After 40 000 km time comes to change tires. Michelins had sides of tires wored out after too many trips to our farm in mountains.
I changed to 215/65R16 MAXXIS MA-P1/ Fit fine.

 But as wife took over my car I had to get this runabout which fits all 4 dogs, 4WD

 

 

Re-posting this from other tread I posted to. I think these photos will be more appropriate here

 

We went to Nan-Ao small town in the mountains of Taiwan, just 40 km away but it takes about 1.5 hour to drive on those twisty narrow roads, and it slows down even more when stack behind big heavy loaded lorry. But 2.0TDI is amazing, helps to pass cars on those short open stretches of the road.

We went to Hot springs deep in the mountains. And 3 days before in Taiwan we had big typhoon so many roads were flashed away. At one passage we actually were waiting  for excavator to finish make by-pass road in front of us. 
Yeti is a lovely monster, good on and off road.

 

 

 

Hi all

Skoda convert since getting my octy back in 2013. Decided to swap for a yeti as I love cars with character! Only the 1.2 tsi but it is surprisingly nippy and an SEL spec as I had to have the led daytime running lights! Only other extra was the wheels. It's now my little monster truck!!!

Very pleased to be joining the club!!

Well, welcome to you Bono141.  :yes:

Thanks macdemon. I'll upload some pics as soon as I get some with a low enough filesize.

Here's the pics. Thought I'd better keep them scenic and in keeping with the rest of the forum!

Very nice! Is that Metal Grey or whatever it's called these days? Quartz Grey?

Thanks! It's Quartz grey with the Matterhorn alloys. Quite a nice combination imo.

It is indeed an excellent combination

Loving this thread , I must take some pics of mine 

Just a couple from our drive out today .

 

Great colour can't wait to get our new one, enjoy.

New Yeti. Hoping it is more reliable than the last one!

I think mine is one of those that looks different colours in different lights too

I agree, mine is the same colour and it looks both black and dark speckly brown in different light.

A couple of the snow monster in his natural daily habitat, parked in his space at work. Two weeks off from this weekend so I'll be busy with the polish and wheel dressing..!

Very smart!

That empty carpark are you self employed  or has it just eaten the others?

Ha, ha, it scared the others away. The guys next to me are off site.

Thread resurrection time as I wanted to share a pic of my new (to me) 2016 Snow Monster.

 

 

Shoot day with my dogs and the yeti in the background 

 

this car is very good off-road even though it’s onky 2 wheel drive 

liking the pair of twin tail pipes (presume the offside is dummy?)

also the black wheels look right on the Jungle Green but probably less so on my Magnetic Brown.  

IMO my Origami wheels (two posts above) are the least attractive feature of an otherwise great car - slightly OTT blingy

No i had a custom made exhaust system fitted

It isn't always this dirty, honestly. I blame living in the Brecon Beacons...
