North Wales, Evo Triangle, 22nd June 2014 meet?
Discussion
Hi Guys
Myself and a few pals are heading off to North Wales on 22nd June to enjoy the tunnels on Conwy, the Llanberris pass and of course the Evo Triangle. We'll then head down past Bala towards Black Rock sands where I'll take some fleet pics.
You're welcome to join us, what ya got?
Cheers

Hey Tim
Good to have you on board, would love to see the Nismo tearing up some Welsh tarmac.
We're setting off from Leeds area in the morning, I reckon we could get to the address below in Ruthin at approx 11am, there's a gravel car park just 100 yards from the roundabout which looks good to meet. I'll be in a silver 330D, my friend Zia will be in his Black E60 M5, I'm also expecting an S8, a 964 Targa and maybe a Clio V6 mk2.
This address is just a few miles from the Evo Triangle.
A494, Ruthin LL15 2AA, where the B105meets the A494.
Another rest stop would be Llanberris car park overlooking the lake, if we split up or someone is late, we could meet there at 1pm. Pete's Eats cafe is just up the road - would be a good place to get a bite to eat before exploring more.
Nearest Shell V power petrol station is in Mold, CH7 1UE.

HHi Rich, Hi Nige
Thanks for the invite to hook up - great idea, it's going to be an awesome convoy of tasty machines. I can't wait.
I've noticed that theirs a big white pub at the top of The Triangle called the Sportsmans Arms, the car park looks to be a decent size, I think we could for our 40+ cars there???
I'd love to see your route, PM or email to me.. smcniven AT gmail dot com (SPAM friendly text)
Today I had Powerflex bushes and Michelin Pilot Sport 3's fitted to the front of my 330D M Sport - now it feels dialled in, the steering feels like its gone from 480 to 1080HD, I can feel a lot more of the road and the initial braking bite is sharper.
Wait until you guys see the shine on my mate Zia's black M5, I showed another mate a pic, his reply was 'what colour is it'? The reason he asked was because all you can see is the reflections!!!
Another mate Andy is so looking forward to this as he is a newbie petrol head, get this, because he lives in the Netherlands he is sending me £6k for me to find and buy a Civic Type R!!

I've not done an exact route yet, but this map gives an indication of the roads we would like to cover.
We start off by going through the Mersey Tunnel then head towards Ruthin, or maybe Denbigh so we can come into the Triangle from the North.
As for eating at an establishment, I'm not particularly bothered about eating, I'll grab something from a garage en route.

I have just telephoned the resident of The Sportsmans Arms, he confirms that yes they are closed but he doesn't mind us using his car park. He said that we just need to move the cones then put them back once we're done.
I promised I/we would do that and we would not leave any litter.
Sorted.

Cheers buddy.
Luckily the Triangle can be appreciated at reasonable speeds, I'll be setting my 'bong' speed limiter to 65 to remind me to back off.
I was at Harewood house car show yesterday and invited a load more people with nice/interesting motors. Some were up for it, some were "oh no, not my thing sorry, I don't want to put the miles on the car".
Such a waste of a; Quattro, RS Focus, Noble M400.
Just 6 sleeps!!
