[Dano']

Cheers to @Filters for organising a great little meet, meet details are here:

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...Rhayader-Sunday-6th-April-200-miles-of-tarmac

(some photos on the last page already, if you guys want to repost them in this thread? up to you!)

wasnt a bad turn out, not as many as per the list of names.. but it was worth it all the same!

My self and @Ash' drove up in my RB, leaving the house to hit the road for 8:30ish and arriving by 10:30ish

Great dedication to the guys from Wrexham @harp172
Sorry you guys got left behind/lost.. round-abouts and traffic lights ruin convoys, but well done for catching up to us in the end!

the weather was pants, but spirits were high and we enjoyed the meet/drive all the same!

heres a few of the pics I took, apologise for rain splots on the lense, I tried to get a pic of everyones car. so if you want me to send you yours, pm me ya reg and which car was yours and ill send em via pm

Just before we decided to head home, I pulled @BigBarry172 to one side to get a couple of pics RB face to face, to compare white vs black wheels..
I now have my heart set on white tbh...

Sorry for so many pics.. just wanted to get a view of everyones cars!

All in all had a great day, shame about the weather.. and the food from the cafe was umm.. interesting.. at best lol

Nice to meet you guys, and hopefully the next meet involves a bit more sunshine, and a bit less drizzle!

Cheers.

Flickr's retarded new setup has hit you... and only one image is working. I'd fix it, but I've not looked in how to do it yet. Poxy thing.

The other option is to just copy the url out the middle and stick it in the middle of [ img ] [/ img ] with no spaces.

 

[Dano']

Sorry failed with the pics first try, fixed now.. bit small but meh haha

[Rob]

Not a problem, just thought I'd post and let you know so you had time to edit

Looks a nice meet, and nice pics too.

 

[Cooperate]

Some nice pics here mate! and yes the cafe was an experience to say the least haha.

I will get pics up on both threads soon as I work out how

 

[Craig_B]

Great photos!

 

[msremmert]

Wish I'd been there. Been looking forward to this for weeks!
Poor 182

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Good pics mate. Wish I was there from the start.
I came at the end of the meet in builth wells. Better late than never!

Stopped off to pick an Indian up for me and the wife on way home

 

[Dano']

Ly looks lovely bud!^

sorry I didn't stay to the end, had a birthday meal booked with the misses, didn't wanna get back too lalate would have been nice to get a pic of the Rb next to a Ly, the colours really play well for each other!

ah we'll next time eh

the most typical part.. Got back to Pembrokeshire.. The sun was gleaming! Not a drop of rain in sight! Lol

Thanks mate. I love an RB. I was looking for an RB when I was buying and this LY turned up just before I bought an RB. Well get some pics of them together in near future
It's sods law with weather. It cleared up towards end of day too.

Some great pics there mate.

That Ly is the nuts !!! Awsome

Thanks mate. Like the RB too. The 2 cup RBs in the pics look real good!

 

[Dano']

Mines a ff (with the black wheels)

they scrub up well, mines on 96/97k miles, bigbarry172's is on 95/96k

I do like the black wheels! Are they the pro race 3? I almost bought a set of those for mine in 15s. But bought full set of tyres for std wheels instead and gonna get them refurbished for now. Will get those for track maybe with semi slicks.
Funny how their same mileage.
Mines on 58k

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Is yours the arctic blue then Jim? I passed an AB on way into builth. Was that you?

 

[Dano']

Yeh my wheels are pro race 3s, gonna get them sprayed white tho

Nice wheels
Whites nice, I'd keep em black myself. White is a nightmare.... Have white alloys on the vxr and their a massive pain.

 

[Filters]

Well...everyone's pic's turned out better than mine so I won't fill this thread up with mine!
Ash' had a damn good idea for a future meet...talks of finding somewhere to go "go-karting" if enough are interested?

Again, cheers to everyone that made it down. Was really good to see there's some dedicated members out there.

 

[Dano']

Go karting would be an epic idea, I'm sure we can arrange something..

might be worth dragging you guys down this way for the day, BP karting in Haverfordwest is on an airfield in a hangar / big shed thing, plenty of space to park out side, and loads of places to meet up for photos, we got beaches, castles, woodland and some pretty decent roads to drive about on, all depends how far people are willing to go!

Im sure we can sort something!

Im looking forward to the next meet where ever it it!

 

[Bug]

Well up for a cliosport convoy for go karting lads
Shame I couldn't stay the full day but I have to watch f1 live
So next meet make it on a weekend the f1 isnt on aha

 

[MJRacing]

Haverfordwest is only down the road, I'd be up for this depending on dates.

 

[Dano']

Haverfordwest is only down the road, I'd be up for this depending on dates.

Ill pop in and see if we can get a discount depending on numbers, I work in a hotel in Tenby and april/may is the start of the "busy season" so getting time off work will be hard..

im sure we can sort something out tho!

I'll look in to Carew karting too, thats outdoor and basically across the road from Carew castle we could go for some photos and what not

We'll see

 

[Cooperate]

Ill be well up for karting, weekends are better for me

 

[Matt W]

Good to see it was a successful meet! Shame about the weather, i've been getting sun burnt

The weather did put a bit of a dampener on the turn out but was still a good laugh!
Some smart clio's kicking about in wales so it seems....the yellow ph1 was immaculate!

It may be worth looking in to where we'd get the best deal and the most track time.
Had a little look online last night and turns out there's at least 10 places we could pick from! So many different track layouts!

I've had a nose at Supakarts website (newport)...they have an offer on till the 25th of this month.
£29 for 30 mins straight and then we get another half hour for free. Or if we paired up and paid £14.50 each we'd all get half hour on track.
An extra £5 (or £2.50 each) would get us upgraded to "arrive and race".

I'm not fussed where we go personally! Just noticed there special offers and thought it may be worth mentioning.

 

[Matt W]

The Newport one is very good IMO. The monday free upgrade deal is the one I usually use.

Craig only stayed for the initial meeting, I did try bullying him into coming along but he wasn't having any of it

I only turned up in the last section myself. So missed almost everyone.
The go karting sounds good.

 

[Filters]

Think with the current deal that's on it would work out as a better deal than the monday night upgrades mucka.
Certainly worth looking in to though....

 

[Filters]

He probably didn't want to get it dirty and I don't blame him bud...
If my clio was that clean I'd only every drive when it was bone dry outside!

I mentioned Carew karting (well forgot the name but it was the place I was talking about). It looks like a great track and plenty of parking too. I would be well up for this!

I am sure if you phoned up or popped in and said you could get them a tidy sized group they would sort something out. Then it is just a case of having a decent turn out.

I might be going to Tenby over the next couple of weeks. What Hotel do you work at?

Yeah its lovely, he had things to do buddy I dont think he minds driving the car . . . It was like glue on the way to newport just proper grip

It did look mint fair play. What's he done to it?

 

[Craig_B]

Cheers for the comments on me ph1 lads. Sorry I couldn't stay for the whole thing.

If anything I need to drive it more! Don't do a lot of milage at all.

 

[Cooperate]

Would be nice to see a pic of your ph1 next to Dans ly

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Yeah they'd make for good pics
