It's a really good day, been for the last 3 years. A good mix of cars from WRC Scoobs to Mark 2 escorts

You need to wrap up warm though, it's very open to the wind there

Yes Peter Lloyd has just bought an S12 , very nice , well it should be for
£250k but he won't be there as he's going away for christmas.

I have an entry in for this but it filled up within a week and I am on the reserve list I hope I get a run.

Hi, I will be there as it is only takes about 10 mins from my house, and about 20 minutes if I take the enjoyable route... by the way watch out for speed camera vans on the millenium coastal road, Pwll ( in a layby right before the national speed limit ), Burry Port just as you come in and before you leave, Pembrey just by the church and again before you enter the national speed limit, oh and the numerous patrol cars and at least 3 static Gatso cameras as well between the motorway and race circuit.

No wonder I take the scenic route

I do not go as far as Trimsaran (Stradey Woods is a cracking drive in itself), take a left on top of the hill (marked with the picnic area sign) and keep on that road all the way down Pembrey mountain which is like a rally stage itself but you have to watch out for tractors , OR go through Trimsaran and carry on straight to Kidwelly that is a cracking little stretch of road.

thats the way i go but just before you get to the end of that straight take a right its a kinda fork in the road. thats the road im on about takes you through some great bends which you cant see around or over and when you come to the bottom you join a kind of main road and it just pops out 600 yards from pembrey circuit.

It's still the best £10 you can spend over christmas apart from in thailand!!!!!

Spotted your car in the carpark Dyl4n, looked very clean after the polish, Mine is still sporting the stealth road salt/grime and will be for sometime to come
