Good to see you posting pictures of your very own VX I remember that "new" feeling with fondness I was too busy grazing my knuckles to be out enjoying a drive like that... next weekend though

[JG]

a mere 350 miles today, I think it might need a rest over the next couple of days, and a clean (which i still haven't got round too yet)

[nakajima]

top car JG, great roads too. good to see you have your very own

[iceman]

my favourate thing that, getting lost ..well, not exactly 'lost' (cuz it's an island like) more, not anywhere 'planned' just head in the general direction of somewhere with good roads and see if you can get the open twisties to join-up ..you can stumble across some great back-roads that way.. i don't like to be thinking of which left/right turn to take or if it's the right direction even.. the less interference the better

This is a bit sad..... but i know that road its from Cefn crew (Brecon beacons) to Hirwaun ....Am i right If you were in swansea mate ya should of popped in for a beer

Richy, um i don't know which road it is. I'll try and explain tho: As you come from Brecon back to Mertyr Tidvil (sp??) Over the hill, just after the top reservoir there is a right hand turn to Caslte Neath or something, Anyway i thought that it would be a good idea to go that way to get back to bridgend, but it wasn't. That is a truly great road, but i had a couple of moments with suicidal sheep , big scares. great drive all in all James

[jules_s]

Am i right in saying weve driven that one R1CHY, Ad172 ??

[ianrm]

Nice to hear you are enjoying yourself in the VX Could you send some of those roads to Bedfordshire please Oh and nice to see the avatar has changed at last although the piccie is a little dark.

[JG]

Ianrm, i'll try and get some better pics tomorrow after cleaning, although i think i have a slow puncture, so will have to get that fixed first. It's not all plain sailling this vx ownership lark is it? But the car is so great, we are getting along just fine. until the next thing happens.

You really wouldn't want to get it wrong and go off the edge, That thought always slows me down a little.

Matt J and I were pretty much on the Limit going through it on last Wales run .......... (so was Adam)

The sheep are mental over there, and often commit suicide on the front of your car so be carefull

Tooooooooooop road......................! You are right about the sheep though!

You fellas were gone. Fair play to R1CHY for keeping up with BuzzLight Year in his CS2.

I do think that local knowledge had a bit to play with it though!!

It all down to beingand not touching the brakes

The last pic should be in the short list for the 2006 Calendar. Fantastic roads and not a Gatso in sight, amazing!! JJ

If I remember rightly, I was behind on that road - just checking out the competition. Had my geo set up at Plans - so it's proper quick now, although my baby is spending time at my local dealer at the moment - got some nasty fluid leaking form the gearbox area Looking forward to karting tho....
