SUNSHINE! I feel a drive coming on

[datasafe]

Wall to wall sunshine here in Bridgend so I'm honna have the day out in my Atom. Going to Maplins on Newport Road then Pro-Speed exhaust place on City Road and Dinas Powis before back to Bridgend. That's my FIX for the day.

Give us a wave guys.

See you.

Hmm, got something else to do, now what was it, what was it...oh yes, work! Still, drove the Mustang in this morning after a garage spell avoiding the rain and it was great. I'll be down Prospeed next Monday having my X-pipe fitted so fingers crossed it's sunny.

Bridgend > Roath > Dinas > Bridgend =ALL DAY
Blimey datersafe I didn't realise how slow those Atoms were
Enjoy your trip

That's better!

Brilliant drive & great fun but work did interfere! It is great when you can travel to work and get a fix at the same time.

Did you mean Newport Road in Cardiff? If so then i was down there earlier, enjoying a nice lunch in TGI Friday. Didn't see anything as cool as an Atom though

Ah well you can see totty anywhere these days, but an Atom...that's something special

I was at Maplins at 9:30am then on to Pro Speed in City Rd. Spent about an hour there befor travelling to Dinas Powys about 11:15. Left Dinas about 12:30 travelled through Wenvoe A4050 and down to the M4. Got home about 1pm probaly when you were in TGI.

A question for you guys.

If you saw my Atom parked in a car park, would you climb in and sit in the driver's seat?

Now either I'm getting grouchy in my old age or senile dementia is setting in but, I wouldn't dream of doing that - especially when you have to stand on the seat to get in and out.

It's happened twice now and I must admit, it does p**S me off a tad.

Me too lol. I'd go ballistic if someone sat in my car without permission

You can't beet a good tunnel run. Had one myself on Monday.
Just a trip down the bay - a few pops and bangs on the tunnel in and a godalmighty howl on the way out. Can't beat it.

Excellent, certainly puts a on my face and occasionaly get a if anyone else is in the tunnel.

Yeah I had a nice run yesterday, went from Barry to Newport and then up to Brynmawr and then onto Brecon and back to Barry, windows down and the M3 singing, saw you in the Atom as well on Newport Road about 10.20am

[steve j]

Nice one taffyracer, the weather is going to be nice this weekend, I`m off out, just gonna point my nose and see where it goes.

Hopefully the rest of you will follow then.......

10:20am on Newport Road would have been about right.

It was the staff at Maplin that alerted me to the fact that someone was sitting in my car! When I got outside they'd walked away, perhaps the best thing they did. Mind you, if I had caught them I might have been knifed becoming the 52nd victim of a knife attack over the BH weekend - FRIGTENING!!!

I have thought of putting some sort of sign saying - "Do not climb into this car". Just defies logic that anyone would.

I was really looking forward to a nice drive in the sun thise weekend but 'she who must be obeyed' just had delivered a 'flat-pak' garden shed and she's working!!!

I need an excuse guys and know you're a very resourceful bunch

[handbag]

You could tell her there's a vital bit missing, then miraculously "find" it after you've had a nice and are you absolutely sure you don't need to go out and buy/borrow a new tool to do the job....?
