14 cars, amazing roads and fantastic atmosphere! This was one of the best days I spent behind the wheel! Welcome to another meet & drive this time from distant Wales. It was my first time ever in Wales and it didn't disappoint! The weather was playing tricks on us so I'm glad my car was wearing water liking MPS4 which were perfect in this conditions. Luckily, the rain stopped for the most important part of our trip to so you can enjoy some of the amazing drone shots.
I hope you enjoy this video! PLEASE remember to like and subscribe if you're new to my channel!
Only few days left before I set off to my another adventure in Scottish Highlands. It will be bigger than last year so I'm hoping for a dry weather.
Thank you for watching and see you in next video!

Fabulous video, it's 10 mins from where I live. Had loads of fun up there in everything from a Fiesta Diesel to a 911. It's a stretch of road guaranteed to raise a smile whatever you're driving. Be aware that Our Glorious Leaders have now slapped 40mph average speed cams on the Black Mountain Pass though.

Ah the route! well it is an excellent road trip tour, of South Wales, about 200 miles, probably 5 hours, calm like. Motor way, A roads, B roads, town roads, Mountains roads, KEEP IN THE SPEED LIMITS, lovely drive loads of stopping places for eats/drinks. Severn Bridge to Severn Bridge First no M4 onto A449 to Raglen onto A40 to Abergavvenny onto A465 to Brynmawr Make your own way to B4560 (mountain road) to Llangynidr onto A40 (again) to Llandovery onto A4069 to Gwaun Cae Gurwen (mountain road) the Top Gear Road) beware very bendy, speed limit 40mph, keep to this, it's a bad road, unlike the wews speeding, and going over the white line all the time even when there is opposing traffic. onto A474 to Ponterdawe onto A4967 to the M4 M4 to the Severn Bridge Do this in fine weather you will not regret it, unlike the wews doing it in rain.

FamilyDriver The V8 M3 is great, my favourite M car so far. I also had an e46 M3. I have recently swapped the m3 for an F10 M5, and I miss the high revving S65 big time! Taking the M5 to the Scottish highlands for a week at the end of the month so will see if I bond with it or if it will be up for sale shortly after I return. Hopefully I will try and get some footage up.

As someone who has walked all over them I personally can't stand you lot speeding through. It's free will and a free country but somehow it just doesn't go. You're like a round peg in a square hole - all out of sync here. And these weren't the Black Mountains. You were moreover on the Blorenge. Title is all wrong.

@MDrives 3 жыл бұрын

I absolutely get your point. You prefer the silence of the surrounding. At no point in this video I’m speeding, I always respect locals and rigorously stick to 30s. The noise of the car plays a big factor in incorrect perception of speed and before you ask, yes, my car is fully road legal with a factory sport exhaust.
