Yes I am sure the Jaguar and Escort Cosworth you missed by mm's were really impressed by your driving 'prowess' .

At least you make my driving look good.

Looks like everyone had a great day, I did for sure

Many many thanks to all from the MWS section for your organising, a great job

Great news that £400 was raised for such a good cause, well done everyone

I think it was well worth bringing the date forward as we did, at least we got a very reasonable day considering what the weather has been like of late

Thanks everyone for making it a great day I see no reason why we should not continue this annual event so roll on "The Big Welsh Meet 2010"

Enjoyed the run up and the day, but the run home was some thing else, mountain road (through the old mine workings) from the dams to devils bridge, the a quiet run into aberystwyth for a icecream and give the car chance to cool down, then off again, down the coast road turning left at the what was known as the forge garage heading for tregaron, were we stopped for a long cold ice water, then for the highlite of the day a north - south run of the Aber Gwesan pass (no idea how to spell) even the wife to be had a go at reading my notes from the MN/Roadrally days, probelly the slowest I have ever done that selective, but boy did it bring back the memories, (got to find room for a escort in the garage), then a steady run home to allow both the car a the occupunts to recover.

Ps, Next time glen its a must...............

Wise move that but well done nonetheless , I got stuck behind that Jag, Cosworth and Honda until I got past them until we were about 1 mile from Brynamman. I am sure the Cosworth was deliberately blocking the road , but he sure moved out of the way when the two flat fours went past him.

When my car was in 'standard form' so did I and I got left for dead, I hope it would be a little less one sided the next time.

Guys,

I'd appreciate it you could load up any pic's on the Elan Valley meet thread on Sidc

Big Welsh Meet 2009 @ Elan Dams Mid Wales - Subaru Impreza Drivers Club


Cristal Tips,

Is it possible to E mail a selection of high res pic's as I would like to do a little piece in True grip.

Can you also mail the ones you have of my Type R for my own use.

Many thanks

Well an excellent turnout as always to a good dayout . Lots of good photo's on show.

A big thankyou to Richy and the MWS for organising such a good event and raising a nice amount for Charity.

Also after a nice steady drive up, one or 2 of us had a what I'd call a light spirited drive home.

I for one cant wait for next year.

Cheers for all the thanks guys, I will pass it onto the rest of the MWS members that helped out...

I am really glad you all had a great day and seeing the photos just makes me want to do it all over again!

We have got the Wales Air Ambulance cheque handover a week on Saturday, so I will get some pics up once that is done! Many thanks again for everyone digging deep and supporting this great cause!

I look forward to seeing and article in True Grip Kev...
