the other day

Foel Tower behind(Elan)

Claerwen valley (as opposed to Elan)

A fantastic parts of the world, especially for driving roads.

This was a few years back and in someone else's (leased) mx.

Hello George, yeah, it's been a bit wet hasn't it! Still, it's great around here regardless, you need to be used to rain living in North Wales and we are blessed with some great driving roads as I'm sure you'll know from using the bike !

I'll keep a look out for your 5 as my partner and I run around in ours. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do ours. We've had it almost a year now and it's going for an MoT on Monday, fingers crossed !

A na'i trio codi llaw os da ni'n weld chdi !

Well i'm not the best Welsh speaking MX5 owner you may have come across Ro but i'll keep my eyes open for another Racing green 5 on my travels, the best (and fastest) colour of course.

 Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope. An amazing place and an amazing drive round the leafy lanes of Cheshire. Tomorrow, I am off to Blyton!

Thanks for the ride!

Yesterday but will the same today

MoD Woodbridge, Suffolk, on a Chelmsford MC Gymkhana - double driven, hard, the old Eunos never missed a beat!

Penrhyn Castle, Bangor, N Wales.

RAF Fairford for the free RIAT 2012 totally awesome flying display and no rain! Took the supercharged up, 230 mile round trip it returned 29.4 mpg (driven gentlyish) am happy with that 

 Dr, how did I miss you  went there as well (but cost me) didn't take the 5 though as family trip.......all in my brothers Vito. Did see 2 5's..........one behind the Vulcan tent & another, a silver Mk3 leaving as we were walking back to carparks. Got home about 7:30 & not a traffic queue either way.......although rain on way up.

Passed by another 5 near Bath junction 2 male occupants roof down

Wish I'd known taff, would have loved to have gone with you. If your doing anything similar in the future, please let me know.

Regards

Simon

Sorry Liz, Simon but it was very much a last minute decision to go, to be honest I hadn`t realised it was RIAT last weekend, I read this thread about a wonkey donkey early yesterday morning, got on google, woke Mrs Eunos and made up a pic-a-nic basket and flask, quick shower and we were away by 9am- rapid-deployment so to speak...... a bit of local knowledge of Fairford area came in handy and we parked up at a `park-and-view` field full of happy campers and stayed with the car for the whole afternoon, hence the `free airshow` with live commentary on 87.7fm we both have lovely T-shirt suntans

 I think £39 for an adult ticket ts a bit excessive really, especially in these times

Next time it would be great if western area organised a camping weekend and discounted entry tickets, similar to when we went to Dunsfold last year with the PlanetMX5 guys?

I spent the weekend at RIAT (I work there on base), one of the best seats in the house. Local camping sites were quagmires, cars and vans were having to be towed to their pitches, Sat' weather was a bit iffy.

Great setting, Git

Would love to go to RIAT - generally, one of the big shows
Last year, rain prevented much play at Cosford

This year, went to, porbably, one of the smallest shows - at Welshpool but got to see the Red Arrows and BBMF (sans Hurricane) and the Falcons dropped in.
All great stuff and it stayed dry

This Sunday just gone, SWMOC was back on the trail of the world of Soap Box Derbys
So, managed to get over to support the team and the region's gravity racer Mazdapiece.

90% glorious sunshine
10% deluge
Thankfully, the latter came at the end
And, we had a couple of blasts up part of the course along with suped Anglia, Caterham, Westfields, Minis, Bimis etc.
All good practise for Prescott

Not sure of the result but i believe da boys did well
