Red Mk1 Blaina-Brynmawr & Blue Mk2 Abergavenny-Merthyr

Post by dragoonlordz »

On my way back from nice drive getting tyres checked out rims cleaned resealing and pull a nice long nail out of one tyre... Saw a red mk1 (heading to brynmawr roundabout and again in blaina itself while I parked my car up and it drove by) on my way back to blaina wales and also a blue Mk2 (heading towards abergavenny) on the horrible roadwork infested road coming back from Monmouth. :thumleft:

Buying a house, but I regret selling it to this day, it was a turbo and blindingly quick, but 20mpg on super unleaded and 205k miles a year travelling was heading me into bancruptcy!
I'll try and organise a meet or something guys :thumleft:
