Roadtrip

It's 80 miles from Oxford.

That's a poor road trip.

Let me know when the pair of you are coming.  I'll break out the first aid kit and recovery equipment....

:grin: I'll come to photo document the carnage. Could do with a trip to the Island myself to catch up with a few peeps.

Early MKII's have an insert setup as well. I've always swapped them out for full strut setups.
