Had an epic drive today, with a pal in a 180brake Fiat 500 Arby...Chepstow, St Arvans, Devauden, Towards Raglan, across to the Usk road and back to Chep, via Shirenewton... Full on wherever possible! Good purchase, that lil 6 of mine! You guys had any memorable drives? ________________________________________ SmartyMy lil toy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/martincurtisphotography/sets/72157640014140786/ |

Last year drove to a mates down in the new forest down the A31 and through the forest. No particular amazing corners to try the car out on but lots of nice wide straights to smash along in the blistering sun. Was a epic drive. |

The Alpine trips sound amazing - an ambition of mine, although it'll be years before I can go on that kind of jaunt...!My next target is the Brecon Beacons. I know some awesome roads up there, from a previous life 23 years ago! ________________________________________ SmartyMy lil toy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/martincurtisphotography/sets/72157640014140786/ |

He's spent a lot on that car. And tbh, I've never been in anything with so much grip. And the noise... the f**king noise!________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

It's the grip that's the key to that package. He was chasing me through the Alps, able to get on the power a full second before me on the exit from tight turns. My package has awesome grip, but it can't compete with a very well sorted 4WD setup with an angry Spongebob at the helm... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
