Canny run out today, after pub lunch!

Marsden (by Standedge Canal Tunnel)
Over and past The Saddleworth Hotel
Delph
Onto A672, over Saddleworth Moor
Elland
Birstal

Christ on a bike.... Some 1:4 and hairpins!!

Really sensed a lengthening brake pedal (constantly in tranny lockdown 😱) and the 'smell of death' wisping up from the discs 😵.

When we finally returned to Tesco, to buy a bite for supper, I sizzled my fingers on the front ally spokes..... Gahhhh 😮

Nice trickle 'over t'ills ' far & away....

Keighley & Worth Valley Railway 👌👍

Had a very relaxed [... and turkey baked] trundle out today.

Sowerby Bridge (Tuel Lane lock)
& along Calder Valley...
Hebden Bridge
Todmorden
Littleborough
Milnrow
&M62 back.

Y'know... for a guy thrashing his works van from A to B these places, dotted along the valley, will just be ' bloody queues!'.....

Taking it more sedately, however, there are old mills [the canal is always by the road] and the railway, commanding a large chunk of the little valley bottom left - massive stone arches forcing themselves into/over the road.

Very impressive...

Never seen the Pyramids 🤔, "all that history" >> nah, gimmie Industrial Revolution every time.... We have our pyramids 🏆😎

Well.... It's not quite so bad IF we keep plenty face vent/draughty windows, whilst tootling along....

Town/roadworks [.... lots!😟 ] gets the Turkey Roast 'full on' 🌡️🥵

Bradford Industrial Museum...

Excellent place and knowledgeable people on the featured sections.

Sadly, NO STEAMING 😟 ..... unlike us @30°C

Just an 'end of term' report.... 870miles, not a drop of oil used/water/TX pink.

Stormed up from Leeds at a truly 'zoomy/throbb/throbb' 68.... Traffic nicely spaced + no jams.

MOT due 07/09.. We will find out what that £30 CAT has managed in a year 🤔

👌 .... 🚙💨

Strange fact (... I izz cock 😟)......

SuziQ has 'plastic headlights' = the 'amber dimming of death' is becoming visible... FCUK.

Not MOT issue *yet.

Polishing will be happening 🦸

Posted

Imagine the carpark look back factor when those placca lights are white sand exotic beach water clear ,,,phwoar!

Posted

Will be following this process......

+ Mouse polisher cloth pad (to save elbow grease!) 😎

That's lovely but not a daily surely. Keep the one you've got and have that as a toy?

@Matty.... No, one car at a time (street/permit parking) 😮

Y'know.... For a grand, 2yr no FTP, no rust & having spent about £200 in consumibles+ large hatch/5 door arse end 😵🤔....

There's no way I could get that much of a laugh [yupp.... STILL flooring it @lights 😂😂] for as little... and be happy the car is 100% top banana 💞👌

No Fu##kin Way is it getting chopped in 👁️

Well...... Clean ✔️

*Tyres... However 🧐

ATS can look again @tracking?

Seems well dodgy to me, given only driven 15k - even on our apocalyptically bomb holed roads 😟

ATS *argued 20k is max for 'Landsail' brand 🤨

However, as a 'freebie', he will re-check my tracking when fitting my 4 new tyres @£200 all in 👍

As my alloys will be removed, for tyres on Monday....  I decided to have a go at the brake grime, using the [I believe it is TFR..] stuff I got a while ago.

I gave each wheel two doses, around 5min soak. 4/1 water in a spray bottle...

After picking at flaky 'plasti-sill coating' when SuziQ was up on the MOT lift.....

I'm popping into Toolstation for some more of this....

IMG_20220903_233236.jpg

Less than £5 a tin and I schooshed some over ToMM© nether regions, looked good and tacky + smearry = spray on and forget (... for another year 😵)

NEXEN 175/70-14 tyres.... Not as 'square shouldered' as the Landsail.

Tracking was tweaked.....

Good good 🚙💨

'Real World' tyre opinion.... 🍾🏆

The balance is spot on... I was getting the dreaded 'wrist jiggle'@67 prior = now creams it through to 85 *officer😱

Will see 'wear patterns' over the next 10k but nice enough 👌🚙💨
