Evo Triangle Run 2nd November 2014

[MoleT-5R]

Back due to popular demand our usual run into the North Wales to enjoy some fantastic driving roads and the Evo Triangle. We'll aim to meet at about 11.30 at one of the 2 cafes nearby ( numbers will probably dictate which it will be ) We'll do some laps of the triangle and then if people wish we can do a nice run over to Ruthin and on to Llangollen over the horseshoe pass. more details over the next couple of weeks.

We'll look forward to seeing you again, don't think any of us need much of an excuse to drive those lovely roads again

[Biff]

I really really want to but mrs biff is due 01/11 so looks like it's game over for me for a while. :(

[MoleT-5R]

always next year mate, but if all is good and on time you could get a leave pass for a few hours, it's just next door to you mate ,so you might get a minute to yourself in all the maternity mayhem that goes on, just a little sanity check....idea???......lol

[Volvostorm]

Whoops, I can't make it, I'm at Shell Island that weekend

[iancho]

Thrilled to be going to this event for another year, many thanks must go to Adrian for allowing me to choose the date so it's possible for me to attend :)

A great all round event for those who have never been, Plenty of driving and chatting in between. Great to hear and see the other cars moving!

Plus I really do need a day of "Man Company" :)

[ExternalError]

I'll no doubt be going but wont confirm till closer to the date

Did Mrs O like the triangle and will she be having a ride around it in the T-10K at full chat when it is finished :)

I don't think she'd even be up to a run around in the green bitch at full chat...lol

[MoleT-5R]

I don't think she'd even be up to a run around in the green bitch at full chat...lol

I'm assuming that she had a ride on the zip wire ???

good to hear mate, have you got some better brakes this year ?....lol

[MoleT-5R]

Just thought I'd remind the Volvo peeps out there, that there is just over 2 weeks to go for those interested in are run out into the Welsh countryside and I feel a list is a good Idea, just to get a rough idea of numbers, so I know which cafe to use to gather at before the fun begins.

The usual suspects I see, is Jimbob coming ??? his green bitch must be due a run out by now (provided he's fitted a new driveshaft), Ian should be there as I know he's off that day, hopefully they and others will be adding their names to the list over the next few days

[iancho]

I'm still up for it!

No sign of James or Wobbly?

Would it be possible to meet at Colin's house like last year and Convoy up to the meet?

I cant make it unfortunatley but I'm hoping to see some of you later in the month at Cosford

[MoleT-5R]

Hi Folks, A few times for our planned trip out for 2/11/2014 trip to the Evo-Triangle run, were you will get to try your Volvo out on Evo car magazines test route around some scenic and challenging North Wales roads, of which a full lap is approximately 20 miles.

As per previous years as numbers look small enough to use the usual cafe :-

11.30-12.00 Meet-up at the Cafe on the A5 at Cerrigydrudion (on the brow next to what was the Saracens Head pub for those that remember it) for a coffee and bacon buttie for those that want it.

12.30-onwards set off on a runs of the route we then we could re-group and then set off as we wish and do a flying lap or gentle one at our own pace (what ever that may be). We could also run round the route the other way aswell if people wish and if people wish we could take the run to Ruthin and the on over the Horseshoe pass to pick up the A5 at Llangollen hopefully before dark.

we would probably gather a mile end oswestry for the run up in the morning at about 10.30, for those coming for in shropshire/midlands etc. so thats it folks, hope that has got you grabbing your diary and marking the date, see you soon.

Adrian

Bad news, I'm working late Saturday and early Monday, just a touch too far for us this time.

[dionbullock]

It was a good day! The rain was on/off which made the road conditions interesting to say the least! :D I have a couple of static photos i'll upload later!

[stephenevans99]

Had a brilliant day....proper 'rip snorting through the Welsh countryside' type of day. One of the Best :B_thumb:
