Went for a drive to the mountains [Pics ++ ]

So the Type R was in need of a good drive and I though seeing as it was a nice evening why not go for a drive in the mountains and get some pics!
So to start it all off you need a car, here she is!:

Secondly you need a destination, so here that is:

The roads up here are amazing, long streches leading into lovely challengeing corners and twisties:

Due to the time of night it isnt really safe to venture on foot very far up the mountains, so I though I would go to a watch tower that was build by a Prince to safe gurad his kingdom, this is the area King Arthur and Tomb Raider II was filmed as well as currently Bollywood film and many other films:

he views from the watch tower:

Sorry but couldnt get a decent view as health and safety people have meshed the top of the tower up so people dont fall :tard: .

On the other side of the mountains is the castle and the sea around it:


And on the way home a stop at the bridge:

The castle and bridge are my main subjects for testing gear out, so if people want I have some winter nights illuminated pics of them both here.

While taking a few pics I heard the most godly car sound ever, and what parked next to me but this monster:

The guy was lost and needed some directions, two thoughs came into my mind

  1. Murder him, take car for spin, burn it.
  2. Ask for a ride

So I opted for number 2 and OMG I thought the ITR could handle the the twisties well but this beast was amazing, and the speed was just gut twisting, and the guy wasnt too keen on the idea of living to 40 as he overtook everything however safe it wasnt!

So got home and took a pic of sunset from the window to finish the drive off:

thank you for reading.

I’ve heard one of those at full chat at a trackday.
As far as awesome engine sounds go, it ranks a close 4th behind a classic 1930s Mercedes grand prix V12, Ford GT40mk1 and the Rolls Royce Merlin/Griffon engine. :slight_smile:

Now if only I could find a well paying job within an easy drive of the Brecon Beacons that didnt mind me taking the odd day off to go flying!

:driving:

That’s Caernarvon Castle isn’t it? Don’t think I’ve been there since I was about 14. Lovely part of the world.
