I remembered that yesterday on the way to the MOT station... I was provoking it a little but didn't expect to get it so sideways with the TC on still :o :o

Mind you... I've got those dreadful Neuton's on the rear :-X ::)

The cheap nasties on TBE hang on reasonably well. Not as well as the 'well used' premium tyres on the Bullet, but enough to still surprise the chavs

To be fair it's been rather dry here lately and had just p!$$ed it down about 10 mins earlier so the roads were pretty greasy and I did chuck it in and bury the throttle :-[ ::)

Fitted new wishbones and bushes to the Freelander. Swine of a job as the rear bush is pressed into a seperate alloy housing and then attached to the wishbone.(I cheated and got a local Farm Engineering workshop to press them out/in.) Made doubly worse due to the fact that the supplier in UK sent me two LH wishbones which meant that I'd to drill out the rivets holding the balljoint invert it and then bolt it back on. >:(
Fitted a new Cat to it as well as the 18 month old one was damaged internally and making the exhaust too loud , simple job though.
Front tracking on the FL AM and then inner tie rods and outer TRE's on the Transit afternon...................
Rough arsed roads down here ..................

Kosovans washed and hoovered it. My old neighbour reckons its ok to use a jet wash on a hose in a hose pipe ban.  Sigh...

I remember reading that on the SE Water website and thinking it odd, but it was definitely there..

Not now, though. I guess that's what they mean by "A number of concessions have been withdrawn."
