Lol that is true. That was the only snow I saw all year.

John I live in North Manchester but I'm in Warrington tonight - will be going via M56 if you wanted to convoy down there. Either way see you there hopefully.

If for whatever reason I'm late, there'll be a lad with a blue boxster there, his name is Joel.

The more the merrier. Time it right and I'll probably meet you on the a55

 

[Pauleds]

Look out for me on the A5 heading south
Silver vectra, towing car trailer - with some of a Cup on the back!

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

I might pass some of you guys as I'll be passing the Ponderosa on the way to Llangollen for a mountain bike race.
If you want to see some carnage go and check it out.
Weather is a bit s**t up here at the moment but it's due to dry out I think.
Have a good day!

What time is it?

It's windy here but it doesn't look to be wanting to rain. Hopefully it's the same down there

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

It's on all day. It's signed from Llangollen centre. Think the last racer down is around 4. It's give rain showers at 1 then sunny after. Cloudy before. Just leaving mine so I'll probably pass you at the Ponderosa. I'll give a beep

 

[Mr Burns]

Well I've only just woke up...

 

[nicorossi]

Good fun today, enjoyed it.

@Knuckles apologies for any confusion at the end - nav was saying hook right to go home and I needed a pee!

It was a great day out, it's just a shame the sun came out too late.

And it's no bother, me and John had a good drive on the way home... And I had a massive brown pants moment while looking for johns turn off on the motorway with a van just stopped dead in the middle of the road. Whoops.

Anyway, here are my pics. We got a bit carried away to stop and take pretty pictures lol.

MG 1.8 mini clubman. This thing sounded hilarious!





A quicker than expected 2.7 boxster







Very tidy 172!



And a very tidy 182



And one of these



The first part of the day was fairly overcast but the rain wasn't heavy enough to stop us enjoying the roads.









After a lap of the triangle we went back to a pub at the foot of the horseshoe pass... I think we should've started here... Later in the day... Because the sun came out.





Waiting for john as some incostiderate motorist broke up our little drive home convoy





And home.



Again, cheers to all who came and I'm looking forward to the next outing

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Looked a good day guy's, wish i wasn't working lol. I'll be down for the next one for sure depending on work.

 

[Mr Burns]

Looks like a good time, would've loved to have seen that Mini! Shame about the weather (as always!). I think Not Normal Dan and a few of the lads on RSMegane are organising a triangle run in July, so I'll keep you all posted.

 

[Cropper]

Gutted I couldn't make it

How far away are you? I'll try and get the mini out next time. Hopefully it'll be able to go round corners then haha.

Yeah, definitely, keep us posted.

Gutted I couldn't make it

I'll keep you posted for next time

 

[Mr Burns]

I'm in Cannock mate, and the lads organising are in Burton and Nottingham.

 

[nicorossi]

Great pics @Knuckles and glad you got back in one piece.

Definitely need to give mine a clean now but up for it again... few laps of the triangle itself next time.

Cheers, iphone ftw. Hopefully some of the photography boffins will come next time.

Mine thankfully isn't as dirty as I expected

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I'm coming next time if I'm free not taken the Clio out for a good run yet

 

[Knuckles]

I'm coming next time if I'm free :smile: not taken the Clio out for a good run yet

Why is the boost bus not coming?

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Why is the boost bus not coming? 😧

Sold it mate

 

[Knuckles]

Sold it mate

Oh no! Why and what clio did you replace it with?

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Oh no! Why and what clio did you replace it with?

A mate of mine made an offer for it 200 quid more than I paid, so I had my fun out of it for free. Got a phase 2 iceberg 172 now mate. Ever since I sold my first I regretted it so bought another lol

You jammy sod.

Seeing the 1*2s in my rear view today definitely made me fall for them again. They're such awesome looking little cars.
