home for 1215am

Absolutely fantastic, pleasure to meet all of you.

Vids and pic links will be posted here in the coming weeks.

Hey Tim, Andrew, Dan, Chris,

Thanks for being patient with us, sorry for being late but at least you had a cracking backdrop to look onto.
it was certainly a day to remember, driving Nirvana for me I absolutely loved it.

Very kind words guys I take no credit for it's success, we just had the right ingredients and it all fell into place.

John has started on the footage and I have processed a pic (see below (Richard I have doctored your plate to disguise reg). I could have easily gone crazy with he camera but would have meant less driving and chatting, so hopefully I got the balance right.

I can't wait for next time!

ey up lads. I've asked John, he said its about 70% done. It had better be worth it! With luck it will be so good it will be a big hit on here.

[SteMc330]

I've just asked John how it's going.
He has his own IT business so works long hours so its often a long time between stints.
Last I heard he was 70% done.

Video is finished, John is hosting a Premiere evening when I get back from hols in 2 weeks. He has released a sample...
(be sure to turn your speakers up to 11!)
