    Mmmm tempting, not sure I would want to drive it that far.
    Not really designed for a long haul, not the most comfy of things for distance.

    LOL always an adventure!!! I should find time with a bit of luck, pretty sure it won't get there and back as is, grips fine cold but once it's warm just a little abuse has it slipping like a good un, probably because I discovered the joys of kicking the clutch it a few months back!!

    How's the xe set up going?
