F - the Peak District
F - the Peak District
Thought I'd catch a little bit of dry weather today, but looked out of the window at 1030 and the rain was coming down, but thought what the heck !
did a 100 mile return run into the base of peak district and back.
scoped out a route, and wow, the B5056 from just north of Ashbourne up to where is meets the A6 is just amazing !
its 16 miles of pure B road blast. did it both ways, so 32 miles of pure enjoyment (except when you are behind a Vectra!)
Will be a great route to do at 6/7am when its quiet.
Great road, tight twists and lots of elevation and interesting road. Definitely a new favourite of mine I'll be returning to.
Only down side was its a 50mph road. to be fair, with 550PS through the rear wheels I wasn't going much over that but I can imagine in the dry you will be at risk of unwanted attention. a break of dawn run would be advised.
The F is really quite surprising in the wet. You can really hustle it along without it tying to kill you, but rest assured it will gladly do so with a small prod of the right foot at the wrong time.
anyhow, time for some pics

Re: F - the Peak District
Still love it, but wonder if the calipers would look better in a different colour?

I just won't use it in the snow or minus temps which isn't a hardship in England

cheers dude
no way, i love the yellow cali's .... makes the ceramics stand out a mile and they are super rare as no one in their right mind has spec'd the £8.5k ceramic & forged wheel option, so only JLR cars seem to have this option, so makes them really rare in the wild
