lol, it was fun, had a few moments but generally held it together

LOL yep thats it!

Have some photos of my old car in that exact spot somewhere.

the b6160 is a cracking road - right from bolton abbey past grassington, up past buckden.

My favourite route for the tubs is to take the 6160 all the way up to askrigg, head west on the a684, but then cut across the hills over cross top - its a one track road but its amazing. Then nip along the b6270 and finally back down the buttertubs pass.

Looks a good run, and the car ain't lookin too bad either
lol @ the passenger all wrapped up - looks like she's laughing at you out in the snow taking photos

 

[gtistevo]

loooks good mate. can i ask u where u got the renault sport sticker above ur fog lamp???

 

[Englebert]

You took your missus on a random drive? I'd never get away with that!

Think the green badges and stickers are a bit overboard, i'd have the side ones only.
