Hi Dave,
It's OK - We're from Widnes!
Thanks for posting your pic - I think I saw you in Victoria park on Sunday - Have you got a rather unique power outlet mod on your center console?
;)

Just checked the weather for Sunday and it's looking like clear sunny skies - turning out to be a great day for our little run :)

I would like to join in the Ponderosa fun Sunday morning so if anybody is heading through Ruthin and wants to hook up, that would be great.

Hi Ray, Well if you fancy heading over in convoy that would be great, Tesco's car park, Ruthin seems an obvious location to meet, I'll be there for 9.45am (as the pic suggests yellow F Trophy). David

Great news!
Even more joining us - and to think this started out as possibly about 4 or 5 cars going for a coffee :o
Well, someone did say "the more the merrier!"

Might be an idea for name badges?

It's all coming together nicely - Really looking forward to this now - Should be a blast!

Hi Rich, yes modded the clock (which never worked) filed it in the bin, changed it to an auxiliary power outlet for my sat nav, means i don't have wires from my parking brake up to my screen.

Please note that if you have 12 or more cars following the same route on an organised run, you may be subject to road regulations and might need an MSA Certificate of Excemption. Contact Simon your regional rep for more details.

No no no...this is NOT an official MG NW area event, so dont contact me to arrange MSA approval. It is being organised by a group of friends who all happen to be driving a selection of MGs who fancy a bit of breakfast/elevenses and are meeting at a cafe in the hills of North Wales.....and as the event is happening entirely in North Wales, maybe Nigel is responsible if anyone has to be!! ( But then... since when could Nigel ever be said to be responsible :lol: :lol: :lol: )

As said, it's not in any way shape or form anything like an official run - just a group of us ending up in the same place for a cuppa.
Even if we all turn up, there's only about 7 of us anyway!

If more do turn up, we'll just allow some 'interlopers' between any convoy to break things up a bit ;)
:P


Getting back on track - are we all ready for tomorrow?
I've been busy today...

And I've got route maps printed out and a couple of little presents for all attendees ;)

Really looking forward to it now :thumbsu:

It has been a gorgeous afternoon here in Cyffylliog, near Ruthin so looking like a repeat for tomorrow. I would think the roads will be busy with bikes and cars tomorrow.

I know I am not in North West area but would have loved to join in on this, however my MGTF is part stripped in garage. :( I was planning to make the Ponderosa one of my first destinations when back on the road. If I can change previous arrangements might just turn up in my Skoda!! just to drool over your cars. Allen.
