    Make sure you're sitting down for this.

























    Teeth? LUXURY! When I was a child we ate by putting rocks in our mouth and jumping up and down.

    Surely you are only pulling it one way though? ie. you are pulling it along its length.

    2.5 petrol. It feels quite torquey to me for a petrol engine, it's lovely to drive at low revs, just cruising around.

    I've done 127 miles this afternoon and I've still got just over 3/4 of a tank.

    I went to Kwik fit to have my wheels balanced as I had a bit of wheel wobble. Turns out, the front two tyres were deformed and the rear two were almost bald. lmao

    While they knobbed around trying to find prices and availability for the (frankly - massive) tyres, I got on ebay on my phone and found a guy breaking an E39. He needed wheels and tyres to get his to the scrapyard, and I needed wheels and tyres that weren't going to kill me. Hey presto:



    6mm of tread all round. Good times!

    Booo old wheels were nicer but understand why you changed them.
    When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

    Just nipped outside and thrown the head unit I had in the Mondeo into the BM. Luckily some dip**** had already chopped the loom up and hacked an ISO connector on the end. Made it dead easy to fit the radio, but I hate it when people hack up looms.



    At least I can have some music on the way to work!
