On the way up to North Wales last weekend, to compete in the Cambrian Rally, I took some pics. of the scenery, to show you lot what you are missing by not living in God's Country.
I covered about 420 miles, so it was a good test for the new SW chip.
What a difference, the car picks up better, feels much smoother accelerating and does feel quicker, a much nicer car to drive now, and I still had 1/4 tank of fuel left !!!

This is a really fast stretch from Builth to Rayader, fast and flowing for about 12 miles.


This is the run down the mountain into Dolgellau, Flat out for 4 miles.!



This is Blaenau Ffestiniog, with all the slate hills.

Hu, what amazing place you live in.  No traffic, clear and twisty roads.  Brilliant......  ow did you get on in the Rally.

Gearbox seized 4 miles from the end of the last stage !!!

That's just not fair Hu.  I feel for you mate.  What caused the gearbox to seize, do you know?

The previous stage, Penmachno, was VERY rough, and we think it cracked the casing so the oil
ran out = seized gearbox!

Bugger - is it weldable?

No mate, it's furbared.............................
new gearbox.
