No Joke

2 mths ago I dumped the old rusted and holed chrome end caps on the rear bumper. New ones arrived from Mr. Milner and I lovingly coated the inside of them in hammerite - lots of it. I didnt even put them done on my workbench without a few sheets of newspaper under them...
And what does the boss do today in a bad mood, he backs his poxy passat into the rear left and leaves a small concave impression in it (i.e. a dent) that is too small to charge him for a new one but big enough for me to get real ####ed when I look at the 'knot' effect in the reflection knowing its gonna always be there.

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH THEY'VE NO IDEA DO THEY !

hehehe!!... not bad!
there's a few old friends popped up in the last week...

i don't come here so much... driving a Focus and have to work for a living!!

[Predictable Bob]

At least the Focus can be an entertaining drive - I've got one for a daily driver and it LOVES corners (Might explain why I only get 12k out pf the front tyres !)

it was great with the original Continentals... but the budget one's i've got now are $hite!!

if only they'd wear a bit quicker, i'd go back to continentals.... but maybe not at £130 each!!

12k........... you get 12k ...........

Well if you didnt drive it, Melons might get 20k out of them...........

And how long do the tyres last on your Vauxhall Omelette ?

If you're doing big mileage try Michelin Energy's - I've actually got 25k out of them. I paid £82 a corner at Micheldever but I think they're about £20 cheaper at Costco

Still on the same ones, not doing the miles any more or lugging the yeti about, so suspension is holding up well too..........

The omelette is RWD isn't it ?

The flawed focus is FWD so it's bound to wear out front tyres faster.

Even my little Panda only made it to 26K on the front tyres, the rears have years left to go
