If you hadn’t commented about the mileage and covered the number plate I’d have thought it was new

    Don't you need chunky off-road tyres for Scotlandshire's roads?

    Lovely and shiny. 8) :thumbsup:

    Love the wheels. Low profile tyres on a workhorse though. That could get interesting. :)

    I'm sorry, but those wheels make it look like a 'whizz wheels' matchbox van.
    But only my opinion of course.
    If you're happy then who cares. :thumbsup:

    Thanks for all the comments. Regarding the tyres, I looked into getting chunkier ones today, but as the wheels are 20" the clearance in the arches could be an issue 🤬 I'm now thinking about selling them and going for a smaller set.

    20"? Well I have to say the van makes them look smaller than that. I take back the whizz wheels analogy. :wink:
