Smashing pic, remember seeing it last year now. The road from Hirwaun to the A470 is just that bit wilder and quieter than the A470 itself. It joins the 470 just south of Storey Arms, IIRC. Will probably be covered in snow on the 12th I loved that drive back in 2005, If you look to the far left, My rare beast came out to party that day Nissan Pulsar GTIR, Very thin on the ground these days, But the roads were perfect for its 4 wheel drive, Can't wait for this one, Big-up to you all for sorting a decent route in such quick time!

Jonscoupe. Do you think we need to book at the Lamb and flag or is it big enough to cope if we just turn up, it being a Sunday lunchtime and all that?

Not long to go now. I've printed off a route plan - done 15 copies. Is that enough? Magor M4 -> jnct 32, N on A470 to Merthyr, West on A465 to Hirwaun, Hirw to A470 Storey Arms. Down to Brecon, A40 to Abergavenny, but, if time, detour from Bwlch, to Llangynidr, mountain road towards Beaufort, turn off down to LLangattock, A40 on to pub 90 miles - 2hrs 10 according to AA route planner. Is this ok with everyone??!! My Coupe is roadworthy, and is ticking over already from now til then to make sure it will start on the Sunday

My back box fell off mid re-map so I replaced with a straight pipe as a temporary fix but it actually sounds really good!
Might leave it like it.

Yes - Get that MOT tester getting it legal ASAP! I have changed Coil springs a few times, With the right tools its not hard, Did you have the car MOT'd & then they discover the broken spring? Is it ONLY the spring failing the cars MOT? Do you have a plan B? another car, or shotgun with one of us perhaps? I have had the Paint corrected, Fitting the decat monday - Which I know will sound epic with the Scorpian system,. I cant wait too

Took mine for a spin on Friday. Quick test run before the bigger spin on 12th. Glad to report she's running well but after stopping off for a bite to eat, got back in the car and prepared for e 30 mile trip home. She started fine but The red injector light problem has returned This meant she was running on 4 cylinders for a while but the 5th one came back to life after a few miles and the injector light went out. Think I might need to look at that before next weekend. Hope it's a cheap fix.
