It's the A4069 between Brynamman and Llangadog in South Wales.

The A4059, A4067 + other surrounding roads are all good fun too. :)

My go below, and I did not even manage a whole E30.

Personally, I think we will all have to go some to beat that composition of GemE30's on the bridge.

Martin has your E30 had some "front end action" as the panel gaps are epic! Is the drivers side worse?

I like this photo. Crop the sky and photoshop the bugs out though, for a big improvement.

Oh I think my poor E30 has seen more action than Ashley Cole, but alas, I love her winkeye

The bonnet gap is tragic because the car has the M30 in it, and the E34 518i washer bottle (the only one I have found that vaguely fits) is 5mm too tall and the bonnet hits it. That job is on the list .....

The front bumper gap is because one of the previous councilly inclined owners saw fit to put painted bumpers on a chromie. I must have the same taste though, as I quite like them :o:

The gaps look OK in real life, but agree that they do look shocking in close-up.
