That and never seeing a gritted road. I think that is the biggest difference.

That has to make a difference, and the damper climate doesn't help I'm sure.
Even so amazing mileage achieved with the originals
Good maintenance must be contributed to such high mileage without a doubt,

A bit of cleaning and polishing on another impulse buy
Has now been put away for winter and will be something to tinker with next year. Quick tidy and sort out in the shed ready before I pull the covers off these two. Plan is to build one very nice storm out of the two.
