much of a turn out this morning Huw?
Pretty good, usual fast hatchbacks through to a Ferrar 360, Aventador & Aston DBS Superleggera. And one of these, probably the coolest car there was a VW Fridolin, complete with sliding doors. Similar to this

Sunday 22nd Nov - Myself and possibly a few other members are up for a little drive through Brecon and its open for anyone else to join seen as we havent had a proper meet and drives at all this year.

No route as such, but assuming the weather is decent, we could meet at the Horseshoe @10.30am and head out to the Black Mountains? Depends how much time everyone has.

i've DM'd Ken Figenus on here, and he has sent me some details form a piston heads south wales group on facebook where a drive has been organised for 10am this Sunday, meeting at Aldi in Neath, SA10 7AY.

from there the route goes over the black mountains, through brecon and down the a470.

just to highlight im not the organiser of this one - im not on facebook but i'd recommend finding the group and checking it out for updates, or just turn up to Aldi Neath on Sunday.

yes mate, my suggestion of the Horse Shoe was before i knew about the facebook one, so to be honest i'd just stick with the Facebook arrangements so hopefully a few members can meet up and not get wires crossed with my earlier suggestion lol.

Weather looks on side for tomorrow which is always a plus.

interesting stable of cars you have - i look forward to seeing any of those (especially the E39 M5) if you can make it tomorrow!

just checked, looks like a little typo from the other member to me with the details. It is in fact a Lidl store. Its next to Burger King and near Halfords in Neath, parallel to the A465.

Good day today and nice to meet some local PH members. Great assortment of cars and some clear roads to stretch their legs!

Im also not on Facebook. It would be really handy if someone would be kind enough to update this thread with any local drives like today if any info is posted on the Facebook group. Bit of confusion today, i thought it was a Pistonheads organised run, it was actually a car club called Ignite South Wales and a few PH members tagged along to that. Might be worth tracking that page too if anyone is on Facebook.


Small selection of some quick pics i took today. Some issues uploading them but they are clickable thumbnails for the full size images.:

Enjoyed the day and chatting to lots of you smile

Cant believe its been 11 months here since the last meet. I suggest you and me get together and sort something Irfan - we can call the group '2 Lidl 2 Late' biggrin? Have arranged a few trips for groups in the past in Spain/NC500 etc. Something that starts a bit earlier so people can still get home for Sunday lunch or we can have a lunch together as the last thing of the day for those that can stay?

I only took 4 cr@p shots as I was yacking too much and looking at hot V's etc LOL! Our stunning Wales mind!
