What for? He's already found the screw!

His driveway might fall to bits if a screw has fallen out.

There doesn't appear to be a slot or anything in the screw head.

A trip to the dump was always fraught and I tried to park as far away from the wood container as poss because, although the crew swept quite often, there seemed to be a lot of pointy stuff fall out of things between cars and container.

It's one of those square socket screws. I forget what they're called.

Cheers. Never heard of or seen them before. Seems like a good idea. (Also called Scrulox apparently).

I ordered some new levers the other week,they finally turned up this afternoon after Royal Mail 24 took 7 days to deliver them ...
After fitting them I decided to go for a test run to see if I had adjusted them to where I wanted.



Lovely sunny evening so I ended up doing 30 miles & got caught in a light April shower at one point

A cracker day from lunchtime on. Hope to get the Zed out tomorrow for an early run.

Ye but...what about the tyre screw.

It used to hold his number plate on.

Althorp house, home of the late Lady Diana Spencer, she who would be Queen, if she hadn’t pissed the Queen off too much!!

I took the SV to the seaside earlier,sunny Southport.Took the back road home across the moss,no traffic



The weather's been so rubbish that I've only done 360 miles on it.Looks like we'll get a dry day this week so the plan is to finally get to Devil's Bridge on it.
I want it run in & the 1st service done next week,just need it to stop pissing down for a few days ..

Maybe our settled period will blow your way when we're done with it.
