Show Us Your Motors!

The speedo design seems un-necesarily cack handed. But I guess you'd get used to it. 60 is 50 + two lines, 70 is one line below 75 etc.
 
Have fun I that beasty duke! Also red...nice. so good to see one that's not black or white.

I had to visit a customer in the north west for the last couple of days this week. Instead of coming straight home after finishing on Thursday, I thought I'd take the opportunity to nip over to north Wales and see if the roads lived up to the hype.

Christ....yes. They do. The weather was appalling, but the drive was astounding. Stunning scenery, absolutely epic roads, and hardly a bugger on them, even though it was a Bank Holiday. I must have driven 200 miles with a constant grin on my face.

Typical Welsh weather means I didn't really want to spend long outside the car taking photos, and the ones I did take are drab even my by amateur standards. But what the hell - enjoy.

And one accident of under exposure, but I thought it looked pretty cool, so kept it :)

Shame you missed the 4391, that's where the real greatness is out there. Evo triangle is garbage IMO, only one side of it is any good.

I'm sure there's lots more to see, but the idea was to head in the general direction of home over the course of the day. That said, I ended up getting home about mid afternoon, so I could probably have stayed and explored a bit more.

The Evo Triangle was fun, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did other, more technical/scenic roads later in the journey. I think it probably needs to be tackled at higher speed to get the most out of it. Though being so wide open and with great visibility I can see why it's enjoyable in someone much more powerful. At least I can say I've been now though.

What side did you prefer?

Bloody lovely to drive, literally didn't want to get out yesterday evening. Took a 15 mile round trip to Tesco, which is a 2 minute drive each way :p

A542 ( horse shoe pass ) is another great road, stop at the ponderosa cafe too.

Quoted for truth, from ponderosa I normally turn right out of the cafe, straight over the first roundabout and then follow that road all the way into a town, not sure of the name. Turn right at the roundabout with the big Tesco and follow those dual carriageways for a bit. First part is a bit windy for knee down attempts, then good dual carriageway straights afterwards :smashin:

EDIT: normally head to Ponderosa from Llangollen direction
