lost a race with an R32  :sad1:

Nice to see the R32 trying to prove something :signLOL:

I think it actually proved it quite well.... oh well looks like I will have to rely on the old moddin' route to keep up, and just ensure its stone dry, and a in a straight line next time  :grin:

just to add: we were both trying to prove a point in a fun way, and thats all it was - a bit of fun.

....It always pisses me off when we are all having a safe but spirited few hundred yards or so with each other on a meet convoy, that authority would view us as "racing" and impose very heavy penalties if they could. It is easily possible to have fun on the road in a sensible and responsible way. In fact, if more drivers actually enjoyed their motoring and were more focussed, there might be less accidents (now called 'incidents').

Yesterday the ED30 was fitted with 2 new Toyo T1R Tyres, so the back now matches the front.

P.S. yes I did put the new ones on the rear, the fronts have 6.5mm.

Apparently you should always put the new tyres on the rear. :happy2:

Sitting by the side of the road waiting for the engine to cool down on the Camper was a given when on the Run To The Sun in the mid 90's for me and my mates.
Happy days though!!!!
