well, not long got back in! im knackered and my ears heart.
me and my mate (who was in a punto 1.2!) started off at about 12:30pm this morning. its was a bit of a shake down for both of our cars as we plan to do a long drive across France and to Germany.
i also wanted to what he was like as a driver as he has been learning for years and only past his test 3 months ago
he drives beyond his capability's, and the capability of his car. he fccked up at a island took it to fast in the wrong lane and ended up bouncing of the island. i have no idear was he was doing, or what he think he was doing
needless to say i was not impressed and now considering if i trust him to drive that far.
any how after that little insadent he calmed down. we were going cross country on a painstakingly planned route i had spent most of yesterday night planning
we came around a corner to see a plume of smoke, so we stopped and could do nothing but watch, the fire service had been called, no one was in danger
we had to take a different route as the road was knackered and the tarmac melted...it was amazing just how fast it went up! the fuel tank failed far before the car was really on fire, and next the tyres went pop
not nice :S
my mate missed the turning and then the second turning after i flashed him, phoned him. i gave up and turned around and got on the B4391
this is the route i took (i dont think it was exact as sat nav decided different on occasion

the road was great, the scenery was stunning, roads were clear and only a little damp (bar snow on one shaded corner)
once i got of the b4391 i took a route from baller to mach which was epic in its self
and on this road was were i came in to contact with some one who was intent on killing them selfs and there family.
driving down to wards a huge lake, wall on the left of me, steep drop to the right. i came around a sweeping left hander (60mph road) at about 40-50 i was then confronted buy a car on my side of the road, attempting to overtake a line of 6 cars, up a hill
i shat it and berried the the break peddle in to the floor. i had stoped far before this bloke had but there was no were for him to go and he must have been doing 60. all i saw was tyer smoke and him forcing the cars he was overtaking on to what little virge there was
lucky for me, i saw him before he saw me, and reacted a dam sight faster. no damage was done to any one's car
i pulled over and took a breather at this point to settle my nerves
some photos of the area around the laybuy
after a bit of a trec but still a great drive we stopped at both and had a wee
and then carried on though to abber
we had a nice meal at here and a walk on the beach
a great day bar the minor problems, the car stood up well and only burnet around £20 of fuel (i take it easy)
its developed 2 new squeaks! and at the end of the month will have to go back to joes to get the vis diagram replaced
i recomed the road to any one who wants a stunning drive
