Re: EBay Finds
I normally like whitewall tyres, but they are abusing them there!

Re: What did you do today?
Had another go at the driver's seat. I used the old colour (the new stuff hasn't arrived yet) and while not perfect, it's 'perfect' enough to not annoy me. I am now waiting for delivery of an £18 bottle of dye that I no longer need/want. Think if the weather is nice again (today it was glorious, not...

Re: What did you do today?
I decided that the colour of the leather repair I did to the Jag a while ago, was too white. So asked on the Jag forum and there appear to be two colours with the same code...mine isn't the common one naturally. So I ordered a very small amount of the alternative which arrived today. My car is 'Barl...

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!

Do the front as a bare minimum. I'm with you; cannot stand a wheel off-centre, it drives me nuts.

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...

4 more. 5 bolts per wheel on Jags as I'm sure you are aware as your 308 is the bloody same!

Re: What did you do today?
I actually did something! I received the new wheel bolts for the Jag yesterday so I charged up the impact driver that I have had for years and never used and went out and changed one wheel bolt! It was a struggle to be honest as the old one was mullared and I had to come inside and find an 18mm sock...

Re: Found pics
Strangely, I've never liked flared arches on MK2's or Wolfrace wheels for that matter. Coombes arches and wider spoked wheels, yes indeed!
