How many of you boyos from South Wales are travelling to BBWF on the Saturday morning?
And which route will you be taking as I, and a couple of others from 3C TVRCC, would like to tag on to your convoy if thats possible.

We will be in disguise as the northern mob are threatening to repel borders

Dunno yet. Probably Fosse way like last year chaps? Meet at Magor, on to Bath then camo and twigs on for a raid?

Last years run up was fannytastic. I nearly drove back to do it again.

M4 then up the fosseway on masse. Led by Duncan in his SEAC. Rumbling through unsuspecting villages etc

I ain't going in disguise as I will be flying a six foot welsh flag from the roof!.......and a bit of Tom on the stereo (Jones that is not O'Connor).

ps. Going up Friday you miss half the fun imho.

Do you mean to follow the A46 from Bath,through Stroud and Cheltenham etc?
If so I could join you around Teddington
(just off Tewksbury Junction M5)

Morning Steve. There is a service station on the way out of Cirencester just over the new junction for the dual carrage way. Its where there was a police patrol car parked last year that was a bit bemused as we pulled in to gather up the cars after getting split up a bit......all under 30mph

This sounds fine to me - now my only problem is the Wedge has developed "Uglymug Syndrome" and has refused to start

First time in almost a year of daily driving!

RAC came and tried - almost got there but he had gotten the starter motor so hot it was almost unable to turn the engine over!!!

So it was onto the relay truck and off into a nearby Morgan dealer (who was going to look at it anyway to try and sort the low speed rough running )and we are now keeping our fingers crossed that a swift (and inexpensive) solution is forthcoming

I`ll keep ya posted
