Tried (and failed) to get a Goodyear Asy 2 put on the front. Locking wheel nut wouldn't budge so now have to (potentially) go and shout at the local dealer. Had better days.
As usual they have prob overgunned it straight on instead of using the correct torque wrench settings, that's terrible from a dealer  :stupid:

What I'm thinking. Assuming they'd take the wheels off at some point when doing a service and must have been when they put them back on.

Nottingham mini meet?


....Great idea!  :drinking:

It's a 4hr drive for me (sometimes 3.5hr) each way and so it would have to be for a mid-morning coffee (and cakes!!?) and my daughter Sky probably wouldn't want to be there, unless I can persuade her to have an early lunch with us perhaps.

If she does come I shall be in my Bruce Willis mode!..........

This does sound like a good idea to me! :party: We could get Mike to join us too as he's always up for it.

I'm not around the weekend of the 23rd as I'm away in Germany/Holland with work but the weekend after would be good! :happy2:

Edit........I'm a little nervous about meeting Bruce Willis tho!!!! :innocent: :signLOL:
