Wow im actually exited ... Pen dine sands is where i grew up as we had a static caravan there when i was a nipper and the last time i visited a took the MK2 escort on the beach for a little speed run, its a couple of miles of nothing but straight sand ... i have to be honest though the museum is not the best its the size of a postage stamp and you can breeze through it in under 10 mins .... i seem to remember a lot of stuffed seagulls for some reason and lots of Taxidermy ... i thought that was rather odd for a Speed Museum

But then again i was sporting a blond mullet and bright colored cloths clashing terribly with my Denim jacket ....

Lets hope Mike wears his Double denim to really bring back memory for me

If Mike commits to do this, maybe we should start a double denim list too? Could probably get away with that in Ireland for a day..

Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm sure it has not been missed, but I feel as we're "On the Doorstep" we should visit this-
http://www.carmarthenshire-pages.co...._of_speed.html

I also remember going to the Beacons when I was a primary schoolboy, staying in a crofters cottage without running water called "Cwm Llwch" There we learned the tragedy of Tommy Jones.

I won't drone on anymore but the tale is good and factual!!

Best regards to all.
Steve

Sooooo, is there anything really wrong with double denim, or are you all fashion fascists!
