back again.... that was a nice one
cheers to all for congrats etc. now am genuinely in the club..
keep finding toys that i didn't know where on there..
by the way, if anyone is looking to buy a ducati (new) then you should do it quick as the prices are set to go up nearly 20% as of march 1st.
same goes for snowboard kit,, Burton kit will go up upto 30% next winter (that's nearly £500 for a custom...)
if you want more info let me know..

Well done, lad! Good colour  - it looks different in different lights, too.
And I reckon it attracts less attention from the ecomentalists, too. They reckon it IS a proper LandRover in that colour
PS - What colour is the Permagrin man?  2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods

if you want next years colour of t6 then you'll pay handsomely for it,, best plan is to buy this years now in the sale as next years is the same but different colour...

well i guess it'll be no suprise that i've not been here since i picked up my permagrin inducer
so far have done all the usual but didn't want to post a boring pic so have just christened it in the brown stuff,
4 hours of green laning later have had both axles nicely crossed up and have some pics too, although they're at night, am just getting them uploaded and will post,
was amazed how well normal road tyres handled a ploughed field of thick mud....
have now tested all the settings to make sure they work, the hill dessent is a little noisy but think that's down to the previous owner doing the school run and never switching in on...
All in all an awesome bit of kit,,,,,, very happy... have now got some good green lanes in cornwall near newquay

new pics posted, found a great old quarry near truro that's got some good climbs and drops in it,
also found there are LOADS of legal green lanes around here...just need to use the right website to find them

I just looked at OS map for Truro, and you do indeed have a lot of byways round there, most look pretty short, and are probably just farm tracks, but plenty for you to explore

the lots of short tracks yes, http://www.trailwise.org.uk/ is a good site to find them anywhere (guess you know that anyway). seems the best bits down here are the area's where they dumped the slag from the mines... was where we were today, not naughty to drive there and plenty to challenge and play on for me anyway

ad15, Give me a shout if you want some company ... any excuse to go laning is good enough for me 
Can't say as I know of many lanes around here, but there's a few.
Many of those on the maps aren't suitable for D3 (only footpath width) or have been closed. Sounds like you've found Baldhu though Long succession of Disco's since 2001...
