Bala & Back...

[Mr Burns]

Since buying the Megane I've been itching to stretch its legs and reduce that average MPG! So with all my Christmas shopping done I decided to head to Bala Lake and hit up some good roads along the way...

 

[Stefan.]

Brilliant pics, meg looks at home!!

 

[Flat Eric]

Great pics Ste. Didn't know you had one of these either. What are your thoughts on it?

 

[Ian_182]

Great little trip steve, car looks well.

Much better than expected actually... These things really do cover the ground very quickly and effortlessly, and it's nice and comfortable too. I've found myself keeping an eye on the speedo as it always seems to be going quicker than I think lol.

 

[Feirny]

Great pics, love it round there!

For the price of them, they really are underrated imo.

Fantastic cars and capable of 40 mpg

Road trip?

Are they!?

 

[not normal dan]

Are they!?

Most I've seen was 35mpg on motorway trip lol

But I much prefer mine to the clios now, was a little dubious before I bought one but to live with there much easy and much more capable on the road

Derby to Luton last Saturday 39.4 and used 1/4 there and back.

 

[Feirny]

33mpg is the max I've seen.

 

[Mr Burns]

No just a brand new fuel line [emoji4]

I had a play with a Boxster s on the way back and completely left him, pulled back in the slow lane and carried on with the journey, he didn't look happy.

Yeah that's why I love these cars, stick all your mates in them and slay sports cars....... In a megane with a fat arse!

118d??

I'm looking at one of them for the wife.

So a big drive out then? First one to run out of fuel wins?

 

[not normal dan]

116d mate, still a 2.0 but it's the msport so it comes with 120bhp which I was sceptical about but it's actually quite quick and gets some good reviews

It's got the 18's and lowered as standard, really spec'd

Yeah I'm up for that in new year!

 

[not normal dan]

Oh and tax is 30 quid!

We've got some lovely 1's at work. I used to hate them but they're bloody brilliant!

 

[Ian_182]

If anyone wants some scenery next time they have a drive over wales they could do a lot worse than this route. http://www.cycleroutesuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/bala1.jpg its a favourite cycle route of mine and the roads are quite narrow sometimes but the views are stunning. You also get to be next to bulch-y-groes (sp) which is the highest passable road in wales apparently.
Anyway it will go along bala lake where steve went but its so often missed because its off the beaten path.

 

[Gally]

I didn't even know you had one Ste! Lovely thing, I was shocked just how quick they were.

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Nice pictures, look's really at home on them roads, excuse my ignorance, but where is Bala ? i've never even heard of it 😌 lol

 

[Mr Burns]

Mid Wales pal! Definitely a part of the country worth visiting :blush:

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Tar very much :smile:

It sounded very Scottish 😌 lol

I've only ventured into Wales afew time's and that's the Evo Triangle, there's so much more better road's that i need to go on! missing out.

 

[Mr Burns]

It's not far from the Triangle really, and the B4391 is an awesome road!

 

[Gaz_]

lovely, such a lot of car for the £££!

I need to go for a pointless blast down there over the holidays!. A visit to Rhug farm shop is also mandatory

 

[Mr Burns]

Why's that, Gaz?

 

[Gaz_]

Awesome butties

 

[Mr Burns]

I decided to go back, but this time to the waterfalls in Pistyll Rhaeadr...

The Meg looks like it's done a stage of the WRC now!
