The Triumph Dolomite Club - EzBoard Archive

Anyone up for a convoy for fun? Get our cars seen and noticed...<br>
<br>
How about a circular tour somewhere scenic; say mid Wales/Marches with various rendez-vous points so folk from a greater catchment area can join in/go home as appropriate? Breakfast in Brecon,<br>
Lunch at Rhayader, afternoon tea at Hay on Wye and overnight camping at Llantony Priory perhaps?<br>
<br>
Have to be after the next magazine perhaps so it will reach a greater audience...run up to Christmas perhaps?<br>
<br>
Interest or non-starter?

I'm up for it in principle Alan, just so long as it doesn't clash with the NEC (4th - 6th November) <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

I'd be up for it if I can find a 7 seater Dolomite.<br>
<br>
Or, maybe I should buy 1 more, she can drive one with two kids and I'll drive the other one with 2 more in!<br>
<br>
Splendid idea<br>

Sounds like fun - if the date's fit, I'll get up at 4.30 again one weekend!

Yer that sounds brilliant! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Mid Wales sounds good, theres nothing but country roads there <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Sounds like a good crack, as with everyone else depends on the date.

1979 Dolomite 1500<br>
1989 Mini 1340 Race Car<br>
1998 Fiat Bravo TD100</p><i></i>

Sounds like a laugh. I don't need a 7 seater, but we could still come in two cars just to add to the convoy. We got a few looks when we picked up the 1850 as I drove it home with Debra following in the sprint. Alternatively Scott, I could lend you one if you like. Of course Alun would need 7 adults in his family, all with driving licences!<br>

Hmm...interesting thought David, but I'd certainly need the fastest one if they were all to be in the same place at the same time!!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Anyway, Susie is the only one that takes an interest in Sprints (a marvellous birthday present from her was a home assembled 3d framed picture of a Sprint!) but having seen the state of her Micra it will be a long time before she drives a car of mine!

Thats an absolutely bang on idea !!! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/eek.gif ALT=":eek"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> however, my presence will be next year, we can make this annual cant we?? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> or hows about arranging regional runs to cater for those who would prefer to stay a little more local, say, within at least a maximum of 1 hour away from home at tow rope speed??? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... rassed.gif ALT=":o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... rassed.gif ALT=":o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Just kidding, but i bet im not the only one that thought it !!!

I'd have thought we could probably manage quarterly...especially if the regions take on the mantle and organise the different events. I'd suggest we need someone who knows the manor for each area to ensure it is varied and having good points of interest for the stops. I wouldn't envisage attending all, but equally not all would attend this one.<br>
<br>
I suggested Wales/Marches because I am fairly familiar with the area and with Staffs and Oxon groups nearby I don't want to remove their own opprtunities for their own areas. I also thought the S West and S Wales folk might take an interest too...

What about a round britain reliability run <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Or the TDC's very own Gumball rally <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>


<p></p><i></i>

I'll be up for it, as others have said, it depends on the dates of course.<br>
<br>
Can't think of anything better to do than blat around country lanes like a hooligan.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :evil --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /devil.gif ALT=":evil"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

<p></p><i></i>

I'm up for it.<br>
<br>
Pre 1978 cars are eligible for classic rallying next year too: Could be fun!

<p></p><i></i>

Breakfast in Brecon sounds good to me, say 9.00am, would have to leave my house around 8.45am <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
I'll be up for it.
