Roads were ok but a combination of traffic and average speed cameras did spoil some of the driving. Lord Drakeford and his band of halfwits in the Welsh Assembly are going crazy with their so called approach to CO2 reduction and Road Safety. By September this year all roads with street lighting within 200m of each other will be posted 20mph unless otherwise stated. Loads of National speed limits are being reduced to 50mph. One of the famous roads here in S Wales, over the black mountains is now covered by average speed cameras. It’s now a monitored 40mph road. Several years back it was a National 🙁 Edited April 5, 2023 by Ringmaster999 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roads were ok but a combination of traffic and average speed cameras did spoil some of the driving. Excellent, going on my 5th trip in this car to that neck of the woods at the start of May. Clinging to the coast heading north to Angelsey and a wiggly scenic drive back to Kent via the Peak District. Three days so quite chilled. Again, some sections have to be mindful of speed cameras but there's always going to be some fun roads off the main A roads for them to completely cover with scameras. Taking my dad so it won't be a hoon as such. Though last time I think it was a bit too spirited for him going from Pencraig to Bala. Whilst gripping with white knuckles he said "whilst this is fun I'd hate for you to damage your car". I used my Kimi quote Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing. Though I'm sensible enough never to use the "Watch this" phrase 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ov40 Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Just back from a six day trip over to France, stopped at Hotel De France on the way down to Ruffec, 5 days driving around the extremely quiet roads around there. Thank God no Lord Drakeford over there.Thankfully I still have some good roads left in Powys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mypropaganda Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 / Picked up my pal this morning and then we headed up to Glenshee for a blast. Then worked our way over to Duke’s Pass for another blast (via Balilntagart for some lunch and then Loch Tay). A good day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, I tend not to even notice SUVs generally - sometimes I spot the Porsche badge but I think I'm mentally blinkered to them, it's not deliberate. They are just background noise.

Patt Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Summer wheels back on, converted from bolts to a studs & nuts - much much easier to swap out wheels now. Looks better and a very slight un-sprung weight saving too. Finally got around to sorting the Cobb out and have it married to Alice. I am now running the engine mapping change to 98 Ron stage 1. Having a few issues with it talking to the gbox, however the cobb tech support has been great so far. More to follow, but I did get into work 9 min earlier this morning.

moonshine Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Fitted the 981/718 Windschott high glass wind deflector https://ur-windschott.de/en/porsche-boxster-modell-981-hohe-ausfuehrung-auch-spyder/ and all weather floor mats thanks @drgav2005! The rear visibility through the windschott rear glass is vastly superior to the regular mesh for two reasons, first the obvious one that the glass is clear vs the semi opaque mesh, but secondly, the absence of the plastic frame makes a remarkable difference! I was surprised how obtrusive it is in hindsight! The high one is tall enough that the top edge is just above the field of view out of the rear view mirror, so you are completely unaware of it. I think the top edge of the low version would be in your field of view, so would be more noticeable Edited April 11, 2023 by moonshine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
