Speed limit is more than enough for me ... wheels rub the arches -_-
I dont get the appeal of LY pay a grand more for a colour that everyone has got theres 1 in my street (guys isnt on the site, i did ask him.. he looked at me like i was retarded)
I just dont get why anyone would pay more than they should for something ...

Yeah. Speed limits fine by me, most of the road are twisty enough for those speeds anyway [emoji106]
LY common? 73 made is hardly common. I didn't pay way over the odds for mine, was only a few hundred £ more than the others I was looking at and had better service history, lower milage and far better condition!
Some people do pay a lot for them though, but I do think it's worth it myself. I love the colour so much! To me it makes the car feel more special.

I agree! Shame that they do go for more, but the colour is simply stunning! I'm just glad I payed under the typical asking price

Think their attracted to Wales! There's 3 odd in a 10 mile radius of me.
Didn't know there was a non trophy red 182. Or do you mean the Flamer red 172?
Sods law it will rain, probably be weeks of Sun and it'll rain on the day.

Ah yeah. Inferno is actually fairly rare too.
Quite a few 182s around Merthyr area. Alex is there with his LY. Lol

I can think of about 4 car parks on route that would be large enough.
Nice to see a few of the english members coming down for this. Fingers crossed the weather holds up!

I actually popped out to the Beacons today. :smile:
Didn't quite follow our planned route and just went where I wanted. I hope the weather is this nice come May 10th!
I then had a booboo while parking up at the last dam :/ Visibility really isn't a strong point of the EP3! Oh well, my bad.
Working on tidying it up as a temp thing, but I'll get it resprayed.
Few others in no particular order...
I know the pictures are a bit s**t but I was in a bit of a rush!

Currently dubious about dragging the bike along as to front calipers have locked on for a second time now. Replacements on order!
Anyone got a car I can lend??! Lol

I s**t you not, it sold last night 20mins after I posted that and was collected today. Still got a bonnet tho. U about for this meet?
Should hope you still got the bonnet considering it was thrown in with the carbon bits lol.
I should be about for it bud, just ordered a new set of front calipers (£££££) pads (£££) and discs (££££££££££!!!£££)
If anyone can edit the list: I'll still be attending. Although I'll be in my dci rather than the 2.0

Can I ask for a bit of advice from local experts... What's the best one-way route from Builth Wells to Crickhowell?
At the moment I've got:
B4520 to Brecon
A470 to Storey Arms
A4059 to Hirwaun
A4221 Inter-valley highway to Brynamman
A4069 to Llandovery
A40 to Brecon and beyond
B4560 over Llangynidr
Crickhowell
I guess I'm fairly comfortable with the route, all except for the section between Brecon and the southern end of the Black Mountain pass. Is my route above good, or should I amend it to go from Brecon to Sennybridge then down the A4067 to Abercraf?

Tim sorry we been away over the bank holiday. Did anyone get back to you on this?

Well the route you have chosen looks good to me. Llandovery to Brecon can be a busy road with not a huge amount of places to overtake but it is a great piece of twisty tarmac that should be driven if your in the area.
The Abercraf road again can be busy with more options to overtake and has better scenery but not as half as much fun to drive.

Brecon to senny bridge sections fast flowing smooth bends.... quite a nice section.
The senny bridge to abercraf sections dull. Drive it a lot. Mainly straights, often cameras on there too. Some nice scenery but crap to drive.
If you are wanting to head that direction, you could do senny bridge, to tre castle, then go back roads towards abercraf. Seriously twisty sections there! Entertaining roads.
95% sure this is the route. Brilliant little run

Yeah. I'm sure it's the same. I used to go swimming in the river that runs alongside the twisty road as a kid. Its popular with families for a day out there.
They use it for night stages in amateur tarmac rally too. Never had the pleasure of watching it though.
