Popped over to Wales for Easter weekend. Fun to be had by everyone other there.

1> Somehow the weather manages to stay good and I had the roof down for the whole week.

2> North Wales has more plod on it's roads that in my local nick.

I know of a great B&B in Mid Wales, a good starting point, if any one is interested, would need to know a date, and check availability.

Love it. That little driving weekend kind of made it all make sense. Plenty of revs and few corners and its in its element.

Once you learn to live with a few of its 'characteristics' like very little low end torque and it liking a few minutes to warm up then it really is a great little car.
It's got enough pace (although like with all cars, you soon want more) and still fairly practical for day to day.

All in all, recommended.

Thanks for that. I have been looking at the 197 F1 as i thought it could be a bit of fun to drive. May have to go for a drive in one.
