lomoto Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I think I might get the dust cover off mine this coming week and put the polished rims back on (bound to start snowing then ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Kirkstone pass if the roads are quiet and Honister pass can be fun too. I'm looking forward to driving round the lakes a fair bit this summer.

martinmac Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hiya buddy long time no speak. Great to hear from you. Whats the story with the engine Kev, think we could all do with some good thoughts on aftercare at the moment. Sounds like you are moving onwards and upwards. look forward to seeing some pics. Yes the wheels have had a relaxing winter swaddled in cotton wool in the garage and are only just back out. Apart from one minor scuff on a wayward rock they are still great and I love them.
