Road trip in Wales
Heres some of the pics I took on my massive 865 mile road trip through Wales. It started off as a 100 mile drive around the Brecons but steadily grew as the weather tand the roads were so good. The car never skipt a beat even after all the abuse it was given and only needed a tiny bit of oil yesterday afternoon. Even with leaking shocks it still handled really well with the Toyo Proxeys gripping like poo to a blanket!
Map of day 1.

The first half of day one I was driving with Martin off of FFOC which always makes it more interesting. Highlights of the day included the A4069 black mountain road and the B4520 to Builth Wellis. The very best bit was me chasing a bmw 5 series along a B road from Rhyader up to Commins Coch. Never had so much fun driving a car chucking it over crests and cutting corners :angel_not:
Stop on the A470 for Bacon and Egg bap
On the A4069 Black Mountain road that Top Gear and Evo magazine use!
Guess the car
BnB for the Night, the Foelas Arms in Pentrefolas. Cheap but clean and comfy, plus its on the bottom left corner of the Evo Triangle.

Day two was another great day on the road exploring around the stunning scenery of Snowdonia and the Elan Valley. The day started with a few laps of the Evo triangle which is every petrol heads dream playground. Wide open corners with wide open countryside so you can see what's coming and cut the bends. Spent an hour and a half there before and scamra vans came along.
Evo Triangle
Reservoir in the middle of the triangle.
Sheep
The stunning scenery of Snowdonia. Wish I could have spent longer there but time was getting on.
Elan Valley
And finally found these weird prints on the back of my car when we was in Llandovery :unsure:
All the rest of the pics... yes theres more can be found here.
Cheers
