DATE:
SUNDAY 21ST SEPTEMBER

PROPOSED ROUTE:
A55 TO ST ASAPH, A525 TO DENBIGH, B4501 TO THE MOORS OVER THE 'EVO TRIANGLE' DOWN TO A5 - A5104 TO HORSESHOE PASS LLANGOLLEN. LUNCH STOP AT 'GREASY SPOON CAFE' AT THE 'PEAK' THEN DOWN TO LLANGOLLEN A542, BACK ALONG A5 TOWARDS BETWS/CONWY

Obviously for some of you, it may be easier to meet us on route somewhere. Let me know if anyone does want to meet on route and where.

The invitation is open to all TVR drivers, but many of us in the North Wales Region, including myself (a 5L Chimaera driver) are keen to 'upgrade' / aspire to a Tuscan and would like to meet with a 'Tuscan Owner', who lives with the car everyday, as there are some real horror stories in the forums.

Our region has a selection of various models but not a Tuscan in sight!!

You could always meet us near Llangollen, which is only 20/30minutes from Chester, or even better still come down to Conwy, but be prepared to be swamped by Tuscan fans!!

e-mail me if you want more details (map etc).

Hope to see you Sunday,

S.

Excellent run out today, once we got passed the no 51! That B road scared the life out of me but it was great fun. Thanks for letting me tag along, it was good to meet you and maybe next time you'll have a few tuscans of your own.

Hi Jane,

No thank you for gracing us with the presence of TIVER - it has to be one of the nicest colour combinations there is - were all still talking about it now.

There are 2 sides to that particular B road (Evo Triangle) the second part is even quicker - always safe though.

Your welcomed to join us anytime. As far as our Tuscans are concerned I think there are a few of us already putting in some overtime, including me!!

Once again a big thanks.

Simon

Like other members of the north Wales region, I tend to always have the digie camera with me, but for some unknown reason we all decided to leave it at home - Uh!!

Make sure we've got some for the next one!!

Simon,

Couldn't make the run on 21st or the visit from the Staffs region the other weekend, but I'm hoping to see you at either your Nov or Dec meets. Do you still met on the first Sunday at the leisure centre you have listed in Sprint...

Don't know whether the other Tusc rolled up from Staffs, there's only usually two of us, one Crystal Topaz and mine, a Grigio Titanio one...

Cheers

All meets are on the first Sunday of each month at Langleys Leisure Club in Conwy at 3pm (not 12pm as it lists in Sprint)

The meets are as follows;

Sunday 5th October (this Sunday)
Sunday 2nd November
Sunday 7th December

Map and directions are available on request.

We had 2 Tuscans join us last week for the run out to Llangollen, but they were from Stoke and Stockport. If you do decide to come down, I can provide you with an excellent route (via the Evo Triangle).

Hope to see you at one of the meets.

From Bristol you have a few choices either;

Route A - Fast Route) M5 > M6 (Birmingham)
M6 > M54 (Telford)
M54 > A5 down to Llangollen
A5 to Betws-y-Coed
A470 > Conwy


Route B - Scenic, country lanes) M5 > Junction 11 A40 Ross-on-Wye
A49 to Hereford / Shrewsbury
A5 > Llangollen
A5 to Betws-y-Coed
A470 > Conwy


Join the A55 at Llandudno Junction towards Conwy. After you have gone through the Conwy Tunnel, take the first possible right off the A55.
At the T junction do a right, followed by the first possible left, 100 yards on the right hand side is langleys Leisure Club.

Hope to see you Sunday

Simon, any idea on what the turnout is going to be?

I could possibly arrange to bring our Tuscan and T350C as well if you think it'd go down well...

It would be great to meet some other TVR drivers. I can certainly say that the Tuscan and the T350 would go down very well indeed. We have a lot of TVR owners in the group, including myself who have the Tuscan on the wish list.

It will great if you can make it.
