I don't friggin' know, I'm not an annorak.

Tunnie was boring me one day between the differences between early facelift Elite wheels, and MV6 wheels, and how that you only get....  ....then I lost the will to live, so wasn't sure of the outcome ;D

Personally, I preferred the prefacelift MV6 wheels, as per my avatar, but they did not suit my driving style  :'(

Lovely part of the world. :y

Porlock hill is very steep and has a nasty bend about half way up. I'm surprised that an arthritic old "R reg" made it to the top without overheating....... ::) ::) ::) ::) ;)

It's fun in a Westfield, if you can get a clean run up, as is Countisbury hill. I think I surprised the driver of a series Landy last time I was there. The speed differential must have been "quite significant". ;D

There's big sign at the bottom, IIRC, that says "unsuitable for caravans" or something similar .... and you are advised to take the toll road ..... the day we went that way there was an accident on the toll road .... so Mr Plod asked if I thought I could get up the other way ..... "might be a struggle" he said ...

The old 2.5 MFL was tugging 1600 Kgs of well loaded 'van ... but she got up there without too much effort .... although the temp gauge was starting to move .. so heater went onto full hot to assist ......  :)
