Most people have the lawn outside Laughing

I was over your side a couple of weeks back, followed the A82 up to Fort William, stopped off at Firkin Point for a wander. Its the first proper run it’s had since picking it up. Quite a few new 90s out that way.

I’m just off the A811 - 16 miles west of Stirling J.
You leaving it at Lands End then? Not coming back in it? Rolling with laughter

The 110 is a fantastic motorway hauler (even with the D240 motor), more than enough go, quiet and smooth so I’m sure that the 90 will be too. Just watch the narrow lanes down in the SW, ND is nearly as wide as most of them……….

4-5 years ago I drove down to where we used to live near Hayle - a place called St Erth - in my last RRS…….. that was a bit wide for the lanes too, mind you it just ate up the main roads and motorways but was always worried about the back roads.
My grandparents owned a general store in the main drag of Carbis Bay but it was all boarded up, having a monster Tesco where their back yard used to be didn’t help business! Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

I must admit when the air con is on full blast it’s like having an airplane turbine inside the car! The noise and power of the thing is crazy!

Don’t ask me where I found it in the PriviPro but while I was trying to change another setting I found a ventilation setting that only allows the fan to “soft blow” …………….. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
