Friends around Manchester (Circular convoy run )Sept 6

[David Dixon]

Bumped this over from the main forum/north west section. Anybody going interested in convoying over from North Wales along A55/M56/ Possible collection points in central/northeast Wales/west Cheshire could include St. Asaph, Northop, Deeside Industrail Park BP garage, Hapsford Services. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17026

I'm definitely attending this.

Depending on location, I *may* be coming from the other direction, but if so we could meet up to form our own "Welsh Regiment"

[David Dixon]

Also MGCC race day Oulton Park so I may also be in the other direction.

Cant see how we couldnt make a full day of MG action for this...

Oulton Park then the FRM?

Speaking of Oulton Park...I guess you've been over the border and saw the post about tomorrow?

I have, Iam torn, really torn on what to do. Despite taxing the Trophy at beginning of April and apart from the MOT I haven't got out in it. The weather has been just...well worse than typical North Wales. That's what you get livin' up in the hills! I've still yet to hear the TT Exhaust in anger I put on way back when. Anyways I really want to get some 'tinkering' time in on it...and then there's the FA Cup Final which kinda nails it for a stay at home day tomorrow (especially liking the idea Hull can do what Wigan did last season, and to a London team!). Thanx for the reminder though, David

Better to Tax it and not use it, than not tax it and not be able to use it when you want to

Not long now folks - maybe a meet up on the way into Manchester if you fancy it?

[David Dixon]

From what I recall the original location and timings were changed making it touch and go whether I would make it. Just had a quick look but can't find anything that details what is happening.

Check the .org thread, "Countdown to FRM" - it has some updated details.

Im up for the Oulton Park / FRM combo if SWMBO can be convinced..... Are any of you staying overnight?

[David Dixon]

Thanx, found it. Decided I am not likely to make it with the earlier time and meeting point further away. Still pondering Oulton Park, though it is also the Vale of Clwyd Classic rally, and MGCC Sprint on Anglesey, (which is also taking place on Sunday 7th).
