A Little Tale About Wales

[Harpham]

Me, the girlfriend and her dog have spent the past week in Wales. We staying in a place near Porthmadog. Minus the fact ive had to have a dog in the car, the 200's windows being covered in slobber and a massive amount of sand in the car, we've had an awesome week. Gutted to come home. Wales is a beautiful place. Amazing scenery and some great roads to drive on
I didn't take too much effort on the photos, as I didn't go to Wales just for the photos, so they aren't the best tbh

Unfortunately didnt get to try out the Evo Triangle. Wouldn't have been fair to be throwing Sarah and the dog around the car whilst I enthusiastically drive around a bit of road

As im sure all you lot are bothered about is my car (doubt you're interested in the missus or dogs), ill just post up the pictures which have my car in :rasp:

So, it started at Sarah's house early on Monday, with the dog waiting to get in (as soon as she saw us loading up the car, she didnt move from that spot and sat there shaking with excitement - can't understand why as she's never been aloud in any of my cars):

100 miles in, we had a stop at the services for a much needed drink

In the middle of nowhere, I decided to stop for a photo. Ended up on three wheels :rasp:

We were aloud to park the car on the beach down from Porthmadog, so I took full advantage of this lol

I let Sarah give the car a try.

Then Sarah suggested that I do that "Max Power Badboy Brap Brap" look next to the car. Coz im gangsta y0

I did wonder that, but there are quite a few idiots out there that ruin their cars by putting random stuff on (e.g. the Megane on eBay atm with the Williams sticker). Is the rollcage standard on these things? (I know nothing about these things lol)

 

[Scott™]

LOL at6 above. Glad you enjoyed it. Now all you need to do is come to the South West where the real beauty lies

 

[Cerrone]

Fit car! Love the picture next to the rocks!

 

[Naith]

Really nice place isn't it... Wales wasn't too bad either lol

I wasn't as bothered in this car tbh. Its not mine, so slightly more lenient with it. If it was my old 172, there wouldn't have been a chance in hell.
I put aload of dog protection in the car, she wasn't aloud in the front and we lifted her in/out of the car so that she didn't use the side skirts to jump into it. Oh and if I didn't drive, it would have meant Sarah would have had to and her driving s***s me up too much. She would have killed us on some of the roads we went on lol.
Driving on the beach was great fun though!

 

[daveski]

I've been there, many many years ago though. Its a lovely part of Wales.

[GSKingsbury]

Really lovely colour and amazing pictures the place looks gorgoeus just not keen on the stylee of wheels !!! Meeeh IMO obviously !!

 

[H182]

First 200 I've seen where the standard wheels look alright. Nice pics.

 

[VIICarCare]

[Christopher]

Great pics, you angry, angry man.

 

[Harpham]

^ Thanks guys

Great pics, you angry, angry man.

I think the break from COD has done my stress levels good. No roid rage for a good 2 weeks now

 

[Christopher]

LOL. Speedlines later, maybe?

 

[Harpham]

I like my standards. I think the only way ill get Speedlines is for use as track wheels, which I will end up spraying red.
I need to wait until I have money again though (also on the list is some lowzz and an exhaust system).

Im trying to restrain myself from spending too much on this car.

 

[AK]

I actually like the standard wheels.

 

[tanker]

We stayed near there last year, my dad runs mccols in blenau ffestinogg, it's a beautiful place. Nice slow pace to life.:approve:

The first shot by the rocks with te flare cropped out would look great as a banner.

Stunning car!
