McLarens at Morgan

[mikey k]

UPDATE - DETAILS CONFIRMED BELOW! FRIDAY 22nd & SATURDAY 23rd APRIL

Any of you ex Aston owners might recall some of the meets/drives I've put together over the years.
A few of the current and ex owners have been pestering me to do another one for a while.
In a moment of inspiration whilst on our Scotland trip, I thought a factory visit round Morgan with some McLarens would be a very interesting contrast between two great British (still!) car makers and not too far from some great roads!.
So a Morgan factory tour at 10:30AM on Friday 22nd April at this address

http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/contact-us-2/

There is a charge of £15/person
I'll organise a lunch stop and Friday drive as well

Friday night we are stopping in mid Wales (PM me for details)

The rate is £75/person/night based on a couple sharing a room. £10/night extra for single rooms or £20/night extra for single occupancy double room.
This includes the evening meal.

Saturday we have a nice drive in and around the Elan Valley area and back to the hotel. Feel free to stop an extra night if you wish!


Here's a few pics to give you an idea

Hey Molly have you got dates for the Porsche run yet?
I've sorted the hotel, planned the route and just about sorted lunch
Just need to do a "dry" run

[mikey k]

robgt3 said:

No dates planned just yet Mikey, still waiting to take delivery of the RS. Try and hang on for the next couple of weeks as we would love to join you.
Have you run in your new beastie yet. Plus have you attended your speed awareness course ?

Ran Bruce as I got to Edinburgh
No course offered 3 points & £100 for 82 in a 70

TISPKJ said:

Never mind "dry run" just ensure the "runs dry" on the weekend

Lap of the gods that!
I'm usually luck with it though

[mikey k]

Rob the way you drive it needs all the protection it can get
Nearly did a dry run at the weekend but it turned out very wet
Plenty of time between now and April
