Lumbutts, the first photo?

There's a couple of good pubs over there, and  2 Stock cars (not mine) in the buildings on the right.

Spot on, it is Lumbutts. I grew up in Todmorden and used to walk those hills quite a bit in my yoof. Was nice to do it under power this time.

Got home yesterday evening after stopping over in my home town for the night. Took the big bugger for a drive over the hills that I used to walk in my youth

and then set off for the 200 mile jaunt home. 

Nothing of any consequence to report, the Exploder drives well and is as comfy as a big old Yank tank should be, although it does feel slightly less powerful than my last one but that might be my memory. There's several little issues for me to sort out (lpg system, air suspension) which is to be expected of a car this age / price etc. I might do a little thread on it if anyone's interested?
 

Obviously I couldn't help doing a couple of lanes when I got nearer home....

 

Big thanks to @NorthernMonkey for picking me up from the station and being a thoroughly pleasant chap (sorry for nearly running over your foot, he's surprisingly nimble for a big fella  ). A+ seller wud buy massive gas guzzler from again.

 

Whatever happened to this old heap? I found myself looking at pictures of it and whimpering softly the other day. Isolation's a terrible thing...
