Another Triangle Adventure

[mikey k]

Well the weather was good today, work was slow and i had an invite to drive round the EVO triangle with Jonby and his group (thank you )

Met up with them at the Rheg Estate Restaurant boy that's come ALONG way from the caravan snack bar.
I was a tad concerned when the Wrexham to Ruthin road still had 5' snow drifts either side and you couldn't get two cars side by side along it

What a sight the car park was
Vanquish 2
DB7 Volante
V12VR
458
360
Boxster Spyder
and 3 more 911's I've not worked out

All covered in salt

Once they'd finished what looked like an excellent lunch. We set off anticlockwise round the triangle. Jonby's V12VR, the Vanquish and the 458 sounded EPIC! (sorry Cockers)
The scenery was also EPIC

After a fuel stop at my favourite Snowdonia watering hole it was off up the Llanberis Pass

And back down the other side avoiding wolly bollards

A stop at the bottom for some photos

And a prize to anyone (other than Jonby) that can tell me what he is up to in the boot

I had a good poke around the Vanquish2, I have to say seeing it and hearing it in the flesh it all fell in to place. Even "the" lip

Back up the other side towards a pint at the Groes Inn

A great afternoon and thank you very much to Jonby/Paul for the invite.
I'm really looking forward to getting involved with GDC.

nice story!
Some fresh news of your project?

[sukh_m]

Looks amazing, similar scenery at the 27th April meet?

[IanV12VR]

Now that looks like fun

[erics]

Superb..... Except i was not there....

[mikey k]

Vince - I think Bruce is about to start build the block up
Sukh - pretty much, less snow and more water
Ian - those V12VRs sound amazing though I think a few are going to end up visiting BR
Erics - you can't go every week!

[Bincenzo]

Awesome Mikey, looked fantastic, really whetted the appetite for the forthcoming fun.

[Jockman]

Thought this was going to be another porn thread

Great pics Mr K, I can see Kay's handy work all over them !!

I'm off out to Llanberis in 3 hours.....in Karen's BMW

What's the forthcoming fun?

Erics, that was actually a typo, but correct nonetheless. I was referring to the mid Wales run 26 Apr, for which the route looks epic. Are you coming?

Very tempting

[silverspeed]

Is Jonbys still stock or has he secretly been to BR already? Sounds like you had a great day out and great mix of cars.

[mikey k]

Jockman - actually those are all mine! (good teacher) Snowdonia look stunning with the snow on the peaks.
Erics - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Silverseed - currently stock but I doubt for long

Mikey as a founder member of the friday 5 EPIC is acceptable , that looked awesome, very envious.

My answer. Getting a hat out as it was bloody cold and he has a roadster.

Not a bad guess but think a little more off the wall

[t1blk]

Those pictures are amazing, the scenery beautiful. It looked like a fantastic drive out. I was at a loose end yesterday, I wish I'd have known about it.

[mikey k]

Tony are you still coming on 26th?

A capping stone... off a wall?

Up to now Mikey yes, however it depends a lot on what gets found on my M.O.T. and service monday and tuesday at Bridge Mill.

[Markv8v]

Looks like a great day out.

Could someone please list the route as I have tried to find it listed and failed !!

I really fancy doing this one day instead of turning left on the M54 turn right and off for a day of adventure.

Many thanks to anyone who replies with the route details
