Quick trip over to the Civic Amenities Site, Wallsend. By pre appointment 17:30 - 18:00.

Skipped 2x Getz wheels, numerous plastic bottles of old oil [into recycling drum], single pane radiator & junked 4x plugleads 4x 14" wheel trims....

Job jobbed... 🥂

As an aside.... I keep a plastic tub box in the hatch boot, with some basic tools and oil/washer top up stuff, I took it out to get the old tyres in...

Having NEVER raised the spare wheel cover board and looked under it 😱.... I reckoned if the spare was a baldy scrapper then one of the 'good' wheels being chucked out could be swapped in 🤔

No need to worry 😁

Brand-new/unrun spare, full toolkit [in factory Hessian bag] + NO WATER in well 👍

...... we'll forget about that now, then 🤣

Rather sad sight (for 2.5seconds 😯)

Hauling up the stretch from the end of Washington highway onto the A1.... Following a large artic - not rushing it, everyone howling past us...

I spotted a rabbit, just going (.... trying 😢) over the kerb into the undergrowth with a mashed up/dragging leg = big boyo just squashed it!

Probably death throes TBH...

Ah well

At some times of year you will struggle to drive 5 miles here without flattening a rabbit.

I remember a holiday near Balmoral in the mid 90s during the summer. We set out of an early morning fishing trip and it was impossible to avoid the rabbits, they were everywhere 

I'm not into killing them for fun but I got at least half a dozen on that morning drive. Poor buggers - death by Triumph Acclaim.

Not with the car, but if they're in the garden eating our fruit trees / bushes / shrubs then they're fair game with the air rifle.

Don't think my Southern soft heart could shoot a wabbit, but rats would be fine...

@loserone.. well, today, MrGetz got a run through the Brushes of Doom and emerged with no noticeable increase in paint defects 👍.

As he's so *shiny/glazing unmuddied, I went into StikkaMode 😎....

2k more until oil + filter is due....

The kind contribution of an AdBloo drum will make that a <🙀> less messy enterprise ✔️

Cheers M9

Jeezeee.....

Normally keeping a look-out for pheasants, kamikaze traffic dodging....

Always warmed by the sight of big, fat hens scratching around in the grass margins... when passing farms....

TODAY 🙀 .... Was truly a Red Letter Day 🤪

.... Zipping along, coming into the back of Morpeth along by the golf course, I make a nice neat slice on a blind left >> tracing the white margin line, no drama >> lo and behold an ffinn HERON is standing on the very verge... Like a statue, unblinking...

I slotted past...

Very Impressive 😎

Summertime just round the corner.....

My 'it WAS on the day I bought it' non-functioning A/C needs looking at 😯....

 

IMG_20240418_161858.jpg

He's dropping into my street 11am tomorrow... No Charge pre-check.

Getz are notorious for degassing at the 'rubber pipe ferrule' onto the compressor...

We will see how it goes (hopefully not IN & straight OUT 🤣🤣).

Ha Ha..... Precissimmo 😉

My WVM Pug had A/C.... Froze me and generated savage 'cotton mouth'🤪.... Drove with the pass window 1" down to 'bleed away chilled air' = seems pointless 🙄.

SWMBO deffo 'not happy', being baked in SuziQ.... A/C firmly top of her purchase agenda with MrGetz...

We Will See...

You've just spent half the savings of buying a used part?

Yeah.... The crappy connectors MIGHT not go ping.

The number listed on Fleebay, otoh, says 'aye, buy a lotto ticket M8' 😕

Don't come included with a brand new one either 🙄...
