tip: if you see a man in a sheep field with fishing waders on look the other way!
just check normal stuff oil, water levels etc.
depends on your right foot an the roads you are goin on motorway driving will give you better fuel econ

Whereabouts in Wales are you going?? my ex has a chalet in Abersoch, we all used to go up there all the time until a tree fell on the roof and crushed the place. It is nearly rebuilt now though, so soon there will be more parties on the beach!! :)

but it's pronounced clanethley according to a welsh bloke that was on the side of the road!

Llanbedrog?? that's actually where the chalet is, it is about 1 mile out of abersoch centre. It's really cool up there when it's sunny, loads of people around and always loads of parties going on.

the welsh can be very very odd at times. i eman even in swansea weve experienced the old "they stop talking in english and talk welsh" routine before lol

fuels a bit cheaper though as is beer :D but try to find a decent pint lol

oh and the welsh accent is possibly the biggest turn off ever
