Sorry guys, can't make it that weekend, I'll keep an eye out for you though.
And what's all this about putting the cars away for the winter months? I know it's leaking at present but I hope my traveller will still be better than walking to work!

Will you be passing tredegar house again on this run. I'll probably do what I did on the april drive it day and meet up with you all in tredegar park car park. If thats ok of course. Sounds like a great day.
It'll be a good end to what was quite a short rally season this year, due to tredegar car show being moved to its eariler date.
Cant promise anything quite yet, but my parents might be bringing the Mk1 mini along too, for its maiden voyage, if its ready in time that is. Its cracking along at a pace at the moment and weve got a date to aim for, but time will tell.

This wednesday as in the 6th Oct? In the Barn at Llantrisant at 7:00pm. I'll try and be there, and if the weathers nice enough I might bring the pickup for a pootle too. She hasnt been on the new Church Village bypass yet. If it turns out to be a nasty evening weather wise, I'll bring the mile muncher (mazda 6).

Hi all
In the words of Gavin and Stacey, "Whats occuring" for Sunday, what are the arrangements for meet ups and routes etc, Do we all meet up at the transporter bridge at 12pm?
I believe Rob and I are meeting up in Morrisons in Rogerstone at 11:40, if anyone else wants to join us.

Hi Steve. I did a quick run thru last Tuesday. When we met you in April we met in Tredeger park. When I traveled the route last week It was murder getting out onto the SDR to Maesglass. So for those of you who want to meet around Newport then please meet on the "Docks" side of the Transporter Bridge. The bridge don't open for the public till 1pm but I have managed to organise a 1hour pass at Midday. So all the drivers/owners who's meeting at Newport can meet at the bridge we hope to get there around 12 ish. If you haven't had a route and can print one off. then please email/pm me and I will send one on to you.
See you all on Sunday.
Raymond.
