Removed a newish pair of KYB springs from my current breaker to fit to my own car,due to another broken spring,courtesy of our crater ridden roads. >:(
Must be lucky, never suffered with a busted spring on any of my Omegas :)

Drove the MV6 again. I love it. I just instantly feel at home, once foot is readjusted for TC pads.

Then had a lack of talent moment. 'dangle berries'.

Oops :-\ does Mrs TB know and did she laugh ::) more to the point, can you fix it?

Aye, she saw. She muttered something about I'd rant at her if she'd done that. Which is probably true ;D

Had both break on my p/fl Omega,and this is the second on this one.Roads around here are falling into a shocking state of disrepair.
One of the disadvantages of living out in the sticks I suppose.
