Default Some pics from the Lakes!

Was up in Arnside, Cumbria from the 24th, until this morning.

Went for a drive, and decided to get some photos. I've recently swapped my 17s, for the 15s you see on it now, and my god, my car LOVES B roads. No worrying about scraping, and catching things, just corners like it's on rails!

The photos came out SHAT, so I've had a little play in Paintshop Pro just to brighten them up a little.

Oh, and the roads are awesome up there, really windy and fast in parts.

Wicked fun, Grandparents live up there, so it's good to test the car out every once in a while!

Not really mate, 15s are the biggest change, on a track day on the 6th Jan, so we'll see how she fairs!

Drives loads and loads better too, feels more responsive, turn in is nice and light, and changes direction very quickly!

Welcome to my world Dan! Glad you had the chance to enjoy it a bit, and there are some nice pics there, like the one taken from behind looking down the road The roads here are great, but the ones I found when going to the North Yorks RS Regional Day from Preston this summer, then from there on up home to here were just incredible, you'd love them!





Good roads are great, but when you have scenery like that to enjoy as well, those are the days that turn from fun into magical

You know you've had fun when your wheels are blacker than the tyres!



You'll have to come up again some time, we'll take the cars out for a good old blast somewhere

Will do, but you see your end is miles away, Arnside is only 50 minutes on a good day.

Good roads though!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Headed towards Gisburn , then over towards Settle , over the back roads passed the whitescar caves through a place called Hawes, over the Buttertubs pass, the rest is a blur , bright winter sunshine on the North yorkshire dales was like driving on top of the world

Came back to civilisation in Kendall tho, did a few hundred miles anyway and managed it all on just over half a tank of fuel because of the top tuition i was getting from an ex police driving instructor.
