Blair to St just Was A Success (pics)

[The Lang-Shankit Scunner]

Well just got back home after my 1,700 mile round trip. From here in Scotland down to cornwall. Truck went absolutely flawlessly, and returned 29mpg with my veg kit (100%). Yes ive gone over the figures repeatedly, that is what i got at a constant 60mph for 540 miles.

Anyway I popped in to see Richard (stormforce) and John (slim) was there too. It was my first attempt at proper laning but thoroughly enjoyable, aside from splitting a hose and dumping some tranny fluid.

Anyway heres some of the pics and a few seconds of video (if i can post it) which is very blurry but you get the idea.

Nice and tame to brake me into it, and bearing in mind i had a 675 mile home ward trip it had to be. Was a gas, and i got completely ripped to pieces for having a very very shiny truck, after we went through a few mud baths mine was still pristine from all the waxing, of course this provoked more hilarity

Best afternoon ive had in a long time

A bit of bonding stuff cos the bolt rusted and my bulge departed the truck at 65 mph on an overtake

Nice and stylish temporary fix

I wouldnt mind going down there and doing those lanes.... but that would mean buying fuel
