Edinburgh (not so)newbie

Post by grittle » Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:26 pm

An early 111R Touring. Got it a week ago and done 250 miles. Love it, especially the steering and the pedal box - a joy to drive (but you knew that).

Thanks for the advice on insurance.

Er, yes.

Outside. Yup. Trees. Yup. Lake? I think not :lol: Reservoir more like. Gladhouse, south east of Penicuik. Some nice roads round there.

Prime parking spot was taken by an old Land Rover, but still got some nice pics

The feeling doesn't wear off... :drive

I thought the only good insurance advice was 'bend over'? :scratch

Yes, it was mine... it's on a rinse a day at least to keep the dirt off. I like my whites, err, white not grey.
