As much as I love taking my Mini Clubman JCW for a spin through the winding roads of Ceredigion, sometimes it’s nice to let someone else take the wheel. Or, in this case, the whistle! When I heard about the opportunity to ride the Vale of Rheidol Railway, which steams through the Cambrian Mountains, it…

Ever since owning my first Mini, I’ve wanted to attend. I've been to other mixed car events before, and it's often…
It is said that some of the best driving roads in the UK are in Wales and I personally couldn't agree more.
If the roads are good enough for the Grand Tour to use, as well as hosting the British Rally Championship and Mid Wales Rally, there must be something pretty special about the Welsh roads…
