Great Orme Run...any interest?

Post 622985 by vaderboyo on 2013-07-05 23:02:20

Hi all, I've been out of things for a while due to work commitments so need to get back in the seat. Its been so manic I've not even seen that nutter from Pwllheli who likes destroying tail pipes on country lanes :hilarious although I may swoop on him next week if he's up for a visit :-) Any interest in meeting up for a run around the orme - would make good opportunity for videos pics etc and opportunity for me to catch up proper. Golden Wonder still going strong - needs a good clean though...all that sheep sh*t in the boot etc Any interest...in meeting up..... not sheep Dyl

Would be nice to see Dave, James and Stew to complete the Evo Crew from last year

[QUOTE=iancho;623990]Would be nice to see Dave, James and Stew to complete the Evo Crew from last year[/QUOTE] don't forget Colin, Paul and Phil, it would be nice to see them all again and we could have a run run the triangle on the way there and on the way back. I will be in the T5-R this time, so if you thought the V70R awd was quick, you might need to think again by the end of the day. Could even take you for a run, but WD's car would be the best choice as that is amazing, hopefully back to good health by then.

Post 624352 by iancho on 2013-07-10 20:52:48

Colin, Paul and Phil have already said they were up for it that's why I didn't mention their names... A quick blast around the triangle sounds like a good start to the day Adrian and a nice way to finish too. This meet is getting more and more interesting :smile: Will be good to see your T5R as your V70R was impressive enough last year... I'd be more than happy to sit next to you mate and see how she handles.... I just loved the whole day last year :smile:

[QUOTE=Biff;634916]Anything else confirmed on this lads? Be great to meet up.[/QUOTE] I Would imagine the Shropshire and Mid-Wales crowd will be meeting up to convoy up, probably grab a coffee at the cafe by the saracen's head on the a5 then a lap of the evo triangle and then up to the Orme (or where ever Dylan wishes to meet up) we probably do another lap or so on the way back. Times to be worked out later when we know Dylans plans. We could arrange to meet up with you and others on the way up if you like

Post 635181 by Biff on 2013-08-14 05:20:00

I wouldn't mind coming down the a5 for a blast on the triangle! I'm game, my car might be awd again by then, I hope! Lol

Ian if you come up the m40, oxford to shrewsbury is about 2hrs 8mins according to googlemaps so not to bad and will be quiet on a sunday morning so you'll probably nip a bit off that time as well.

Just to confirm... I'm out! The car now needs three engine mounts and the front brakes have just gone. And this is just the bits I know about.... I need to go over the car in detail, maybe change the front suspension too. As I need to prep the car for the November track day this month is going to be expensive, so £150 in fuel might just be the tipping point. (Plus I need to pull the VW apart).

I think as, I had hoped to do it this year as a weekender, I'll sort it out of next year and then people travelling fair distances can camp, have a tinny or 2 and enjoy 2 days of great welsh roads, or they can just meet and do a day if they wish or whatever bit suits them, we'll work a schedule out so people can come and go as they please so the maximum people can enjoy the event, as they can work it around their own commitments. Any way a few more pics as I wasn't really fair to Tony making his car look like an offroader, by putting up a pic of him cresting a brow, the next pic is excellent as it the is ultra low with the suspension compressed
