It depends on the weather Calvin, if it brightens up a bit then yes I would probably go but if it is lashing it down it's no fun driving 2-3 hours up and then coming back in the very early hours if your driving though a river for most of the time.

Just had a look at the forecast and it would all seem to be good, what time are you leaving or will you be passing J32?

Sorry to miss out on this, was going to go as I was in 2 minds about attending some Rally stages, but had to shelve all plans I'm afraid - got a letter from the Hospital few day's ago and I'm off for a second operation on my Foot in 2 weeks, so got to get in the attic (Xmas stuff) and Mrs panicking etc etc No time to do anything and all that - won't be mobile 'till the New Year, after the OP Got to get to a Tunnel Run in 2011 though Oh and my check engine light came on last night for no apparent reason

I didnt get there either Got as far as Neath and the car developed a sever shake on the steering. To a point it was dangerous So pulled over and had a look but couldnt see anything So the choice was made to re-join the M4. Everything felt ok at this point until we got to the Pyle turn off where it happend agai. This time i decided enough was enough so decided to come back on the old road. When pulling off in 1st gear it sounded like the shaft was spinning but not gripping. Now the strange bit,stopped for food in Margam and from ther on there were no issues what so ever So it will be off to the local garage monday morning for an inspection. All i can say is BOLLOCK$

Will be good for us to go to Tunnel run one day !! Check Engine light came on while doing some gentle accel down the A465/Aber slip road, car not warmed up either, so was taking it easy !!

Only thing I've done is put some Vpower (£30)* in on Friday Night (Same night as light on) been runnin on TESCO 99 since Map.

This is odd I think, Filled up, went home to Neath, went to Glyneath and back twice, went to Bridgend and back to Port talbot today, then on to Swansea - Petrol light then came on Seems like no miles for 30 quid and only pootling due to engine light.

Refilled with TESCO now, but light stayed on - guess it will 'till reset
