Talking

The meet will take place on the 8th October at the 'Tynant' Pub/Inn.
Directions are as follows:
Turn off the M4 at Junction 32, and take the turn off for Merthyr Tydfil(A470)+Tongwynlais (A4054). Once travelling on the A470 take the turn off for Castell Coch (local monument) and Morganstown and Radyr (B4262). As soon as you take this turn off the slip road leads to a roundabout, take the 1st left towards Radyr which then leads to another roundabout, again take the 1st left towards Radyr (B4262). Follow the road through and you'll pass Pughs Garden Centre on the left, a bit further on nearly opposite you'll find the tynant inn on your right. (from the j32 to the inn takes about 5 mins total, its pretty straight forward)
The meet will consist of meeting at inn, food and drink there, then a
convoy to the Beacons where we'll undertake another stop)
ps A big sorry to Nick and Bob (see your e-mail)
Hope to see you all there
Chris

Nick, Bob and Myself are meeting at the old Aust services on the M48 at about 11.15 - 11.30 to convoy over the bridge to the meet. Anyone wanting to tag along with us, are most welcome.
See you Sunday Chris.

Steve,
As far as I know quite a few, the majority have contacted me via e-mail over the past couple of weeks,
Some of the cars there will be my STi, Pauls RB5, and Chip's (geoffs)UK scooby, but i've counted a total of 17 e-mails from WALES notifying me they'll be there....so should be good.
See you there steve
Cheers
Chris

Chris,

As Nick says, excellent meet, thanks.
We found an excellent road on the way home, down to Abergavenny then along some lovely twisting B road to Chepstow. To top it all - I've just bumped the front bumper putting the car into the garage !

Nick, Glad to hear you've found that Whooshing come rustling noise you had !!

Bob, Is your call sign "Maveric"?

Maybe see some of you guys at the Exmoor drive on the 12th November ?

Steve & Jackie

Bob,

Did you ever see the film "Top gun" ?

Your car sounded like an F1 with afterburners "on" as you went past us!

Cool

Bob,
Like the de-cat sound!, removing the only remaining cat next week and having an under bonnet boost gauge adjuster fitted...oh, perhaps some real tyres.....what were you running on?
Anyway watched the video when we got back home and found it contained you pushing Paul and your car sounding like a dragster, I thought my exhaust was load,
....see you on 12th

**** Stirring Bob, Madbob, and now Maverick.
Can I get the F111 folding wings as an extra?


Chris/
If you are coming down to Exmoor any chance of a copy of the tape. (Will pay all cost)

Tyres. I was running on a bold set of SO2's with no shoulders. felt the car twiching on a few bends on the way home. After running the tyres at Abingdon I should have changed them, but I just love running on bold tyres.
