Matthew's driving that, but it aint a turbo, it's a 1.4 valver.

The mountain is a  2sec drive from my house, and i enjoy nothing more than pushing golf GTi's and type-R's over it.

Suprised a 1.1 pulled away up that hill, I could understand if it was on the downhill section.
Dust the old pc off and get them up!

Lol, it was downhill! Around those U-bends down into aberdare.

He was parked up in a 'layby' when i passed him. I turned around to go have a chat and a look, and as i did, he saw me comming and floored it! Went around those U-bends up on 2 wheels,lol. I let him go, then caught him at the bottom where he waited for me, and his discs were glowing and smoking.

Search rhigos mountain road, it's a better local road

Nah, different one to the one i left you on

One in the vid and not the wid, is shorter with some steep U=bends.

You lot will have to pop down next summer for a meet and we'll do some cracking roads up over in the beacons.

And yeah, he was rolling on 155's with funky wheel trims. His tro was a minter tbh

Even though the chance of death meter is up near 100%, its probably better to do that at nightas you'll see the other cars light first. Providing they have theirs on of course

Since the video was taken, they've been logging up there and the tree's are now gone from the road side. So you can tank it over in the day if you look ahead enough to get a heads up on whats comming. But the cover of darkness is best

I've almost come a cropper as a passenger coming over that mountain.. Was in a Fiat 500 with a girl and she didn't believe me how sharp the bend was, understeered like fuck.. I closed my eyes and somehow Im still alive..
