    Welsh Road Trip

    We did it in 2009, 2010 and 2011. In 2012 we missed out and I put this video together instead, it just makes the withdrawal symptoms worse. Those mountains are calling me again.....

    Yes, they do look wide in the video but they are just 13x7" superlights with 175 width tyres. No rubbing, they were made for Mk2's!

    Re-edited for more awesomeness, Moby has left the building and been replaced with something more obscure. Hopefully it will last...
