Hi All

Thanks for attending the drive yesterday, I hope you all enjoyed the roads and the day.
I will see what drone footage i have to see what i can cobble together. fingers crossed.

Sorry that Terry the burger wagon owner was so Rude to anyone attending. I did inform him politely that it was Public land and we will only be staying a short time, however this was meet with Aggression and colourful language that was not appropriate to get the desired result he so yearned for. I Guess he got up on the wrong side of the bed.
I will ask that we don't Toll him or respond, as the chap does have a living to keep as he did tell me several times.
I guess it speaks volumes when your customers have to calm you down, and communicate in a polite manner to get the job done.
Apologies to any bikers that may have been trying to leave at this time, but im sure some may have enjoyed seeing the fantastic collection of cars on the day.
I guess we will use the layby further down the road next time.

Fingers Crossed no one got Zapped by the Scamera Van.

Hope to see you all on the Next one.

Loved the run out yesterday. Thanks to Matt (Earl Gray) for sorting everything. Sorry to hear about the bender in the food van. I could see we had annoyed a few people. Loved having a chat with a few of you guys. Nice to see Jack in his S2000 and I spoke to the other Silver S2000 owner who turned out to be a police man :O (Only messing, Nice chatting with you). Hadn't seen those Porsche Boxter Spyders before, they were amazing looking and sounding cars loved them. Loads of great cars and great people. Thanks all for making it a good day out. *bonus* only took me an hour and 15 to get home to Aberystwyth. Much better than the 2 hours 15 to get to JCT 30.

What a day!! It was like goodwood only better. Big shout out to the organiser, I imagine these things are a nightmare to get sorted. I've been to a few other forum meets however this was pick of the bunch due to the array of cars out. Weather and roads were perfect. Nice to meet some tidy drivers too, all very friendly and letting people nose over your cars. I'll definitely be attending again plus the monthlies down cross hands too! I was in the S2000 and my mate was in the blue TT. I've tried to load some pics but they just turn them sideways. I'll keep trying lol
Nice ;-)

Some pictures I took, I was a bit lazy and couldn't be arsed to take out the number plates, please shout if you're not happy and I'll remove.

Some of my highlights of the day:
1) The Boxster Spyders - looked and sounded amazing.
2) The Lexus - didn't expect it to have that much power and the sound, wow smile
3) The Porsche 964 (I'm biasing to Porsche I know :P)
4) The R32 that was having a bit of an identity crisis with Porsche brakes.
5) The blue Mk1 TT.
6) The white 370Z, shifted and sounded absolutely amazing.
7) The GT-R's smile
8) So much more!

Again, thanks for organising a great day, I can't wait to see some more pictures and the drone footage.

I feel very privileged to have been a part of such a well organised day out and what a great day out it was.

Thank you Matt for all your time and effort and looking after us all.

Can't wait for the next meeting and, although I enjoyed every minute being a passenger in Alex's Lexus (wolf in sheep's clothing) ISF, I'll be bringing my old lady out to stretch her legs next time. No, not my wife but my 18 year old Fiat Coupe.

Here is a YouTube link to a few drive by's I managed to take on the day.

Hope you enjoy smile

I was behind you and Alex in the Lexus just after the third stop. Then when the road opened up, I was very far behind! hehe

Good to see your new Civic! Cheers for letting me have a look around too. Shame to hear the S2000 might be going though!

Gutted I couldn't stay for the whole day. Great run yet again.

Having watched that video it reminded me how great the Z cars sounded. I was lucky enough to be behind 3 of them and a GTR leaving Builth Wells and the noise was fantastic!
