Re: Found pics

I have never liked those Vauxhalls, they remind me of the day when I got lost at the seaside (I was but a tiny Xtriple) and I got marched around the carpark looking for my parent's car and they were everywhere!

Re: What did you do today?

No, strangely the locking nuts are fine it was just one of the standard pain in the arse wheel bolts that fucked up. It has been attacked with hammer and chisel by the mechanic at the garage who I think, thought the covers came off (they don't, they are integral) and so that nut was fooked. I bought...
