Someone needs to learn about the difference between Brummie and Yam Yam. It is surprisingly large. Don't tell me I cor say that.

 

When I first arrived in the West Midlands aged 18, I actually thought references to the Black country were some sort of racist slur.  After a few years i could tell the difference between Tipton and Oldbury accents. 

In the same way I can tell the difference between a Dingle accent and a Croxteth accent now.

In the yard, I was quite taken by this.

  • chaseracer changed the title to Dyane 720 - running in nicely

* * *  DYANE LATEST  * * *

* Many miles have been enjoyed, including two visits to the FoD.  

* The engine is loosening up nicely, ready for the fortnight in France next month.

* Peter S. Taylor Insurance have agreed my cheekily optimistic valuation on the basis of six photos and PDFs of Sparrow's invoices!  WOOP.

* These expensive but worthwhile items have been united by good mate Spanners at https://www.jacautos.co.uk and will be fitted this weekend. 145x15s on the front will raise the gearing usefully, as well as gripping like the proverbial to a blanket.

* Next: 100% uprated springing to limit the body roll (a bit)...

  • chaseracer changed the title to Dyane 720 - all tyred out

The new rubber is on.  <FNARR>

I checked the date codes on the tyres that came off.  The 125s on the rear were from 2002 and were just beginning to show some sidewall cracking.  The 135s are from 2006, but still grip well and are in good shape having lived in the dark for most of the last decade, so they're now on the back.
