Yes, it's had a recall as the rear reflector doesn't have the required luminesence

My wifes has had the recall too, not bothered getting it sorted yet as it's a 3 hour round trip.

I've done a few of the rallymoto events, good fun and while you don't need to go fast you can't hang around too much either. I've been wondering about doing a fun event or two but I didn't want to fall foul of insurance etc so I've not bothered. Maybe a group of friends can get away with taking turn...

Now you can follow the rover ! https://www.facebook.com/NASAPersevere/ I like the intro on the left. "Hobbies include photography, collecting rocks and off-roading". That first pic of the landing site is from a small checking camera. Once it all gets booted up, the photos of its explorati...

Yes I've watched you "never" falling off Dave

I never thought of my 950 as a design classic, it was as ugly the day I sold it as when I bought it.
While the T7 isn't pretty it's better looking in the metal than the 950/990.
As they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Had a 950 a few years ago and now me and my wife share a T7, I'll agree with most of Bobs assesment apart from the front suspension on the 950, I fitted harder front springs to mine which made the front end much better off road. If I was given a choice between a new 950 Adv & a T7 today I'd be r...
