Photos of a very wet Sunday Drive in Wales

grumpy · 29-05-2008, 19:34

The weather was awful on Sunday so we had a few people calling in with weather sickness.. to be honest I cant say I blamed them.. But the weather didnt damper our spirts and so it was 4 of us off out for a very wet Sunday run..

The weather conditions did make it very interesting but I think its safe to say we all had a lovely time although very tired after the 300 miles drive we did..

Here's a selection of my fave photos from the Run - more can be seen in the Gallery here.

Thanks

Out of intrest, how did the new CTR stack up aginst the old version in terms of corners acceleration etc... ?

I bet that VRS was up them Civic Type R asses most of the time due to them having beggar all torque, great pics.

Nice pictures.. If I had known I would have taken my CTR up.

Do Rebel Motor Sport club have a website or a forum at all??

Many thanks,

To be honest there is not much in it at all.. the guy who owns the FN2 in the picture owned a EP3 before that and he is very happy with the new CTR, so much so he has already racked up over 45k plus miles just on weekend runs out alone and thats in 18 months and I thought I did a lot of miles!!

I think the vRS had the edge in a straight line but there wasn't that much in it. I got caught out a few times with lag (even though my turbo spools up a bit quicker than normal!

) but ultimately the CTR is an awesome track car and there is no way mine would keep up with a CTR in the bends.

The Fabia may well be appearing in the for sale section very soon with very low milage so keep an eye out!!!

I thought the Fabia looked familiar - how are those 312 brakes going Gez?

Excellent photos too. And good to see a little damp weather didn't defeat you
