That is all 16 seats taken. 

I could try and buy another compartment (£26) if we have another 4 who want to ride. As far as I can see they are only selling tickets for compartments not individuals.

Y0 @Sunny Jim do you know if the derelict garage near Llanrug still has the Horizon and Capri rotting away outside? Potential photography pilgrimage?

The Capri is still there, but I don't think the Samba was last time I drove past (2 weeks ago).  The Capri is a local landmark alone though ha ha

[Ghosty]

I might be going for a run to buy some rimz_yo on the Saturday in Abergele.

Haven't you got time to fix it?

It’s parts I am trying but AUTODOC will take a week. It’s ordered.

Yes, exhaustive list is written, escape is imminent!

[Six-cylinder]

My suitcase is now out and I am trying to remember what to put in it as I have not been away overnight since Jan 2020.

Car chosen based on weather forecast unless anybody buys it in the next two day.

If someone buys it at sf I'll give you a lift home/you can drive us home in my car 👍

[cms206]

I left home five days ago aiming to take home the @kirtonCup so if I've left owt behind I'm fucked 🤣

[brownnova]

All this advance planning… I haven’t even decided which car to take yet 😂

if medical had gone better id have been in copenhagen this week heading for llanberis

[davidfowler2000]

I too also am prepared.

The trailer lives at my parents' so I'm getting everything* ready tonight so I can take the car to work tomorrow and then go to theirs straight after. Stay the night and on Friday morning everything is there and set, good to go.

New water container for the trailer...

This one has a bung for the pump wire and hose to reduce spillage.

Also new cooler...

Old cool box was good but this one is betterer. Same power draw, MUCH more efficient and goes much colder. Mostly because it's actually a 12V compressor fridge rather than just a leccy cool box. Should run the full weekend off the leisure battery provided @Talbotdoesn't completely drain it using my inverter for AC charging duties. Currently mostly full of adult beverages. Skwerr sosij to be added before being traipsed to the car.

[Dave_Q]

Those 12v compressor fridges are awesome compared to an old fashioned coolbox, we've got one branded Frifer of all things but it stays mega cool on almost no juice.

Ah yes, thanks for the reminder 

[Sunny Jim]

Dug the BX out of hibernation and went for a spin to Llanrug.

No sign of the Talbot but the Capri and Mini are still there.

[83C]

Glad to see the old garage is still there, haven’t been through Llanrug for years.

[binhoker668]

Just wondering, is there a water tap on site?  Drinkable?

Indeed there is

[cms206]

I've got about a 30gal fresh water tank in the Volvo.

Typically the fucking fresh water pump is haemorraging water...

[beko1987]

Anyone want me to bring some bbq charcoal and firelighters with me? Zero want or need for it so if we're allowed fires I'm happy to give it to anyone who wants! Been kept dry but it's old

[Talbot]

Bring it along.  I'll bring an barbecue and it can be used by anyone who wants/needs it.  I also have some largeish charcoal bricks, but they'll need to be broken down a bit to fit.

Are @captain_70s and @320touring still maybes?

 

Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it but I hope you all have a great time and I look forward to lots of photos! 

[fatharris]

Super excited for this, spent a couple of hours planning the route that we're taking to capture as many decent driving/scenic roads as possible as soon as we breach Wales. Planning to capture Elan Valley, Naty y Moch and Pen Y Pass on the way up.

 

We've even got walkie-talkies so we can do convoying right

[twosmoke300]

" are you broken down again Harris ? Over"

"yeeesssss , over"

[AnthonyG]

As usual, Autoshite’s resident librarian has some car books and magazines to dispose of, I’ve had a bit of a clear out!

Mags will be free (apart from 1970s Cars & Car conversions, which will be 50p each), and some of the books. 

I’ll stick up a list of the books later on, staying with my folks on the Herefordshire/Brecon borders tonight.
