The 1M looks spot on; makes the M135i look even uglier when alongside! Would happily pay the extra for looks alone...

Mark the owner came from a 1M but required an auto and the extra doors but has his sights set on the M2....

It is a fun but practical car, tough bugger also after all we have thrown at them so far....

Awesome write up fella. Off on a big of a tour myself this weekend and this has just made the wait even harder lol

Nice one, what is your intended route and destination(s)?

Hi mate, sorry for late reply but I was hooning around Wales with 7 others ; )

Drove 1055 miles in 4 days. Started in North Wales and had a route set out by a couple of friends. I believe you may have bumped into a few of them last year whilst you were there yourself ; )

This time it was me in a R35 GT-R, a 673 brake 996 turbo, audi S2, scoob type ra, C63 amg, e39 M5, 997 GT3 RS, and a megane sport. Had such a blast and will defo be doing it next year!!

Enjoyed the pics above (and obviously the 1M)

I took my E92 330i both to North Wales (inc evo triangle) and Lochness in March/April, amazing roads.

How do I apply for the next trip?

Great pics thanks for sharing

i got to the pic of the dunlop girl then everything else just became a blur

[aussieinlondon]

And that is why she received 2 feature shots rather than one. Much deserved gracing the mid section of the post.... Hmmm, maybe she should have starred at the very end perhaps!

Some nice viewing material for my lunch break!

The 1M is such a stunning car - love it!

See a meg joins you for the trips...if ever down South (london way) for drives ping me a PM and the 265 Trophy would be pleased to attend

[aussieinlondon]

We are always on the look out for great driving roads, even simply on route to a PH SS, so will let you know. The owner of the Meg, Joe, came from a 1M but due to the amount of miles he does, was looking for something a lttle easier on the gas, mind you, the 265 doesnt half stick about on the b-roads we come across.....

[melvster]

Another great update for one of the best threads on PH....

As much as i love your 1M that Megane looks a riot.

Please can you put a few photos up, all these words and not enough pictures is a bit frustrating

A picture is worth a thousand words... In that case, I think I have said enough!
