Stayed away from Motorways whenever possible just wanted to enjoy the cross country A roads from Margam, the Neath Valley, Brecon, Builth Wells and on....... :lol:
The car motored well and purred along in comfort. I was surprised on how much poke there was up and down the valleys too for my 1.8, it must be said that engine has some hidden powers. I think it gets unfounded bad press at times.
It got me thinking a club convoy covering the entire A470 should be organised ending up in Cardiff! Anyone interested some fantastic scenery. Also the Brecon Beacons road that's one for the ZT owners  |
Sounds like you had a nice time Parker, cant say i have been to Llanfair-PG, but me and family stayed in a log cabin in Mongomeryshire for a week not far from Builth-wells and had a great time. Wales has some of the best countryside in the world i think and we dont know how luky we are to have it on our door step. as for the engine, well my zt-t seams to be a high reving, and i think it would be better if it had a 6th gear i dont know about the 1.8 thou.
