Grand picture weather is a bit different today.

Thanks, Shame Met Eireann can't get it right !

Big day today for me. I‘m on board a train to drive me around 350 km west where I‘ll finally be picking up my Land Rover and drive it home.

I don‘t know if I have posted that here but we had a bit of a logistical crisis last year when I had ask a garage to replace the springs and the wrong ones were delivered. So it took ages for the right ones (I hope!) to be available and half a year has gone by.

That‘ll be a lesson to me to leave stuff like that to somebody else but I couldn’t make time to manage it myself….

Anyway. Looking forward to driving it back an will post some photos later!

(Hopefully not posted in the „What grinds my gears“ thread )

So, can you ride your bicycle on all German trains? Or does that mean you can only get on if you have a bicycle?
Or is it a refreshment car where you can get a radler?

You can bring your bicycle _and_ have a Radler!

I think you are not allowed to ride it on the train though
(Well maybe after everyone has had a couple Radlers )

As they say: on the road again

Previous owner made them. Also engine and gearbox protectors. They have a galvanising business.

 

[Guitar Mick]

That looks very clean and straight. Well done, not easy to find in that condition.

What do you gentlemen think about the ride height with the new springs?
Looks right?

I'm guessing she's on standard springs not parabolic's, as they (parabolic's) tend to make the vehicle sit higher.

Yes, that is correct. Close to original made by Jones Springs UK.
