I understand your pain. My wife and I (newly weds at the time) were stationed with the US Navy in Holy Loch, Scotland from 1990 to 1992 when the deactivated the base, ans shipped everything home. The weather here in Kodiak, Alaska is very similar to the weather in Scotland, though we do get a bit more snow than Dunoon did. In the early 1990's we were paying the equivalent of $6 per gallon in the Highlands, and $4.50 to $5 per gallon in the towns. That is converted to US Gallons vice Imperial Gallons, but I do understand! We drove a 1976 Saab then, as our American cars were too costly to insure and to drive in Scotland, not to mention that the Left hand right hand thing was also a pain... Being 25 at the time didnt help the insurance thing either...

But your country is very beautiful to visit, just need to plan to do things in the rain, because if you wait for a dry day, you may not do anything...

it will give a ex lover a chance to scoop it up cheap after the drive neglects it to the point it dont work or appeal to them anymore.. so it can be a good thing too. our looked like it was owned by someone that didnt give a damm so we got a deal on it also.

 

Ha! love that....so know what you mean. Have to sit on your hands and make yourself "let it go", can't drive around looking for "Excursions to rescue'!

 

Yes, Excursions to rescue! Ah well. Gotta take care of mine now. Off to get that free warranty tire!

 

Free warranty, gotta love that

 

Its a bit crazy really, I've travelled to all sorts of country's, driven I don't know how many miles, but still only been to Scotland on a flying visit! I will take the family there soon though as the Edinburgh zoo have Pandas we want to see

And yeah, I used 3.78 litres to convert into a US gallon instead of 4.546 for Imperial gallon, then used $1.6 to £1...............did it a few times as thought it must be wrong hahahaha!

Joking aside it is a great place to live - My Wife and I do say even if we win the lotto, we'd still live here, and just travel places in the school holidays! We've visited the USA a lot over the years, not so much the last few years due to flight prices and 3 kids getting older and more expensive (13,11, and 8) and we're both still fairly young (33 and 32) so there's always stuff to buy for the house etc........but when we do start flying places again Alaska is on our list!

Nope we just snuggle... when she will let me.

 

Oh snuggling. waaaaaaaaaah. Oh well, got my tire FINALLY. The guy sat my keys down before checking me out and and didn't realize it. He kept saying he gave them to me, I'm like no you didn't, maybe you have cameras in here and you can look and see if you can follow them..........3 hrs later someone figured out they sat them on top of their coke machine! I was started to get really perturbed because they kept trying to say they gave them to me! Then I finally remembered to look under my truck on the way home because it was swaying a lot again when I stop, and the rear sway bar is hanging. Did he have to disconnect that when he fixed the tank wires and dropped the tank?

 

I added this the other day.



I have not taken it on any lengthy drive yet so I have not been able to determine if it is any more quiet or performs better.

I threw down on some of this today:



20x12 Fuel Octane wheels, -44 offset
35x12.5 Nitto Trail Grappler tires

 

Those tires look kinda familiar. heh

hehe. rimjob.

 

The man in brown dropped this off.







Wish I had spare $s for a rimjob. Lol

Looks great!
