White mkII turbo, stripped out, GT Wing - Severn Bridge M48

Post by shinny »

Saw a stripped out white turbo with roll cage and big GT wing on the M48, old Severn crossing, heading into Wales this evening (roughly 5:40pm I guess).

Was stopped at the toll gate for a long time... was crossing the toll gates as you arrived, and waited to see you leave. Eventually I got bored and made it all the way to the bridge's pedestrian gate before you drove past! Lost your wallet did you? Or was it all the soul searching of whether entering Wales is really worth the £6 fee? :lol:

That sounds like it belongs to a member who lives just over the bridge, monmouthshire is it? I bought some wheels off him a while ago.

Yup, you normally only use the M48 bridge if you're heading for Chepstow or Monmouth areas. The car looked pretty serious but I didn't quite recognise it :oops:

Yes that was me just coming back from a racing at Castle Combe, the coin toll rejected my last £2 coin, was stuck for 5 minutes until my wife arrived and passed me 2 more coins.
I need to use the coin toll as i can barely reach the guy to to pay when I'm strapped in my car
