A good day. 
Shame we lost a few people in the fog along the way, plus the slight 'off'. 
Nice to give the car a good 'run' occasionally, although definately time for some new tyres because a) I discovered a screw in the front-left before we left Merthyr and b) the fronts are low anyway and really struggled for grip on occasion yesterday!
One minor bad point for me - pulled into the Shell garage to fill up and caught my bumper and wheel on the kerb around the pump.
Scored the bumper and put a small scrape on the wheel.

Good run back down the A40 on the way back. I think the guy in the S3 was a bit miffed

He then overtook the 2nd car after us but couldn't stick with us!

had a great day, nearly ran out of fuel though!! had to dive into a esso for a pit stop.
Glad it was only minor cosmetic stuff with the car chris. and hopefully it will be sorted soon.
I can't log on to the southwales web from where I am as I've got it set up on my password manager at home and can't remember my log in details, so I'll check when I back.

oh, do you know you lot, you bloody useless.
Only a couple ,here you go
God knows why everyone has just stopped like this but I am sure there was a good reason
Might be coz Chris decided the road wasn't wide enough so spun off and cleared a new path
