I would go for a full sized spare, a 12v compressor and a can of flat fix, that should ensure you don't need to use any.

Print the receipt for the application of your French clean air sticker, as this is accepted the same as the sticker by French traffic enforcement officers

Needed a few* bricks for a little* job in the garden. Remembered that next door but one neighbour had a cellar and garage full (left by the previous, complete class I cunt who lived there) so had a word about a few last week.
Today, looked at the wheelbarrow and thought fuck it, got a better idea.

Same colour but self propelled. Unfortunately unlike a wheel barrow I had to hoover it afterwards as I couldn't tip the dust out of the boot.

Actually attended my first car show in a year, never felt like it since my partner passed away. Shows were always something we did together so it seemed a bit weird without her. Just a little local show which my mate I used to work with pretty much forced me to attend. Had a good few hours and the bx looked good in the sunshine. My favourite car of the day was a Daimler dart parked a few cars down. Completely forgot to take any photos though so you can have just the one, naturally of my bx that my mate sent me.

Well that answers the question on another thread about if they sink at both ends.

My BX estate used to stick in the up position on the rear, then drop at the slightest provocation once left off for a while...

I dropped the suspension when I parked it to be in with the cool kids😂 The rear drops first on my so you end up with a California squat look which is never good

Having used it as a wheelbarrow yesterday I noticed the rust on the nearside was getting worse

Decided to treat it whilst using up the bricks

Looks a bit better.
