Did the Evo triangle and a track day at Anglesey last weekend. Unreal roads and weather on the Friday, though the trackday was a bit wet on the Saturday!
Car performed amazingly, though all the power is just useless in the wet. Had one of my best battles with a 140bhp 106 Rallye ffs
Averaged 6.9mpg on the track, then 22 on the way up from Dublin so not too bad.
Some photos of the roads and the place we stayed(old place of worship complete with pulpit, hymn book and jesus on a cross watching over us ffs):

Bit of Jesus in your life will do you no harm! Scenery looks unreal there, lol at 6.9 mpg.

Noise of thon thing
Was actually part of the euro trip I done earlier this year. Got to choose any of their UK trackday to do as part of the package, so me and the lad in the white subaru arranged to do the same one and take in some scenery while we were there.
Roll on euro trip 2019 now, though going it alone this time!

That looks absolutely brilliant. Car sounds utterly incredible even out of my phone speaker!
Would love to do something like that myself! My VRS estate is just a mini c63 *cough* it will be practically the same
Definitely do it! You'll have fun no matter what you are in. There were guys out in a Citroën C1 last weekend having as much fun as anyone else! I'd say the VRS would be sharp enough, plenty torque to power out of corners.

You’re living the dream with all these motor related adventures
I’m getting married next year but I’m sure I could put that off if you want a co pilot. The fiancée won’t mind.

Cheers, I'm only home for 6 months of the year so try to cram in as much as I can when I'm off.
Get a road trip done as part of your honeymoon
I'm taking the wife with me again. Never thought she'd enjoy the first euro trip as much, but it was her suggested we do it again but take longer and have it a bit more relaxed this time!

Not a major update, but saw over 20mpg today on a longer run
Was going to change the wheels, then I wasn't, then I was again, just don't know. I hate the standard rims plus they're soft and will crack soon so I'll have to think of something.

Finally got round to fitting 4 new tyres, so a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S went on yesterday with wheel alignment afterwards.
Then thought I'd do the pads for the upcoming road trip. Actually didn't need done as were done recently, but the Ring and the alpine passes will be hard enough on the brakes. I can take the old ones as spares just in case though. Nice and easy to do luckily enough, just slide in.
And lastly I'm doing the auxiliary belt. Read too many stories now of them snapping randomly, sometimes at low mileage. Best case is a few warning lights, stick new belt on and go again. Worst case is it also whips through the main loom, which is inconvenient.
So belt, tensioner and all pulleys getting done now.
Sunday morning I'll go to Cars and Coffee at Down Royal then we head straight from there to Hungary for a 4500mile round trip.
