Great day out, Nice to actually meet Matt, and Phill and Andy, thoroughly enjoyed myself, shame I forgot to put the GoPro on for the first part of the run.

SNAP!!!!! Got the pass bit though

Come on than hurry up with the video's

Gives you an idea of the beauty of LLANGYNIDER and a feel for the roads which were a little too crowded at times. How to turn a GTS round in a tight space too

Cheers guys a bit of a monumental round trip for me a mere 378 miles covered. Got 325 of those from one tank.

Muppet, nice 164, enjoyed looking round that and Nik, still can't believed what you paid for that SW.

Roof went back up at Winchester, it was brass monkies!

Awesome day guys... had a blast!
The two Masers sounded epic.... I was fortunate to be in your convoy for most of the day!
I was wincing following you on that single track mind.... I think my engine undertray is going to need some patching up!

Matt good to see the spider in the metal too - looks great. I only used half a tank - 37 litres today from Weston!

My Pirelli's also had limited grip today with a couple of moments

here's my shot of the day - I'll try to edit some GoPro stuff as well

Sounds like you had a blast....thats a lot of miles Matt but worth it im sure

jasst · Jan 3, 2017

Think I did about 250miles, and that was over a tankfull, and the Maser has a big tank!

conaero · Jan 3, 2017

James did those blisters go back down again, that was odd.

jasst · Jan 3, 2017

No, still there, have a vague recollection of them appearing in the summer, but cant be sure, will take it to my paint guy for his opinion.

Looks like a nice run - sad not to have made it, but was stuck in Devon.
Good to see the sheep were well trained.
Always a bit disconcerting to see a white & chevrons van and a yellow jacket at the side of the road....

They all bricked it when they saw it, for me it was too late, but fortunately it had Electra or something on the side....some sort of utilities vehicle thankfully

I saw him but was only doing like 50 at that point so not an issue.

jasst · Jan 4, 2017

I didn't even see him! lol

Washed all the welsh salt off yesterday and gave the paintwork a thorough inspection with magnifying glass, and have come to the conclusion that area has been re-sprayed at some time, so looks like it will be off to the paint shop at some time, cant see any signs of damage internally, so hopefully was just a scratch that was repaired, but will wait to see what the body shop say

Yes, did mine yesterday, 375 miles of salt. I waxed her first so it came off easy.

The 32/42's rust in the leading edge of the rear wheel arches and below the rear lights so this is probably why its been painted. Your colour is a 2 stage pearl so you need to get someone who knows what they are doing or the match will be terrible. The paint to be used should only be: PPG NEXUS range, the NEXUS being the 2 stage pearl bit.

I cleaned mine on Tuesday after picking up the wheels!

Here my short GoPro clip up the hill

Contigo · Jan 5, 2017

I haven't rinsed mine off yet as it is going the spray shop next week anyway.

Andyk · Jan 6, 2017

That was one dirty front end you have Phil......Even I didn't relish the thought of tackling it and I love cleaning cars.....good call on getting someone else to sort.
