I've attended this for the past two years and it's a great drive. Not for the speed merchants as the main entrants are historical car. It's just a fun drive through Pembrokeshire starting at Milford Haven Marina and ending at Tenby.



This year there are over 500 entrants!!!!

You can 'book in' on the day 2nd September

A nice variety of cars, from early 1900's right through to 56 plates, combined with a pleasant atmosphere made a change from the usual one make static events i normaly attend.

Did not see your tvr richo, but with over 500 entries i'm not suprised.

Both the atoms looked good together and seemed to draw the most attention (i was behind you when we left milford)

Hi Andy

Were you in the black V6 Clio?

We decided to follow a father & son duo who were on their 8th Pembroke run - they got lost and so did we smile Great fun though.

The attention this run attracts is quite awesome!

The clio v6 belongs to one of my mates and his wife, i was in the blue focus st170 behind him.

I did not realise at first that we had gone the wrong way, luckily martin in the clio did so we turned round only to see you and a few others go in a totaly different direction.

My wife actually said she expected it to be a boring day but is now looking forward to next year, and my youngest daughter did not stop waving to people for the entire journeywavey

I had a great day. I cannot get over how the entire route is lined with people. My arm ached from all that waving.
