Elan Valley today....
 

I had a drive to see my folks yesterday and took the scenic route through Bridgnorth, Craven Arms, Knighton, Rhayader then the old Aberystwyth road that runs above the Elan Valley.
It is a route I've driven many many times but yesterday it was so wet it was unbelievable.
Coming home today I chose the same route and I stopped above the Elan Valley and took a couple of pics, btw photography isn't my strong point nad the pics were taken with my phone.
This is imho one of the best driving roads in Wales and is frequented by Evo, Top Gear, and dozens of Pistonheads but there isn't one speed camera in sight.

Groomus, is yours a quattro??? (looks like badges front and rear)

.
 

No Steve its a 2wd.

I just love how the badges fill the tailgate and grille one looks neat.

If mine was a factory quattro (it was ordered as one,but to get to 1st owner in time,factory advised cancelling option as didnt have all parts to assemble),the right hand side would read quattro 2.6E.
I didnt want there to be no,or an Audi script,badge on the left any more...

So,liar badges if you like.I like them though..

Been on the roads by Rhayader,Aunty had a caravan in Llanidloes.
Brother ended up there with a girl,after a party.Middle of nowwhere.:)
Lovely roads and scenery.

So dos this make it a recreation or a tribute car Groomus ?? :ihih::ihih::ihih:

Ah, im getting all nostalgic for Wales now... I spenT much of my childhood there..
