Smacs to Wales November 11th

cw42 · 29 September 2007, 15:09

When we first got together as a "group" (there were 4 of us

) we used to meet, chat for a while, then go for a brilliant drive through the countryside. We'd then pause at a pub somewhere, have a coke, then drive home, and it was good

Then, as members came and went, and the club grew and grew, the drives out got fewer and fewer. Until where we're at now. Our last drive out as a club was back in June, albeit on our favourite roads in Wales, but nearly 15 weeks ago!
Clearly something is amiss, and I aim to put that right

So, starting with this run on the 11th November, I aim to organise and run a drive out at least once a month over the winter period. We'll start where we know best, and where the roads are the best as well, in North Wales. This will be an early start, newbies will be more than welcome, and the pace will be moderate.
If you have a two way radio, bring it, as we have used them extensively in the past to communicate directions/hazards/getting lost

Turn up at the start location with a full tank of fuel, and if you're bringing a partner, ensure they are used to a brisk pace before you come on a group run.
We're starting in Wales, however, over the coming months we'll be visiting Derbyshire, Cheshire, Yorkshire and Cumbria. I'll post further details of the route and start time on our private forum on Amita. If you're a member of smacs and don't have access, then pm or email me via my profile, and I'll sort out access once I've met you in person.
Some photos from previous drives:

Does this mean you are getting a new one or repairing the old one.

I'd like to tag along on this one, if that's okay? Really enjoyed the Evo Triangle run out last year.

Lee

cw42 · 30 September 2007, 19:09

Lee, could you remind me who you are, as I've not got you down as a member

codie247 · 30 September 2007, 21:43

Sorry mate must have misread the newbie bit, didn't know you had to already be a member to go on this one. Not been able to make Thurs nights since that run so this would have been my second meet.

Lee

cw42 · 30 September 2007, 23:35

I've found you Lee

On the last run of last year

So, which was your car then:

You're more than welcome bud, can you pm me some details and I'll get you access to our private forum so you can join in.
real name
username (duh)
moby number
email address
town where you live
and an image of your car for the members gallery

Cheers, and hope to see you soon,

Looks like Lee's bang in the middle, he has a silver STI and met up with us at the shell station last year, same as me.

Should be around for this. Will endeavour to keep the diary free.

I'll also be organising a smaller run into the hills and onto the plains of Cheshire soon but details will be posted later on a new thread.

Beefy · 03 October 2007, 08:31

Yeah CW early is pre 6am normally.

cw42 · 03 October 2007, 08:43
