Maybe we look at a late spring thing for the weather.

Congrats...very nice.

What colour is that...mint green and titanium?

Correct. The A4069 Black Mountain Road. Epic stuff. If I can figure out how to unload some GoPro footage I will do so.

That is the western side of the Brecon Beacons I believe.

The roads in that second shot, b'jaysus...

Whereabouts in Wales were you?

Cheers,

Recent trip through Wales home for VRT friendly 30 day holiday.

Rob,
Ok, I’m in Weston super Mare. I’ll look to get involved next year when the weather improves
Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew

I’m in the Portishead area so should be fairly local to you. Just signed up to Nick’s Bristol WhatsApp group.

Cheers
Rob

Rob,
The Mendips are also my playground. Where are you located, I’m based in North Somerset.
Regards
Andrew

Beware of vehicles like Transit Vans with double rear wheels.
I was coming through a very narrow street in Liverpool City Centre some years back, when one came the other way.
I moved over as close as i could to the wall on my side, and it looked like he could squeeze past until I heard his rear wheel, more than felt it, touch my rear Dymag.
He probably didn't even know he'd touched me, and with no way to turn around, he disappeared into the maze of streets.
This is also the reason I would never ever have Dymags again, as that slight touch was enough to make the wheel un-repairable when I sent it back to Dymag themselves.
The wheel design is useless, with it sticking out proud of the tyre.
I sold the set of Dymags off cheap, as "Buy 3, get 1 Free", with full disclosure of the condition.

It helps being able to see the wheels though as you can quite easily place the car when you're used to it. The brake pedal is quite long which makes it quite difficult to heel and toe but the brakes start to really come alive when up to temperature

Yup - narrow roads with passing places and trying to squeeze past a Mercedes Sprinter coming the other way early on didn’t help. Will get used to it, just not in the next couple of weeks looking at the forecast….

Matt - I sent you a pm.
