Those Goodride Zuper Trek tyres look the business. :wink:

And NO, @realspeed, I did not torque the nut to the proper settings I did them up as hard as I could with my wheel brace. In over 60 years of motoring I have yet to have a wheel fall off.

It is Friday, on the cusp of the weekend, have a good one.

Take care.

Afternoon all, itā€™s become boring all this sunshine , Iā€™m fed up with everyday the same ā€¦hot and sunny.
Never thought Iā€™d miss our usual summer rainy season.
No rain for weeks and weeks here on the south coast 31Ā° today. Thatā€™s a photo I took a couple of weeks ago its worst now !

Alas, the Kiddywinks Wonā€™t Allow me.
Otherwise, I would only become a Relic in this digital world. :grinning:

When Woolworths had ā€œPick and Mixā€.
Paraffin and Rechargeable Battery Sulfuric Acid Together were in.
Self-Served. Tapped drums,
Splashing onto timber floorboards. The smell directing to site.
A Mega Bonfire waiting to happen,
Should a ā€œDoodlebugā€ come shopping.
Small wonder they Bailed Out. Before it did happen. :wink:

There is a very good reason why I torque up wheel nuts . Over tightening could easily strip the thread, or tightening up not enough a nut can work loose
.

I challenge you to strip the thread on a wheel nut with a wheel brace, the video of it would give Rhino Run a hiding.

Youā€™re quite right - it is NO Mowing needed. Love a drought.

Hi Ambre I had forgotten all about those delicious warm peanuts. Thanks for reminding me.
I use to enjoy a mug of Holicks in their cafe .
The top 20 record counter .
Pic and mix Iā€™d buy 2ozs of Jazzies and penny toffee Arrow bars .
Happy Days !

Mmmm. Ohhh My. Thatā€™s got me pondering.
Certainly the most likely. It was the only store that resembled current Supermarkets.
As he checks his Diary and flips back 88 pages. :wink: E :wink:
