LOL it's a b*stard ain't it when you think of something and someone beats ya 2it.

My land rover was painted orange a year ago so decided to have something orange on every motor I have lol

[Poopsie]

Tried the new rears on before blasting and paint:

they the original 15's banded ?

thats gonna look sick.

sorta like this . . .

Thats the one i was thinking of....

just checked that out, what width tyres ?

[Poopsie]

Bearing in mind i had 9x14's with falken 195/45/14 tyres and with full rear load the rim was about five mm of the tarmac, looked f*** badarse tho !



sorry to keep putting dub pics up but you can see what i mean, if you did this but on a ten any load would maybe pop the tyre off the rim, tell me to f*ck off if you please but just warning you, i dont have any pics of the car fully loaded but it compressed the tyres a lot, but i suppose if your using extra load tyres they will be stiffer (if they can stretch em) or you if your do'ing all the work your self. . . . .OH SHUT THE F8CK UP ALLREADY !

Mine came back from our scottland road trip.

So first of all with all the hills i needed more power so i put a zetec "S" badge on which gave it an extra 50bhp.


Then packed the van (I was quite impressed how much space we had in a SWB with 3 bikes, spares, camping stuff, helmets ect.)
It wasn't quite this well packed on the way home


Got the tunes on.


We had some sunshine


And some rain








We met a Swedish man


Saw the van of all vans, the mazda bongo friendee (great name) it even had a V6 badge on it.

[g-man]

shoulda put on RS badge on then had 225 xtra horses ..........great pics

[Drizz]

Ill be attempting to stretch the standard tyres on the fronts but i think ill need to find some different rears.....

We did one day at glen coe then 2 days at the fort. I've never ridden anything like that before there's nothing on that scale in north Yorkshire and the motor way is crazy, I don't really feel comfortable hitting jumps at that speed. and the speed you come into the corner before the hip if you clear the table at the top is just stupid. We are defiantly going again early next year.
