We love ours. Keep it at a farm about 15 mins drive from home, bring it home the day before we go off to load up, no probs. I’m 6’2″ and have no difficulty with the (main) bed size or ceiling height. A Mongdeo diesel will happily tow on motorways at, ahem, 60……..ish, with enough grunt to ovetake trucks. Never towed before? Don’t worry, you soon pick it up………..providing you have reasonable spacial awareness! Clarkson’s worst nightmare – a caravaner who cycles – ace! 😛

Ugly as but way comfy.

You can have my Mongdeo TDi for £3k. 😉

Specialized Purgatorys, end of…….or maybe a Butcher, upfront. Spesh tyres are absolute bargains for the money.

I’ve gone from F/S 120mm (26″ wheels) to H/T 29er – don’t miss the F/S at all.

Oh and remember the feelings you have now when he first comes home drunk/crashes your car/costs you an arm and leg at Uni…………..and rides on 2 wheels, unaided, for the first time. 🙂

My wishes, prayers, mantras and love is with the 3 of you.
Certainly puts “what tyres for the Gobi Desert” concerns into perspective.
Good luck to you all.

Top lad, Neil.
Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones.

They carried them
To the flatlands
And they died along the way
But they built up
With their bare hands
What we still can’t do today.

Also in market for similar car. Was wondering about a Golf 1.4 TSI…..

That would be an ecumenical matter.

Soks the Younger is home from Uni for the weekend and is insisting that I allow him to buy me beer – first ones since 6th Jan. It would be rude not to. 🙂

Hell, yes.

Spesh Ground Controls.

Complete bathroom design and installation in Leeds

Ben’s a good lad…………….and he rides MTB, too.

glomerulus or derivations thereof

– sound like Channel 9 announcer from the Fast Show. Can be a bit awkward when a sizeable amount of my work comes via the renal unit.

*comes back in from mancave* Just measured my TT and it’s 24.5″.

I’m on a Large SL1 and it’s absolutely spot on, for me, bearing in mind that I’m 6’2″, 34″ inseam and have simian arms. Shame your “Northern” visa has expired or you could have tried it for size. 😉

Bikes. Mrs Sox won’t entertain the idea of cycling. 😐
Butterflies and moths.
Clowns.

Always commute to work. Direct route is 3 miles but usually do an 11 mile road loop or 7 mile “urban, off-road” loop. Sets me up for the day/calms me down on the way home. 🙂

Regret selling custom painted, rigid, S/S Inbred to fund the F/S that I thought I needed. Stupid, stupid, stupid. 😳

jekkyl – SITTING DOWN!!!!???? Nah, can’t do “sitting down”. The postie idea sounds good, though.

I’ve been in the NHS for over 30 yrs…… 😉

Funnily enough, Soks senior was a postal worker – I remember the 11 week strike in the 70’s when he was a union rep. *shudders*

‘kin ‘ell! 😯 😀

The Soks offspring all went to a (good) state secondary school.
SFO1 has a 1st in both her BSc and MSc and is currently studying for a PhD.
SFO2 is currently a senior retail manager (not bad for a 23yr old, by all accounts).
SMO is in his final year at Uni and predicted a 1st.
All of them are born leaders – private edukashun? Pft!!!

The joy of being the worst roadie who ever lived was that I could just fit whatever I wanted to mine, that being a Spoon, which was perfect. I am such a rebel.

+1 – also fitted PM520’s and wear MTB shoes….

Move to Cumbria, ride my bikes, walk the fells and drink beer. This could be happening before the end of this year……………. 😀

Methinks Putin doth protest too much…..I mean, those macho publicity shots…………Russian member of the Village People or what?
