OK a bit last minute but, we'll be coming - either see you at jnct 16 at 11 or in Malpas about 12ish.

Won't be staying overnight as visiting friends in Llnagollen in the evening.

(Something to do with treble booking lots of things in advance)

See you in the morning

[Balmoral Green]

Have a good one folks, sorry I am missing it, got family duties unfortunately, thats the price for having June off to do what the hell I like

[v15ben]

Yep see everyone tomorrow!

[Naughty Magpie]

Missed you by 20 minutes, apalling traffic on the way up meant that I didn't get there until 12.15.
Ended up having some lunch and turning around and driving home!!!
oh well, 350 miles and 7hrs later am back at home now.
Cheers for waiting as long as you did and hope you all have a good weekend.

[Naughty Magpie]

Me too - dreadful Bank Holiday traffic coming up from Wolves to J16 - overshot the 11am meeting time by about 15 minutes. Saw a lonely SD1 on the A500 (I think it was that road) thought it might be one of you so turned round and gave chase and...ran into a heap of traffic! Had a really good drive back though on non-motorway roads - much quicker!
Have loads of fun tomorrow and hope you don't get snarled up in traffic!

Thanks Iain for organising what proved to be a fantastic weekend. It was great to meet V15ben - at last - and Stone, Quinny, Mart63, Ged and Alison. It was a shame that I never got a chance to get a ride out in any of the cars other than the S1.

Highlights from the weekend were the convoy out on Saturday (though World's End wasn't quite the thing for lowered suspensions ), everybody's reaction to Martin's Cerbera at the Shell station, Mrs Jones' bacon butties, reaching the summit of Snowdon, seeing a Lamborghini Countach on the way back from Snowdon and watching ten men running around naked outside Ben's halls when I dropped him off tonight

Martin, I was wondering, what's your opinion of the Fiat 20V Coupe?

You forgot my brakes failing/cooking on the way down from Worlds End...and the definite perversion of your character...



To everyone who turned up many thanks for making a great weekend.

To those who tried to and couldnt, I'm sorry you missed us but thanks for trying.

To everyone else...you miserable bastards you missed a really good weekend!

Has anyone any photos to post, we would be most interested to see those taken while my brakes cooled down...

Iain, congratulations on a v well organised weekend.

We thoroughly enjoyed everything from grounding the Chim no less than 4 times , your brakes overheating, EmmaP's prowess with the whip (scary but oddly exciting).

... and Martin's cerb. Thanks mate, now I'm under pressure to swap the chim.

Sadly we couldn't be with you from Sat eve onwards (due to my foolishness with the calender) and I suspect it was our loss.

All in all, fantastic views, great driving, superb aquaduct, fine bag o' chips and lovely people.

Iain, many thanks

till next time

By hell I wish I'd gone on this one now, I had to choose between this one and the cadwell park one in july.
Emma have you been practising your whipping technique for the Summer fun run?

[stone]

Can only echo what has been said already! Some great roads, excellent company! Looking forward to the next one! and the photos from Worlds End Brake cooling stop

I haven't quite got the wrist action right. Hopefully I will have perfected my technique come July 2nd.

I shall be posting my piccies later.
