So long as the roof is down all that matters is the roads, surroundings and buzz. Enjoy your trip. The black mountain pass is a cracking route.buzyg wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 7:22 pm Zed has to be clean at the start of any road trip. Even if it's raining I clean mine before a trip.
Hope it's a good one. MrsG and I are driving around South Wales this week. In the Brekons a few days back. In Tenby the past few nights. Alas the Zed is in the garrge at home until I can get the exhaust fixed. The Mx5 is in getting a wayward alarm sorted. So we are in my little daily shed. Loving the driving all the same. Which just proves it's more about the roads and an enjoyment of driving than the car.

My cupboards and drawers are same, OCD on what I can see, the rest, forget about it.Old-Duckman wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 8:04 am Agree, has to be done. It is such an easy vehicle to clean anyway, why not do it.
I have often said, my house may be a mess but I have to invite you over for you to see that mess. But, my car, on the other hand, is seen by anyone I pass by and I want it to represent me and leave a good impression...Even if under the surface I’m, well...not so neat and clean.

Good man! The week before setting off on a road trip around Brecons and Snowdonia, I fully detailed my car including wheel arch liners. To top it off, I packed my wash mits, wheel brush, etc., to wash my car somewhere in Wales if the weather played ball.
1st day was forecast to rain, and rain it did! 2nd day onwards, no rain, so we washed our cars.
Clean cars, great scenery, (+photographer friend) = great pics.
I hope you enjoy the road trip as much as I did.

I asked Kathleen and she said it has to be done, as I’d do the same, but……… we’re also off our rockers

I know Snowdonia well as I only live 40mins from there. In fact, I almost have the exact same picture as your 5th one! Cracking roads around there...i could lose a week just driving them all.
