Put air in tyres, then nearly crashed it on my way home. Doing 70 -80 mph on the a12, one moment of inatention, and suddenly stationary trafic ahead. locked up the rear but was not enough so i aimed for the middle of the cars and held on. must have got to the cars at about 50mph, bit fast for filtering i must say. anyway thankfully i survived and purchased a lotto ticket. (so nearly died and lost 2 quid) hopefully i will learn from this experience......by taking the car for a few days.. :/

Got to say - never mind yourself --you are scaring me !
Sorry to you both I got confused -------- it was because it was the first post on a new page so I did not directly have the other name to see, and also the bit about putting in air in the tyres correlated with youngster fitting a new one.Thats what I am saying anyway- sounds convincing to me and I am sticking with it
Glad your ok youngsterbiker But seriously, if you think your struggling to get a bike through the gap at that speed, what makes you think you'll get your car through there?

And you're bang on Downey, I was filtering through a mile of stationary traffic today thinking, yeah that's why I ride!
Charged the battery on gen 1 no1, sprayed gen 1 no 2 with copious amounts of fs465. It doesn't get acf 50 like my minters as its not exactly mint
