Very nice OP, enjoy it…

I quite like russian watches… granted its quartz and not mechanical, imo quartz is the most accurate and no faffing.

just ordered this one..

for road/gravel the torino – nice rally

Had a couple of borders twenty years ago now… seeing this thread has made think of getting a couple more, lovely dogs, and as said they loved chasing all day and equally sitting in front of the fire all day… awesome dogs

That November rain storm hit Nice very very badly, about 8 months worth of rain in an hour!!!

Just got some a couple of months ago on CRC, didn’t realise they stopped production.

I even have the yellow tabs…

That will be Riviera Trail XP, Tracey, we are Riviera Bike 🙂

There are about 15 shuttle companies in Finale so plenty to chose from. Finale is a nice town so plenty do for the missus if she likes shops restaurants and beaches

After 4 loans and a cc from natwest I received 3.4k in total. It took about 2 hours work from me just filling in a firm. Don’t use a third party as they take a third of your earnings plus vat

Also the don’t forget the value of the Euro has fallen due to the brexit referendum and everything is more expensive here, the pound has fallen even further so a double whammy for the brits..

Opec have reduced output so even higher prices on oil which relates to higher delivery manufacturing costs etc…

You need to check rates against the dollar/yen, and you can see how far it has fallen…

Brexit shouldn’t be problem, when LePenn gets in and they vote on frexit, followed by Greece, Italy etc.. then we will have a trade deal oh… hang on… another EU

I had one of these in brown but with the stag alloys when I passed my test.

2.5 straight six, replaced the twin SU carbs with some webber 40’s, drank fuel and wheelspun in 3rd, great car.

Sadly it rot away

Thinking of heading over there as I’m only 3 hours away, I have always wanted a california replica, and that alloy body with pretty much rolling chassis can be a good buy

Here in sanremo / molini they have the irc rally and the historic rally every year in march/April. My god the smell and the noise of the group B’s is immense

Freemotion.com they have excellent bikes and good accom and route advice

Lesotho.

I’ve been many times. I plan to live and work there one day, even if only for a year or so. I have never, ever met a more welcoming people.

My guide keeps on telling me to go there, and set up some mtb there…. will be there next winter..

The Iveco Daily’s, Sprinters are too big as I will be using it to access some trails for repair etc.. and some of the roads are very narrow.

Well spoke to my mechanic next door (he owns a defender) and he said if I don’t buy that santana in autotrader in the above post then I’m an idiot!!

Our friends use the ex carabinieri iveco daily 4×4 riot vans, they come up at 7/8k Euro but they are huge, they have pajero’s for general 4×4 duties.. The Delica is mine..

Thanks for the advice guys

That Santana looks good, Is the under carriage and running gear the same as a Landrover or are they different?

I currently have a T5 and a Fiat Ducato for general shuttle and transfer duties, just need a slightly bigger 4×4 for the epic ride days so will not be used every day…

Maybe a beefed up T4 or syncro may be the way to go as the offroad is only rough fire roads, no mud or ruts

Lived in Norbiton for a few years and loved it there, but kingston itself is pretty and by the river, but full of chain pubs/restaurants and not a nice place at night.

trains are crap and take ages. Surbiton line much better. Moved to walton on thames where its cheaper but it seemed like it was a place for the filthy, or filthy rich, nowt much in between.

commutin by bike from kingston is great tho, the park, putney, kings road and pretty much in london… took me on avg 40 mins, quicker than the train/tube

live in Italy now though!!

specialized had it right when they stuck with 26 and 29 (market forces changed their mind)….. everybody wanted 27.5, realised wasn’t all that.

Now it’s 29… 31 in 2018…..

But as a guide and who has a new bike each season, I will be riding my 2014 Enduro (with the 650b model shock shuttle) through the 2017 season and probably 2018 season.. I cannot think of a single bike that will replace it…

Hmmmm my air can came undone, but not enough to pop off, the air valve part rubbed against the piggyback housing..

Here in Italy, horns are used regularly, cars will hoot at cyclists to warn them that there isxa car behind, nothing aggressive.. Italians do park anywhere. But if you are hoggong the motorway lanes then god help you

It was worth watchin cos it had that irish bird from bally something

were x-lite middleburn too, then?

Oooops sorry, got that one wrong, will go and whip myself

Lots of middleburn bashing on here for notbkeeping up with the times, thing is they did….. With mucoff!! Started as a by line and became huge, middleburn just got sidelined..

Go where the Germans go, they love flow trails. Finale is the Morzine for Germans, and make sure you visit Nava nearby, better trails and no crowds.

My old boss, as Welsh as they cone was called Maurice Prenderghast

That ride is called ‘Il Padrino’ the daddy of all rides, there is a feature on it in the magazine a few issues back

wasn’t that bentley what flemming initially intended for bond? it’s absolutely stunning

my 8 year old vw t5 is coming to a quarter million

What hora said..

Cant advise on the aires, but i have a t5 caravelle and its classed as a high car on the ferries and tunnel

Glad you’re healing well Steve and u have sorted the live stream. C u Mon night, hopefully we can go for a strol and grab a gelato

I thought it was closed to bikes as it’s now in a national park

Excited, happy and nervous…

There is much much more to liguria than finale…. Try going westwards no mire than hour..diano marina, nava, sanremo, dolceacqua, and Molini

Maybe so mr smith, but it’s still good and i drink it in Italy 🙂

You do need to come over blobby, 20 years is a long time…

I have the good fortune of living in italy and 1 euro at the bar just a minute away.

Only places in Italy that have these are waiting rooms or someone who lives too far from a bar…

If he is so controlling, how did she get pregnant by another man?

I have them on my enduro 29er, Im a vuide in Molini and they are pntheir seco d 8 month season, I havent touched them, still true and no dings in the rim

There must be kryptonite involved in this film, otherwise how the **** can batman go against superman

It’s a lovely sonny morning here on the Riviera, just like yesterday morning… about time as the MS has always been cold and wet!!
