'New' 172 enjoying the snow

[rory182]

Well my motorcycle test was cancelled today due to about 3-4" inches of snow since yesterday afternoon.

So I made the most of the snow and got some pics of the new to me 172 which I picked up yesterday from AJR Motorsport in H-Burgh

In retrospect some of the roads I drove up for pictures were a bit daft TBH lol but hey ho I didn't prang it.

Number plate transferred today too so will have my plates on it ASAP

Was all set to go over the top of the Campsie fells (where the supermarket bottled water comes from) but decided that would be a bad idea lol

 

[Tigger]

Nice pics Rory, the posh headlights would of made them so much better though

[Ally]

LOL at the snow pics, good stuff

And it certainly didn't seem shy on the couple of (short) occasions you booted it last night - I was behind sh*tting myself as usual in the RWD chariot...

Nah it's from Lennoxtown bout 15 miles north of glasgow. Supplies all the supermarkets someone on here works for them Daviebroon perhaps can't remember!

Yeah it pulls well, I'm happy with it its well run in.

I didn't boot it for 3 reasons last night:

1. It was -1c and snowing
2. Its been about 14 months since I had power steering
3. You'd feel obliged to drive fast in the cold wet in your first RWD

:rasp:
