The Lakes.

[Christopher]

Had a road trip up to Coniston in the Lake District today, since the weather was so decent. Awesome roads up there, too... we really need to get a meet sorted sometime.

I'm still really pleased with the car since the recent work's been done, so I made sure it was clean for the journey. Despite the 250+ mile round trip, it still looks clean... gotta love Racing Blue.

Also, I set the cruise to 70mph on the motorways there and back, and saw 41mpg over the course of the journeys; not bad eh. The car feels stronger than ever and just clicked over to 78k miles on the way home.

Anyway, I took a few of the car, and a few of the scenery. Since all I seem to do nowadays is take pictures of it in industrial estates, it makes a nice change.

Oh, and haters gonna hate... the tow eye's back.

Hope you like!

Chris

[oliver.james]

Awesome awesome RB!!

 

[Gally]

Looks immense JDM.

Those wheel look crazy white, are they a diffrent shade from the last set?

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, they're 'Ultra White' with a gloss finish. They look mental in the sun.

The last set were different.

 

[Turkish]

Looking well that, just you wait til Auschwitz Robertson sees the tow eye that's like the Holocaust to him!

 

[leeds_182]

Looks like some nice scenery up there dude.

 

[Christopher]

LMAO.

 

[Christopher]

Oh, and if anyone's considering a set of Pilot Sport 3's... they're immense tyres. Gave them their first proper workout today.

Handily, they've also got a larger rim protection lip than the old PE2's.

 

[Turkish]

Learn to park you queer

 

[Nashy]

True god's county!

 

[toomer]

Awsome mate, just awsome!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Awesome scenery! I'd love to pop up there for a photography weekend.

 

[Feirny]

Looks awesome, Chris.

 

[LIL B]

Now all we need to do is PS a DC5 in there.

:race:

 

[Revels]

I'm surprised you managed to see over the wall for pics of the lake.

 

[Feirny]

I'm surprised you managed to see over the wall for pics of the lake.

He cropped the wall out.

 

[jenic]

hehehe

Looks an awesome trip though, love the lakes

 

[Christopher]

You'd love it mate. I've not been up there in years!

 

[jamier27]

Lovely pics and great roads... me and PSJ put the roof on the new bluebird cafe (just off picture on your last pic?) and at the time it was world speed record week!! that would be a seriously good time for a meet and crack as the boats were immense! And in november not too busy

 

[Christopher]

Ha, yeah we had a brew in there.

I totally agree mate. Since I got my 4 new PS3's fitted on thursday, they are superb tyres. Even better than the PE2's I think. And like you say the larger protection lip is good also.

The car looks immense as per. Love RB.

 

[JD]

Ahhhh Coniston, lovely. Next time you're up, try and get to Ullswater buddy. Even more stunning scenery.

Oh and FPM looks great

 

[Christopher]

Cheers fella

 

[ROB91]

Great pics there mate.

 

[Christopher]

A few more of the scenery...

 

[ForceIndia]

Prince f**king Albert.

 

[Christopher]

Yep, I donated it. Outgrew it, innit.

 

[Munson]

Looks good except for the nose ring. Whoever is responsible for that craze needs to be shot.

 

[Tunst]

Id have came to find you but my car currently looks like this..

If you plan a meet up here im sure some of us cumbrians could plan a good run out...

 

[Christopher]

That's taking detailing a little too far.

Si sells them, y'know, the guy that you called a 'man mountain' in that picture... biiiiiiig fella.

 

[Brett]

Looks like a really good trip. The RB is looking well.

 

[Tunst]

That's taking detailing a little too far.

At first the bonnet wouldnt open, so had to work hard to get that open by taking the grill out with the bumper on... Then i had to change a headlight bulb... i can usually do them with the light still in but i couldnt for the life of me get them out :dapprove: but it could be a good excuse to get new headlights as mine are a state :dead:

Big enough to stop a bullet?

 

[Christopher]

You'll need a .45 or more.

 

[ForceIndia]

One of those crazes I just don't get. There's a reason the tow hook arrives in the glovebox, they look awful.

 

[Fletcher]

Nice pics.

I am well overdue another trip to the Lakes, great place :approve:

 

[Christopher]

F*cking cold yesterday though! You can see the ice on the front of our hire boat. It wasn't above freezing all day.
