    Lightness Revisited - A 172 Cup Adventure.

    Lightness Revisited - A 172 Cup Adventure.

    Ed,, Just got to say the 172 looks stunning, poss a little too good to thrash up the Harewood hill... Maybee something to contemplate is a remap to help remove some of the "grumpy" nature when cold...And poss extract a few more horses from the pony under the bonnet... There was a company...
