A very good show indeed
I'm very sorry that i bothered to pay attention to the weather forecast as it was F**kin WRONG!
Still managed a visit in the car though
I concur Dr. Deuce the case, it seems, is likely to become full blown MV dependance anytime now. The early symptoms are plain to see and will no doubt develop
look at this random pattern tell me what you see
Well as usual the fates have conspired to F**k everything up so looks like I may not be there after all ... deeply pi--ed off... hope the weather forecast improves!
They are a bugger to get off if they've been on a while...
I resorted to page 1 of the 'dangerous book for boys' but wouldn't recommend that!!
3 900x16's at 8 feet in the air is quite a spectacle though!
However a slightly less life threatening method which works...
A let ALL the air out first
B loosen the outer ring bolts until the bolts are about quarter to half an inch from the ring all the way round but still fully threaded
C put the air line back on
D leave the room quickly with the extension lead & plug for the compressor
E wait for the 'clang' as the ring separates from the rim
F disconnect the compressor and let the air out of the tyre again
once the ring has come away from the rim you'll then need to break the bead...
petrol creeps nicely betwixt tyre and rim... either use a bread breaker or leap up and down on the tyres like a wild thing weilding pry bars and jemmys
swapped over loads of rims this way now... not quite to formula 1 pit crew speed yet but about 5/10 mins a tyre...
Poor old Pontiac... they did make some lovely cars back in the 40's n 50's... but then most of the US manufacturers were making nice stuff... up to about 1960... after that hmmm 'not so much'
Mind you some of the new mechanical mutants sporting the Dodge badge make me want to wretch!
Aww bless...my school stands on the site of the assembly plant at Windermere...
and no there aren't any left at the bottom of the lake... they're all in my garage!
