Passed my CBT today. I'm finally legal on my C90. 

Next up were the wheels and tyres.  @UltraWomble had some wheels that were the same as the ones on the car, just in much better nick.  He kindly held onto them until I was in the area on work and a deal was done.  I had the centre caps on the original wheels.  The new wheels sat in my garden until I had the cash for some part worns.  (Yes, I know)
The tyre shop I use is only about 20 minutes walk from me, but I couldn't get all four wheels in the boot.  I did what any sensible person would do and put them in a wheelbarrow and strapped them together.  Suffice to say the wheels and tyres that came off the car were shagged:


The tyres reminded me of these two fellers:

And the damage to the rim was odd.  The kids wanted a tyre swing for the garden, I was happy to oblige, after all I had the tyres.  All I needed was something to pop one of them off the rim.
Ah-hah!

A bit of pushing with a forklift against a very sturdy brick wall at work had them popped off nicely.  Some work with a couple of crowbars and we had a tyre off, ready for swing action. 
Rear bearing next, they are pressed into the drum on these, after bashing the old one out for hours, I made brake drum pie in the oven...
and wheel bearing dessert in the freezer...

And the drone was gone!  The front was up next.  There was a weird oscillation which matched road speed coming from the front NS and I despite a bit of sleuthing and a new set of wheels and tyres, it remained.  I couldn't work out what it was.  A hub assembly from a scrapper was almost as cheap as a new bearing.  So I took the risk.

It's Copaslip on the glove, honest.  That solved the oscillating, notchy feeling so it was probably the bearings that were stuffed.  There was no rumbling noise before, odd.

Is it a Bird?  Is It a plane?  No, it's Gloveman, the most hygenic superhero ever.
 

Load of miserable buggers on here like @twosmoke300 and @sierraman pointing out the obvious like "how much?" And "metros are shit".  I concur.
Get it fucking bought lad 👍😁

Had a trip down here yesterday. Thornton le Dale is a lovely little village and well worth a look. Derreck's a nice bloke too and took time out to chat to the visitors.

It's Leyland festival In my home town, some nice classics on show... And a probe

Theres a 'lassa' budget on the front offside , i remember Rob mentioning this in one of his videos.

MOT season started.  1 down, 3 to go
Panda up next 

Well done that man.
Ignore the doomsayers, last time I checked it says Autoshite above the door not pistonheads.
Chodspeed!

Eh? Surely the spacing between the J and 2 should be the same as the spacing between the C, X and M? The only difference in spacing would be between the 2 and C?
