Snake Pass

calibrax · 28th December 2008, 15:37

Took my car over Snake Pass today, a very nice drive! Wanted to stop and take some piccies, but most of the spots were pretty useless for that, I wish they'd build some nice parking areas just off the road, as some of the views are amazing! Had a little fun on the way back towards Manchester with another ZT in trophy blue, 02 reg number ending in JZP (I think?), anyone on here?

Anyway I did find one spot to take some piccies. And yes, the car is in need of a wash...

Doesn't matter if it's in need of a wash or not. In my opinion it's the best colour for a MG.

The first place that you normally hear blocked by snow on the radio reports.
