Following on from last years TVR (others welcome) tour of over 30 cars it's time for another Christmas Tour.

It’s on Saturday 29th December. We'll start out at Shrewsbury at 9.30am, stop for a pub lunch around 12 and finish around 4.30pm in Llangollen. The route is around 180 miles of unbelievable roads.

We'll split into two groups this time to suit different driving styles

For those wishing to join for an evening meal / stay over I am looking for a new hotel as the last one has become too expensive.

The route will avoid the main tourist routes and take in more challenging scenic roads. We’ll take in our favourite roads from the last trip.

We’ll start out a few miles closer at the Shrewbury Dobbies garden Centre Roundabout Roundabout. The same one used for the October tour.

I recommend purchase some cheap walkie talkie this time like the Binatone MR150. You can get them from Asda.

I've got Autoroute 2006 so you can download direction and TomTom Files. I supply details a few days before.

Anyway post if you wish to join.

If your running semi slick tyres, it's best to change to normal or winter tyres as Wales is too unforgiving in the damp or wet.

Paul I think Ceri was up for helping with the second packs as well.

Cmr2Payne can head up the tour flushing out all the prime Sheep, whilst you guys follow behind picking up the ones that got away from cmr2Payne's clutches yikes

With all those Sheep it will be your birthday cmr2Payne!

You haven't got the Audi flag? It's the true source of his special driving powers.
