Well, I could probably offer up another S (or a C5 RS), to introduce a bit more diversity (and colour!) to the mix... if it weren't for my aversion to 'pack' driving. It's not ended well for me in the past...

Pack drive is OK as long as strict rules are obeyed
No overtaking other pack drivers keep a good distance between cars and don't do idiotic overtakes

But saying that you always get one plonker that's just ignores these basic rules

Agreed. No-one should get caught up in any 'hero' driving because it always ends in one nasty expensive mess.

OK guys, serious question time: Do we do the Evo Triangle or not?

Plus, if anyone wants to help with the organisation of this, (Dougle Turbo is kindly helping me so far), then please shout and I will add you to the PM chain we have got going. Alternatively you can just post suggestions here.

All help will be much appreciated, as I never expected so much interest! Cheers :thumbs:

+1 to the hero driving. No sense and can all end up a horribly expensive stressful mess

If the farm house was a none starter if booked up being summer then somewhere like Llandudno would not be a bad place only about 30mins drive from snowdonia national park

Farm house is still under discussion. It's ridiculously cheap, but obviously being in the middle of Wales it's a bit, let's say, basic. And dated. But for less than £20 each for the night I don't think it's too bad. It is literally in the middle of nowhere so cars will be safe overnight. Anyone wanting more info I can send them a PM to get their thoughts on it. :thumb:

The problem we have is that we only want it for a night, and most decent places are at least two nights minimum. Doug said we should try to spread it over two days but I don't think people will have the time for that.

EDIT - Technically it is a hostel, which we would just book for the night. Sleeps 16 on individual beds, 8 in each room.

The list could be about to get a hell of a lot bigger! A few guys indicated interest earlier in the thread that aren't on the latest list, only another 19! lol.

I am sending out a PM to those now to confirm interest.

For some reason I can't reply to the message on tapatalk! I probably won't stay as I aren't that far away from wales (Richard by the way)
