Title: 1st Big Drive
Post by: spacekid2009 on 22 January 2010, 21:58:13

Got my Omega in Dec, now it's about to go on a journey, Manchester to Cork and back, Checked all levels etc and everything's fine, so this will be 1st real test for it, but afterall, that's what i bought it for, got sick of doing big trips in the Vito.

v6 survival kit, an hbv and a crank sensor. Mile munching is what the omega was built for. Look out for the pot holes over there though, the cold weather has done their already bumpy roads no good at all.

Did a cycling holiday in 1994 starting off the ferry in Cork, then along the south then west coast to Killarney then back to Cork....

Lovely part of the world and people so friendly they waved to us as we cycled past their houses.......!!
