2012 Tours and daytrips

Though I'd share a few snaps from the proper side of the pond :wink:

First couple are taken on my phone, please excuse me for playing with the enhancements...

Both taken down in Cornwall England during this summers holiday.
More recently I took a day trip with my day up to the Lake District , this is 140 miles from home. We went to fetch some bits for an Old Fergie tractor I have, normally I'd bulk at such a trip for parts but the scenary is just so good I couldn't help myself. Got to drive two of the best roads in the Country. Honister Pass and Hardnott Pass.

Nice. Good to see some real coastline. I grew up down in Cornwall, but now live in the south west of the US....not quite the same!

Looks good. Nice pictures. I really like the OEM rims you have on the other side of the pond.

Cheers Guys!

Yep it was nice to get out an about.. in fact I'm going to make a rule of collecting ebay items from scenic places from now on :D

The rims come as stock as you say, they are very pleasing on the eye! I did consider just buying new tyres and wheels but didn't want to go any bigger and spoil the ride and given as they look so good just went for new rubber, hopefully I'll get another 50,000 miles out of them! I've done about 7,000 in the truck in 18 months and been very impressed so far. :D
