Red, Brown, Black.... all three make a good mix

Cleared the office out a few times this afternoon afterwards

Mick don't forget you'll need to get another new one on the other side so they match correctly on that axle unless its quite recent...

Crickey! Well, i lost my colon back in Feb 09... 3 major ops later, the last one a year ago last week!

Will Do CTC

Mick, just seen your post, but IMO if you replace a tyre on the axle the other should be replaced as well so the tread is the same hieght as otherwise you are running 2 different sized tyres and placing more wear on the diff

Its not much but if you think about it over how many 1000's of miles it soon adds up and yes i know they roll different around corners but there is also the braking issue when 1 tyre is more worn than the other and it pulls to the grippiest side....

Now that shes got a little en on the way safety first and all!! Dont forget to start looking for the rubber corners for all your tables and so forth, its always fun sticking them on when they start crawling  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Spoke with the tyre fitter guy and he said there is no need to do that on this type of vehicle ...

Rescued it from Cheltenham, left lights on yesterday when I parked it, not surprisingly flat battery when I got back 12 hours later...

Had the 4 tyres fitted and tracking sorted but did not bother getting the aircon re gased as I was in there for ages as it was, so thats next on my list, unless something breaks again! Reformed

Took wifey and the orphans out for a spotette of lunch with some friends at a pub / restaurant place in Virginia Water.

Nice place. There were four other FF's in the carpark and a white RRS. Clearly patrons with good taste. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

Posted a few comments on this forum from the living room floor- F*&^&$*ng back went again yesterday (old injury from a scrum collapsing on me years ago) can't move. still looking at my shiny new camera waiting to be fitted! Missing better half's cousin's wedding today too.

Rubbish- no codeine or Xepams either!

That said; KP & CTC There's nothing like perspective!! I'm clearly luckier than I'd care to think about.

@KP REALLY hope it works out. keep us posted, @Craig- Harsh times buddy- hope you're through it for good!

Think Joni Mitchell had it about right, too easy to get wrapped up in minutiae without looking at the bigger picture and what you actually DO have.

Went to Co-op and came out to find someone scraping my passenger front door with their bumper. Ironically right on the flared out bit that was making me want to change the door. Didnt look too bad and was resigned to just letting the guy off but actually its through to the bare plastic on the trim and has chipped the front of the rear door too so looks like I shall have to contact him and his insurers and get it all sorted.
Bloody carparks!

Went to the folks in law to pick up pestilence and disease, then zipped over to warrington, on the way the viscous fan locked up in the ON position dropped kids off at my folks and then after checking it wasn't a boost hose holing ran over to wrecsam and dropped off some machines to Andy from the RRS site, then back to warrington and some running about there and then finally back to donny.

Jeepers the M62 is horrible there must be about 20miles if not more of 50mph zone roadworks without a single fecka at work

Got home and found out the hospital have been working double time and despite being told it would be at least 2-3weeks for an appointment (would have fallen outside of my shift pattern on some days off nicely) i've been booked in for this coming friday afternoon and to phone on monday to confirm it i really hope this ISN'T a bad sign!!!

so far all my running about and rushing has covered 280 miles to just over 1/2 a tank and a lot was at 80 and a fair m62 chunk at 50
Got her washed by a fire station when visiting the folks as they were raising money for charity, nice when the hose was soaking the car as even on light power the car soon gets soaked!, arches were cleaned well but now are caked again!

The sound of the engine with that fan on all the time scares the pants out of me over 2.5k rpm as i think the fan is going to overspeed and split apart and cause grief so tend to keep the revs down  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
