Looks smart that mate! Such a bright coloured car, especially when given it good clean and suns out!

Liking it better now rear tints gone! lol. I tried that with my Ibiza and it went horribly wrong, ended up with pink lights!

Just noticed you're from North Wales, where abouts? I go to uni at Bangor & live in Chester and never once seen anyone out and about from SCN! Maybe I just don't look hard enough! lol.

Lol, yeah that was my problem, went through a car wash with them on and turned pink!

'BlackMagic' or something like that is on SCN and lives in caenarfon, that's the only other guy I know who's from our neck of the woods!

I used to live just down the road from Coleg Menai on a road called Trem Elidir. Surprised I never saw you! Although being a student I spent most of my days hungover in bed and was only really out driving at night to get beer & food from tesco! lol.

Ah right! That's probably why never saw you! lol

So what are your favourite roads around anglesey and generally north wales?

I love the twisty road between menai bridge & beaumaris (probably wrong spelling, lol), although they've stuck a boring speed limit on it now :cry: so that's only for a night time blast :cartman:

The A5 generally can be brilliant... but get stuck behind a caravan and that's it, you're buggered! lol.

Hmm, no I've never heard of that! I know exactly where it is though along the A5.

Is it just the 3 roads forming the 'triangle' that they use? Or are there roads in the middle too?

Not heard of cliff bends, where abouts is that?

The road which follows the coast past anglesey race circuit and past rhosneiger, abberfraw etc. Is great fun, especially on the way back from a good surfing session :p

Well I think I'll do my own 'evo' test on my new Leon sometime!

Yeah I've heard of Treddur Bay, don't think I've been to it though, although I've been to quite a few places around Anglesey that no idea what they were called! lol.

When I had the Ibiza, going round those twisty roads was amazing with my stiff low suspension... although if I hit a pot hole or a bump wrong, sometimes had the feeling I'd be ending up in the Irish Sea!
Will have to see how the Leon fairs up to the challenge of those roads with no mods to suspension or handling!

Maybe sometime we should get a load of SCN members that are in North Wales and have a bit of a meet going around that 'EVO triangle'??

If you do it properly should be fine, all I did was replace springs and not uprate the shocks, so after a while everything was just ruined! lol

What suspension you thinking of getting?

Yeah, is weird that there doens't seem to be that many SCNers round here, I'm sure they're out there somewhere though! And I'm sure the prospect of this amazing 'triangle' road would bring them out! lol.

just springs for the moment, but good quality eibach, may upgrade shocks in the future depends on money...

haha yeh , im sure we would make lots of money if we charged people to see the "triangle" road :p
