Saw quite a few classic yanks Friday afternoon/evening heading west on M4 between Pont Abraham & Pyle and a couple this morning. Anyone know if there is a meet on in West Wales??

There was hot rod racing on pending sands today I believe. I saw a lot of hot rods between cross hands and carmarthen. Would be nice for it to be a regular thing.

I saw a new style Mustang in grey on the M4 this evening near Hendy heading East.

I saw more of these today most of which were heading East away from Carmarthen. The only ones I recognised were a Hudson Hornet ((matt black with red pin striping)(only because of the film Cars)) and a Plymouth SSR pick up in bright red. All of the others were open wheel hot rods. Nice to see on the road.

Spotted a load of these on the M4/A48 on sunday as well. One was filling up at a local petrol station on saturday night. Makes a very different noise when starting up to modern motors. smile

Most of them had a number in that thick white pen stuff (hopefully washable?) so assumed it was for some sort of rally. Even saw a few pickups, old lorries and a few of those bubble like caravans. Looked to be americano classics.

I wonder of they realised I had a big yank engine under my bonnet. wink

Only found out about it yesterday myself. Would have been a good way to spend an afternoon.
