Another UK mooch...
Hi all, me again. Seeing as I'm unable to post pictures on here, have a look here instead: http://forum.difflock.com/discus/mes...tml?1144360156

Enjoy...

OK, I've checked my dictionary and 'mooch' for you guys seems to be 'to beg/steal'. Going for a 'mooch' over here is going for a wander/saunter! Maybe I should change the name of this thread to 'Another UK laning trip'!

You could change the title to that... but we don't call trail running "laning" either. I lived in England for a few years when I was a tyke and with an English Dad it is funny to see how many different terms are out there for simple things.

Nice to see what the driving is like over there though.

You have the same wheels that I do! I have only seen those wheels a couple of times. Do you know who they are made by? You have very beautiful land! I dig the old houses.

Hi James, I have no idea who makes the wheels, the only other times I see them though are on 1st Gen 4Runners, so I figure they were an optional extra back then.

I prefer coffee to tea!

Trails / lanes...... launguage is funny aint it?

Your a cool bloke. Maybe we should stop by the pub have few and check out a couple of bums, and maybe if we get lucky we could bonk a few. What do you say mate? Sorry my english isn't so great.

LOL at James (I nearly woke my wife up laughing out loud)!! I agree, let's find a bar , but I'm not happy about getting lucky with some 'homeless' people!!!

Let's crack open the Earl Grey and prepare the cucumber sandwiches.....
