Epic few days. Lots of great driving, really bonded even more with the car after all these years, great company, banter and giggles.

We should definitely make this an annual trip.

Feel very lucky to knock about with you lot.

Awesome time with the guys and gals in Wales. Great driving roads. Way too much Champagne on Tuesday night. I can't keep up with Kirsty!! Good fun with the shooters. Agree Ian, have to make this an annual occasion. :thumbs:

I thought Shane, Barry and staff served us very well over the weekend but couldn't keep the Champers flowing fast enough on the first night. ;):hahaha:

Fun not stopped for Stu and I....................Anglesey tomorrow.:smokin: Might even see Rob in the evening as he's local for some work.

Will post up some of my pics later.
