Off Topic Recalls (not players)

Car of choice in Swansea Clingo. In case the horse drawn caravan breaks down.

 

Cheers BfB.

 

Just got back in from Sainsburys - that's about as far off road as I go pal.........

 

Other than having to travel to Jackland, there was one other downside I've just noticed to the recall trip yesterday.

Checking the paperwork and the Vehicle Health Check items were all "green" passes with no "red" must do actions required, but there were a couple of "ambers". Both rear tyres are amber advisories with a thread depth of 2.4mm (legal minimum of 1.6 mm) - probably good enough for a couple of months at most but a must to change before the winter.

Just checked them out. Pirelli (not Peroni ) 315 x 35 x R20 P Zero runflats at £330 a corner. Thats nearly 700 Peronis.....

 

I suppose 35s are ok if you're not going off road.
But if youre not going off road, why have a 4x4?

I drive my audi A4 across fields. Not long got to mam's after taking it 3 miles up a dirt track around Claerwen reservoir. Under tray git scraped a few times.
My daughter's Ford Ranger with all terain tyres is good off road.
For off off road, select low range, engage 4wd and lock the diff on the Ford 7840. Let the 6.6litre straight 6 rumble away.

420/85R38 on the back of that. 1750 peronis a piece.

 

Yeah, but it's not as good as a transit van is it.
Gawd. If only I knew what I was talking about.

 

Transits can be made to do all sorts of things.
Wonderful vehicles.

 

I dread to think what proportion of my life I've spent inside them

 

In various stages of inebriation, no doubt.

 

Can't remember!

 

Lost me after 3rd line.

 

You did better than me I thought going off road meant that you'd crashed!
