Glad you got him back, despicable people like that should be shot on sight!
Welcome to OOF
The rear tyres for my car cost the thick end of £600......after negotiation.
Ridiculous.
Jag running costs..
Friend of mine just ordered new Michelin PS4S all round for his Lambo - £750, delivered. Yes, for all four.
Maybe you want to trade up for some cheaper running costs?
Seems very unlikely to me.......Less than £190 per corner, and Lambo's tend to have extremely large tyres on the back.
£1750 sounds about right.
295/30R19 rears are £227 each, inc VAT
235/35R19 fronts are £142 each, inc VAT
Tyres for my BMW are more expensive by a significant margin, despite being significantly smaller.
How do wheel spacers affect wheel bearing lateral loads, wear and bearing life?
I've had it for many years, particularly annoying when you home in on it, or someone mentions it so you home in on it.
Mine sounds like a cross between an airline (compressor type, not a plane) constantly running and a ringing at the same time. Mine was caused by noisy factory environment apparently. I've had the brain scans but nothing they can do apparently.
ditto : same cause & hoofin around on bikes since I was 16 has probably added to it
Talked to the experts & had the scans & there`s booger all they can do about it
I`m particularly sensitive now to certain noise frequencies that irritate the problem & half deafen me
Another cause is long term use of script drugs. if you notice it early enough, talk to your quack & try summat else.
Not really sure on your question but it reminded me of a diner that used to be near here called "Dakotas". The bar inside was made out of a section of C47 fuselage and the tail section was suspended in the adjacent lake as if it had crashed there - until the council jobsworths got their way.
There were a couple of Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasps on display in the restaurant too. I wonder what happened to them when it closed? Not sure I could have got one in the back of the Omega anyway.
Basically i've got a car full of aviation bits and I want a better idea exactly what they are / what aircraft they are off so I can get the best price and sell on to make money
This place had a replica of a pre WW1 monoplane which was about 30 foot long strung up from the roof
Sadly a quick mental calculation told me it wouldn't fit in the back of my mk2 Astra estate and may have caused problems if I bungie cored it to the roof rack because i'd have had to drive past a police station to get it home
why not go the whole hog clicky linkyYou can make them some interesting colours with the dyes available now. Dark blue rendered wall anyone?SHHHHH
No, I put a coat of Unibond on it and rendered it ugly concrete.
Don't tell Lizzie ,she don't like concrete walls
or pattern imprint when wet ,and dye to look like bricks
or brick slips
or knock the wall down and rebuild it in staff blues (I have a stock of originals here £1 a pop + P&P)
I see they are re making 3" staffordshire blues
and weathered imperial wire cut
