Beast

And it's not my fault you can't keep up with 1.3 derv POWER

Honister pass was boss, not really a road to rag down with the width but just an amazing place to be and with the challenge of getting up that hill, behind a bus

Bonney if you'd have come you'd have been very wet It was dry for the drive round the lakes but the M6 had some bad rain in places.

For anyone interested this is the route we took

Nice little trip out.

And the Corsa's not mine btw, a lack of trust in the Primera meant borrowing my Mum's car instead
