I fancy The Seducer but I think she'll want the Cobra.
Think I may take the 65 vert to the Morriset Car Show and swap meet that's on in the next couple of weeks and see if I can get a buyer for her.
Are you and the cook coming on Sunday?

Well,
Experienced some radial ply separation (massive egg on tyre) on the L/H/F
That was exciting enough until I went to fit the spare-Wrong rim.
Had to swap the tyres over from the rims. :toetapping:
Haven't used the tyre levers in a few years but all went well and back on the road.
Now to get some new tyres and find a rim for the spare.
Always something to keep me amused......  :smile01:

Peter ,last year I had 4 "new" Kumho 4x4  tyres separate on the Discovery, they had less then 600km on them. We were on our way to the snow and got as far a Narrabri, had to buy 5 new tyres at country prices, took 4 months to get the money back from Kumho. These were 4 days old and by the time I limped into Narrabri 2 had bits of steel belt coming out of the side walls.

Replaced the old "tilt-to-adjust" seat belts in the back of the coupe with new retractable belts.  Now the kids won't leave the seat belts loose just so they can move around.  Much safer. :thumb:

Mark, all you should be writing in this thread is;

Today I drove my car, then I drove it some more, then I looked at it, then drove it again and then made up a story to go drive it some more. I can't write any more as I'm now going to do some driving.

As soon as I get back home that will be happening. Of course I need to register it first and then wait for my left hand drive exemption before driving it.

It is required in SA for historic rego. Must keep it in the car. Can't drive the car until you have one here.

Fitted 2 new tyres to the front today.
The 2 for the rear are still on order.
Now I just have to find a rim for the spare.

Tried to find out where our USA style plates that myplates took our money for in October were. Response. - they don't know, they are having issues with the contractors! Can't tell us when they might be sent out! Frustrating :ouch:
