Something for the weekend sir
Turbo Mini Forums

Well been away for the weekend, was going to go to Amsterdam but due to unforeseen circumstances i went to Lake district instead, have to say i had a cracking time and even managed to give a wide boy a driving lesson me in the pug him in a 330 coupe.... it was wet though so had an advantage with the pugs predictable handling, roads were fantastic and when you see a sign saying " 760 casualties in 5 years" you know its going to be a great driving experiance.

Also caught up with the Malcom wilson rally that was being held in the cumbrian mountains, have to say waiting for a good photo while a rally car is going dead at you at full chat and not running away is pretty hard going, must have been hit on the head 5-6 times by flying stones


























Roads were amazing but pretty dangerous, went up into the mountains, you can just about see the road winding though, the mountain roads are only 4 meters wide




Last one, this is top of a peak with a 1 in 3 drop on the only road in or out, i had already done the 1 in 3 climb


Obviously no ibiza but for a driving experience was simply superb, did 1080 miles in total and spent about £65 in lpg lol

cool. the mini club im in do a lakes tour in june. we do a treasure hunt/quiz on sat then a 100+ mile tour following sort of pace note directions. always involves going over hardknot pass awsome driving roads. weekend camping to.

Grizedale ... 6R4 .... kleenex ....

almost died in the killer kielder a few years back in a Gt4 ..... but Grizedale holds nothing but fond memories .. memories of fear but fond ones ... if that makes sense

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

I was there four years ago I think.
Beautiful. We drove from kendal to Lake Windermere, and then over some hills over Ullswater was it? A592 to Penrith.

Lovely!

Whereabouts in the lakes are you Turbo Phil? I'm just outside, in Carnforth.
