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 🤣 🚙💨 egg, PicantoJon, privatewire and 1 other 4

tooSavvy Posted March 13, 2024 Author Posted March 13, 2024 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 🚙💨
loserone Posted March 13, 2024 Posted March 13, 2024 At some times of year you will struggle to drive 5 miles here without flattening a rabbit. tooSavvy 1

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.

tooSavvy Posted March 31, 2024 Author Posted March 31, 2024 @loserone.. well, today, MrGetz got a run through the Brushes of Doom and emerged with no noticeable increase in paint defects 👍.

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...
