Midlands to Wales Info 22nd may (£5 for Charity)

I am organizing the midlands to Wales on Sunday 22nd may 2011

Last year had about 25 cars that came on the drive

The drive is for ford models first produced before 1980

The cost £5 per car which goes to charity

The run will start at Telford services (TF11 8TG) junction 4 of the m54 leaving at 10am so you need to aim to be there before 9:30. We will then drive to the Ponderosa cafe on the Horseshoe Pass Llangollen (LL20 8DR). After arriving we will stay for about an hour to give you chance to get a bite to eat from the cafe that sells hot and cold food and drinks. From here Aled will be taking us on a arranged route through some of the fantastic roads of North Wales. Will update this when he has confirmed route. We will the return to ponderosa cafe late afternoon where people last year had a last look round cars and chat before leaving.

These are the directions from Telford services to ponderosa cafe which i will print off for the day.

Make that one V8 mk1 escort for us

Going from 3.5 to a 3.9 next week, sort the oil leak out, and give us a bit more grunt Even able to get it to a 5.0L with minor work, but 3.5 was enough already

Hey Tom, if you want a later block ( no rope seal) i've got a spare 3.5 range rover block if you get stuck

We've got one now m8, well will do this weekend

Later block, 3.9 aswell Works out £400 for the engine, and £200 to fit it, which still works out better than the £1200 we got quoted to do the same thing

But thanks anyway m8

Not planned our year as yet, but I estimate 10 or more from Wales

Sounds good to me aled the more the

Merrier
