How are you supposed to keep 60mph in that Porsche? It goes 50 then 75

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.

There we go. Fixed. Had an update to my phone and it's destroyed predictive text!
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.

Evo Triangle
Nant Gwynant Valley
And one accident of under exposure, but I thought it looked pretty cool, so kept it

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?

nice!
I think we should organise an OCUK road-trip day kinda thing.
Wales + sunny weekend + good drive sounds epic from my pov.
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

Until a week or so ago I was very much an Estoril Blue guy, then I saw a 3 series in white with black grills on auto trader, and it looked incredible. So, that's what I'm going to go for
and when I went to see it, it looked epic anyway
