Who fancies a drive up into the Brecon Beacons on Sat 20th?

A couple of Coupe boys are coming over from some place called Engerland to visit Cardiff, so there will be 3 Coupe's to start with, but would be great to turn it into a meet of sorts.

Let me know, and I'll get things moving.

Anyone ??

Locals worried about the English invasion?

No. We are looking to having hostages !

Just trying to come up with a figure for the ransom.

Thanks for getting a meeting sorted. I live in Hereford and could easily meet up with you, but its Rallyday at Castle Coombe race track on the same day. I'm headed there as there's a 30 year celebration of the birth of the Metro 6R4 - the bestest sounding car ever made IMHO. I took my Vis to the King Of Cool car resto open day in Llandrindod today (check out pics in Face book, taken when after I'd left (!) and drooled over Integrales, an F430 and a proper Lancia Stratos. There is a meeting of Stratosess/Stratos'/Strati at the rally day too - 40 years since winning the rally championship. And they do sound fabulous too. Anyway. If you organise another, I'll try to be there

And so they should be.
I was told all them big holes in the Welsh castles were done by previous English visitors

Wish I was living closer to you guys.
Sounds like a great time out.
Have fun

Where are the English coupes leaving from. I know the roads in Wales are mega.

The "English" coupe guys are Arm and Boosted7 if you wanted to pm them for potential convoy.

bump

Maybe interested, depends wheir the convoys meeting up before heading over to sheep shagging land!! Hehehe
any chance you can fine out??

Would love to but I'm off the road until next year due to funds

I am up for this......Although my Coupe is up with JBT. I could attend in my GTV if it doesn't offend anyone.

GTV = Italian = Welcome. Thought TBH, everyone is welcome.

Convoy wise, send a PM to ARM and Boosted7. I think they are coming over from the M4 corridor rather than from Birmingham though. Just whizz down the M50 !

Joe from FCSS would be on your way though. If he comes.

PS, the "Welsh" Castles, were almost all built by the English in the first place.... to keep the Welsh in check.

Arm and I are actually heading down on the Friday evening, we'll be leaving from the Wokingham area and taking the M4

I believe "we" (the English) might have paid for the Welsh Assembly Building with perhaps the same purpose in mind!?!?!?!

Ha !

I live in Neath. Happy to meet anywhere really. Are we all meeting in one place? Or picking up people along the way? Will be nice to get out in the motor

Could well be up for this... It'll be nice to get out for a drive.

Will think of a rendezvous point at the start. Could start at Cardiff Bay for some photos, then head up into the Beacons?

Just found out from the Missus, we have something on this weekend. I still intend to meet although I will need to be back in Neath for 14:00hrs

Ok, mate. You can peal off the route back to Neath no trouble. We'll probably end up near the A465.

T

Got a route planned out.

Includes - Turin style drive through Cardiff City (couldn't get hold of a Police escort I'm afraid). Includes Cardiff Bay, Millennium stadium/Centre, Castle.

Brecon Beacons - including UKs oldest tree (cool right) lunch in a pub... awesome "Top Gear" style roads.

Then more driving to Penderyn Distillery for a look round... if we have time....then more twisty mountain road back to A470.

Those from the West can get the A465 home from Penderyn if tight for time.

Route ends near Merthyr, which has links back towards Midlands, either via A465 or M4 via A470.

Whatcha reckon???

UK's oldest tree, can't wait

Us Englanders will bring chainsaws to leave you instead with the UK's oldest pile of firewood.

Seriously, looks like a great day planned, thanks!

So, can we start totting up numbers so I sort out a table for lunch?

Confirmed:
Gripped + Mr G
Boosted7 + ?
Arm

Yet to confirm:
Bruce01?
Mrcheese?
Luke_H?
Stevo?
Brilly?
CountryCruising?

Arm + dog
Arm brother + plus

That just doesn't make sense.

I think he means that arm (Alan) will bring his dog along in his LE, and his brother (John) will come along in Alan's Plus. But I'm not sure if "dog" really means 4 legged friend or not.

I'd love to come along for a sort of Turin trip reunion, but I fear that family duties will get in the way

He has 2 Coupes. Of course.
