I think I missed all this as I was touring Scotland immediately after this years meet. (Or I've voted and forgotten!)
North Wales sounds a good option, but assuming I'm available I'd go to any of the suggested areas.

2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions, ski hatch retrofit; extended leather. Aftermarket DVB-T, reversing camera and full XCarlink (Bluetooth etc.).
2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Oh, and Stockport Audi have given me this for my "feedback" on their service..

Although I'm no longer officially eligible to vote (and I haven't done), my choice would certainly be North Wales followed by Derbyshire Dales!

Strange coincidence but I've been spending some time in mid and north wales driving customers and so have been kind of reccying for a possible north wales meet and some of the drives and venues.

I will try and firm this up in coming weeks and advise you all back
I hereby nominate Daviesbike and TinTin as my local deputies and will post them their silver stars shortly!

Where it is in wales we need to go here I think.



And here. Death Valley,


My mate said something about the A4120 and where B4343 merges into the B4574.
He's done a couple of tours round there for a BMW mag, apparently its 'epic'.

North Wales or Derbyshire for me, but then I am a selfish Mancunian residing by Wigan Pier.
