IDGM Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Make sure you take some fruit and veg with you. Rickets and Scurvy are back in fashion in East Lancashire, Gordon Burns on the telly said so. And the speed limit on the Grane is 50mph, so no loony driving!

IDGM Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Anyway, the Dukes of Haslingden don't carry guns (not that a McGard will stop a 9mm cap), they just fight in the street to settle the "you're not marring my sister, I am" arguements.

twisty b-road Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 They dont come as standard on the carThey should have done, though in practice they didn't.The dealer should have fitted them as part of pre-delivery, but most dealers seemed to "forget" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyP Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I doubt you should worry mate.On the end of the day people that are going to go through the hassle of stealing the wheelswill be looking for shiney large wheels (e.g M5 wheels) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
