Around 12.30 I'd imagine, allowing for delays, tractors and fuel stops.

Remember no driving heroics tomorrow, anybody driving like a complete tw@t will be told where to go — enjoy the day and the roads but do so safely.

There will be at least two groups of cars separated by some time, we don't want to attract too much unwanted attention after all.

I have got route plans to hand out, there might not be enough if everyone turns up — I'll ask some locals to be at the front and rear of each group to avoid the visiting cars getting lost.

What a top day. Managed to keep up in my lowly RA and drove some brilliant roads.

Ty as always.

Sparkling weather, top roads, top company and by my estimates I used one tank of Momentum. Oh and got the driver right arm tan .

Az and the gang and for the commitment.

Fancy the winter run ?

What an awesome day out and great company as always, huge thanks to Ty for organising a superb route and for the map printing , Robbie for leading the way up to and over ranges, (Big Daz would of had a ball) I loved every second and safe to say the Prodrive settings done at Mototech along with the uprated drop links and ARB have got the car handling spot on, thanks to your good lady for the cakes today they were spot on and the weather for staying dry.
I wasn't sure if we had a plan to meet back up towards the end today so we followed Ian back to Merthyr over the Beacons before heading for home.
Last but not least thanks to all the boys for coming over the water and helping to make it a cracker, sorry I didn't get to speak to you all today.
Looking forward to seeing some pics of the day from our resident photographer later

Cracking drive out today, we'll organised as usual (nice one ty) and cracking weather.
Was pretty pleased with the car, geometry setup and new suspension seemed to be doing ok, and thought My standard pads done pretty well, can't have been trying hard enough lol
First proper drive of it in 7months so can't grumble.
Hope Az and the boys enjoyed, gutted we did get split up again towards the end but I think the traffic in Rhayader buggered things up a little bit, always a PITA with the daft system they have in the middle of town.
Great day, great company, and a great deal of V power burned lmfao

Many thanks for organising the day, route and the weather, Tyrone!!

Thanks to all for a superb turnout - especially the London guys who came all that way.

It was a spectacular sight and sound and the best workout I've had this week!!

I'm glad that she didn't TBH, some of the cakes end up with crash damage just going to Castle Combe so they would of ended up in a right state today and would not have been a happy bunny! I think she's just got used to it over the past 7 years or so and she always looks forward to seeing everyone.
I think your pretty much spot on there as that is how the car felt all day so another job ticked off the list
By the way, standard brake pads???
