I had a very 'pressing on' impressive poster on my bedroom wall.... BMW 3coop, Sytner red/silver.... Slicks, coming over/dropping a neat curve WITH 3 tyres showing air!! Never owned a beemer but DEFFO have felt 3 air gaps, when caning my 998 IMP ๐๐ฅ Ahhhh..... feel better for that ๐๐จ -
A Future For Handsome? Fighting me all the way...

@eddyramrod.. "those "decent roads" are surprisingly sparse! If you can find one, it's at least half an hour away, full of cyclists, tourists or tractors, and very likely littered with roadworks". As WVM I used to 'do' Barrow every so often ๐. Newcastle/Penrith/M6/and across. If I was feeling chilled/time spare = Carlisle then Workington and down, could properly wind it up down the coast [*tractors allowing ๐] ...... It is a Long, LONG way.... ๐ -

..... Speaking of Water Companies ๐ฎ. South Shields had piped water mains 'non fluoridated'.... North Shields had it 'fluoridated'. Health statisticians have taken such a closely/divided population, and extrapolated dental health/lack of... from this fact. *I'm from South Shields ๐

My 'totally embarrassing ' fail vs. Oil filter ๐คฆ ... was resolved by my m9, the oily spanner, just around the corner. No charge = box of bikkies from me (.. and everlasting shame!) Good to have a line into a friendly garage (* price are negotiable ๐) ๐๐จ -

Hmm... As reported earlier, well actually in my Swift thread, 'foggy plastic lenses' are making the (now the clocks have changed) lights on MrGetz... literally $hite ๐ฎ.

There has been hellish banging of pipework/ladders in yard/'boiler-safe' van in back lane = to reckon a new combi has gone in for our upstairs neighbours (+ a shite white smallbore pipe has been run above our kitchen window & cut into their kitchen sink/w.mach down pipe ๐๐๐) She doorstepped me today and warned "... mind the backboiler still has to come out!" ๐ตโ๐ซ ALSO.... "We have leak in the felt/flat roof & roofer said 'fkt M9! @ยฃ7.5k' " ๐ฏ Shared leasehold/both own each flat = shared bills...... ?

Well.... Good to see everyone's curiosity burning away here ๐.. I will take the lid and cut it off, into a square piece, then chop out a 'letterbox' = equal to the high section of ally casting, sticking up from the foot. I will tape the tin plate close to the profile of the foot with gorilla tape.... I will then hacksaw the alloy [sticking through] into a sequence of slices/cut sequentially across horizontally... the tinplate will *guarantee I don't cut into the foot profile & ruining the finish ๐๐ A smidge of Dremel action will reduce any bobbles to a 100% flat plain face, and I may use the existing tapped holes for the securing Csk screws, holding the mounting flat face plate.... We Will See ..... ๐ ๏ธ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ
