I was behind you in blk s special with h/t was really close! ! Following mk3 on way home got lost found barrie on his own lost him. Great day

 

Was super fun down a few stretch's there.

I cut that video just before we left our marks on the Dales on the way up that twisty hill...

 

Yeah that was cool I think a few people left big ******* followed nice guy in white car with his girlfriend he was going wide and booting it great some good stretches after we got away from pushbikes

 

That was a pretty good outing, even though we never actually made it to Tan Hill! We got lost and drove through some village 3 times, I think they all thought we were having a laugh!
Lost, no phone signal, sat nav telling porkies:

5 of us ended up at a pub on the way back to Skipton, then we headed back, took in some pretty breathtaking scenery too.
Anyone hear how the guy in the green mk2 is?

Sounds like you where in our group.
We got there in the end!
No news on the green mk2, hopefully he's ok

 

MX5 Yorkshire dales run out. Near miss with tractor hauling manure.

I waited at the bottom of the hill for him to come down to avoid having him pass on a narrow bit of road, plus he was going like the clappers, obviously he didn't bother slowing down.

I do enjoy driving in the Dales! My first go at leading a group of cars, but it was OK with such a small group!!! It's a bit difficult trying to guage the speed to drive at, apologies if I was too fast or too slow on various bits of the drive.

Shame so many people got lost, other than it not being a day out with other MX5s, a Sunday in the Dales when it's dry, sunny, warm and not too busy is always going to be a good day.

Sorry to hear about the crash, Loren told me it was Richard involved. As much as it's a damaged car, I really hope it's not a damaged driver. We might lavish our cars with care & attention (or not) but they are, when all's said and done, just metal & plastic and replaceable, people aren't.

If anyone's interested I'll put a route together for another Dales run perhaps avoiding cycle routes and quite so many single lane roads.

 

Great day out...!! Favourite bit was booting it past the people with their fans having a moment of zen.... followed by approx 20 cars giving it large....classic
Hope will I think in the green mk2.5 is home safe. Wasn't pretty mate...air bag did it's job!

 

Yeah I was in the black mk1 with the black wheels, think we turned off at the wrong place again!

 

There was 67 Mx-5 and 1 Audi today great day today thank you all for making it a good day
Any news re the in green Mx-5 hope all ok
Thanks again

 

Despite getting massively lost, going over a mountain pass with its own gates to open and scooping up half the Yorkshire Dales i had a really good day! ????

I will sort some videos soon.

Pace was spot on I felt, bit of fun when it was visable clear and back off when it's not.. The sheer number of cyclists today made sure you where on your toes all the time.

The number of cars that turned up (Amazing) meant it was guaranteed we where going to fragment into smaller groups. Just glad I could keep up with the pack (this time)

I'm always up for a good run on either the Dales or my back yard again the Moors

 

Hi all. Thanks for your concern, it's appreciated, and thanks everybody for waiting with me, making me feel tonnes better.
Ended up in hospital in Durham, I've got 3 broken ligaments in my right foot, and otherwise fine. The driver of the other car was fine and his wife was taken in to hospital as she was quite shaken, though I was told that she was fine other than that.
Prior to that I had an amazing time with you all, so thanks again all, and I'm glad your day went ahead fine.

Havent posted for a while since I sold my mx5, was great to see all the mx5s out, I miss my mk2 (and the mk1 before it) but saw the accident aftermath today, couldnt figure out what had happened (and probably too early to start so I won't) and had to come on to see how the driver was, I passed on my bike and saw him wrapped up and thought the worst, glad to hear he's ok.

 

Thanks for the great drive today
