Swift... eh? Nah!

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 😮

🚙💨

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' 🌡️🥵

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 🤔

👌 .... 🚙💨

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 👁️

#asweallwere..... 🚙💨

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....

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 😵)
