Don't mention the wea***r.

See you all at the Hundred House at around 10:00am for a start at 10:30am.
Don't forget your picnic lunch and a flask for the pit stop, everywhere is shut in Wales for the Bank Holiday!!

Sorry boys - broken car!

Took Gail to the valley this morning (a nice romantic run, 'cause she's working tomorrow). On the way back, had some fun for about 40 miles with a Norfolk Mustard Esprit - honours even, but my turbo exhaust manifold has separated from my stiffy and Stripey's sounding rather sporty and depositing hot vapours all round the engine bay at the moment.

If I get her sorted in the morning I'll catch up with you tomorrow.

Sy

Have fun - look at the picture gallery for some piccies.

It's P***ing down here, the weather man can't make his mind up either.

They're only supposed to be showers, but I can confirm the current deluge - it's stopping me getting Stripey out to tighten the outlet manifold up.

BBC reckons you'll be unlucky to get anything more than the odd shower, especially in mid-Wales where you're going..

The sun is now out and it's drying up :?

BBC weather says it will be nice, but if you look at the met office we are going to have sun, rain and thunder.

Think we will have to take a chance after looking at those photos of yours Sy.

Great day,

Thanks to Geoff for all his hard work, well worth a visit.

Fantastic roads for the Elan (not too good in an Esprit though :shock: )

Great route, Geoff. Perfect Elan roads.

Three SE, one S2 and a guest Esprit.

Prize for fastest erection (roof that is) goes to Carl. Prize for longest time without erection (running top down in heavy shower) goes to Rob.

Looking forward to the next time.
