Xmas/New Year Run Out
As some of you know in the past we have had a Xmas/New Year Run Out.
I think it's time to resurrect it and get in some roads that are normally closed
.
Normally the drive out takes place between the 27th and 31st Dec.
So, here's my choice:-
1. The Trooper 1815 - any day between the 27th and 31st
.

Sounds good Ian, dosent look like I'll be taking the car off the road for the winter now after all! I won't put my name down just yet, until you decide an exact date, and I'll try my best to make it, work permitting. Knowing my luck I'll have burst pipes galore and broken down boilers!
Cheers Cap'n ,

I am up for this, the car should be a little more 'improved' by then.
The 29th or 30th would be best for me as I am working on the 27th, 28th and 31st.

I could be up for this as soon as a date is decided. The car needs a proper test run and I don't think I have missed a Christmas run yet!! Interesting weather and quiet roads.....bliss!!
I may ask a couple of boys to tag along as well if thats ok with everyone else? Civic Type-R and 180TT so they may need to go at the back

Free bump.
I can do the 29th or 30th since it seems to suit everyone else. Any update on plans?

It's looking a 99.99% certainty that I won't be able to make this run as my new turbo hasn't arrived yet plus my Simtek has been sent up away for the Alcatek upgrades to be carried out.
There are other jobs which I'm having done as well, plus it'll be going down to Enginetuner for the mapping to be done.
However the Cooper D might make an appearance.

Have we got a definite date yet? Is it the Abergavenny / Brecon route? I hope so, had lots of practise on this route the last 2 weeks!

Me & Dave will be there on the 30th.
The Wagon needs a good run and the new suspension hasn't had a proper test yet around the twisties.
Any news of meeting time yet?
