Last drive of the year

[SimpleJoee]

As the bad weather is creeping by, I feel as though it's the right time to put the VTS away for Winter (and upgrades over Winter). So, with that in mind, me and @josh11490 headed out for one final run in our cars.

We started out heading for Brecon, stopping for some pictures along the way and comparing our cars (suspension is very similar, and mine is virtually the same spec that Josh's was previously). Then we aimed for the Black Mountains, and the famous Top Gear Hair Pin. Again, we stopped for a few pictures here and there, did a few obligatory Hair Pin runs, then headed elswehere until I ran out of fuel, and headed home lol. Overall it was a fantastic day, the weather was chilly but nice and we had no hiccups... no wait, we did. Josh attempted some Ken Block drifting action around a sharp corner, or in other words, his rear end stepped out, and after three left - right switches he caught her safely. Other than that, both of the cars performed faultlessly.
What else can you ask for out of two cars that are almost 20 years old, that get given absolute death (respectable death).

Here are some of the pictures, excuse the missing wheel arch...I'm too lazy to tiger seal it back on.

Thanks mate.
If I'm honest, I want a 106 every time these are put together, it is the better looking car.

Love that 106. Always a car I've wanted to try but never had the chance

Awesome drive out today mate.

We're lucky to live next to some of the best roads in the U.K., thanks for the compliments of the 106!

Nice combination of cool cars and great backdrop.

Thanks dude. Plenty of room for improvement with the pics, I keep finding flaws and picking at them each time I see them!
It was copious amounts of fun, the cars perform so well on those roads. Even driving at the speed limits you can have fun in these cars due to their ability to corner very well.

It's more the sound of the ITB's that made it.

I couldn't hear you over my ever so fading ability to hear, f**king cars man 😂

Funny you should mention ITB's. There's a blue VTS, that I saw going past me for the first time last week, near where I work that must be running ITB's as it sounded crazy.

Haha can't beat the sound of ITB's, the gti sounds mental for what it is.

Nah supersprint sounds so much better I think! And I prefer the straight cut look!

I've got some GoPro videos I'll upload shortly off this and Joe's saxsport.
