Default Wales Road Trip

Visited an area I'd not been to before on a drive with some friends this weekend. The drive proper started from Builth Wells, then heading west towards Aberystwyth and looping back east via Tregaron. Weather was typically Welsh, but a good drive none the less.

A 505 mile round trip.

You might recognise some of the roads used by EVO magazine.

Cars were, M Roadster, 130i, E30 325 Touring, and an MX5.

Here's some pics

The line up




Little and Large






















Came across a vintage car rally










Got a bit of hassle from some tit in an M5, hanging off my bumper, fog lights ablazing (I was only 10 miles from home and just cruising at this stage). I just let the foggot past and allowed him to continue his Schumacher fantasy

Nice to see the relaxed mix of motors involved. Great pics - really enjoyed looking at them - pics 8 and 13 particularly cool IMO. Good job Dave
