Yay! Can I drive just behind you 😂? Actually, in all seriousness I've been making a musical hypothesis about burble. Could I make sound recordings of your engine bay and exhaust tips? mat_the_cat 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I may possibly bring 2 cylinders, or 6... Or I could just disconnect an HT lead and run a 4 cyl car on three cylinders! Tim_E 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tim_E 3499 Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 11 hours ago, mat_the_cat said: Nope, not me - mine's only a 1.6. I know there's a V8 disguised as a 1.6 somewhere. However I don't mind actual 1.6s too. Ive nothing against 4 cylinder engines, at the moment the 2 must interesting out of three cars in our fleet are 4 cylinder. They both sound awesome and have hilariously different power characteristics! 10 hours ago, brownnova said: I may possibly bring 2 cylinders, or 6... Don't let me tell you what to bring but I'm really keen to see a 2cv. But I would be happy seeing anything you've got. Link to post Share on other sites

Tim_E 3499 Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 Ok we meet in a week. I'll probably phone the Chocolate shop to see if they will be serving refreshments. Let's hope for decent weather, but even if not I'm looking forward to meeting you all and exercising the Volvo. Bring a picnic, there's a nice place to stop on the Mig Neint road in an old quarry car park by a small lake. mat_the_cat and Sunny Jim 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Flat4 1202 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Very sadly not going to make this with work commitments and the V70's auto box taking a dislike to my caravan.... Neither the Fozzie or the Granvia would be ready by next week Tim_E 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tim_E 3499 Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 So there is a fishing cafe that might be open on the A5 near Cerrigudrudion, I've no idea if they will be open, but if after the run it's open and we're still hungry it might be nice. But we can figure this kind of stuff out on the fly. Link to post Share on other sites
hairnet 12099 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 conwy falls - theyre open today so likely open saturday rhug - might be full of bikers if weathers nice - been a long time since i was in there Link to post Share on other sites
mat_the_cat 10993 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Would there be interest in a set of On The Road magazines in binders, from the 70s? If so I can bring them along...buy me a drink and they're yours! Link to post Share on other sites

Convincing the kids to spend hours in a car to attend a little meet is tricky enough without nature's best efforts! What a change it has been this week after so many weeks of sunshine.

Currently any weekend is as good as any other for me. I fear I’m out — that’s a lovely part of the world but it’s a minimum 4 hour drive each way from here. As ever, the best way to get to North Wales is not to start in South Wales. Tim_E 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fumbler 3314 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Hmm... I don't particularly want to go through Birmingham and the distance is somehow greater than my journey home. The drive through Abergavenny, Brecon etc. is a nice drive though, but hard to justify the 4 hour drive each way Tim_E 1 Link to post Share on other sites
