    Think I need a new tyre!

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/75645199@N06/6952974349 Just left Skipton on Saturday aft along the A629 in the outside lane doing 60mph when it went bang and blew out plenty of blue smoke. Had to change it in the rain but typically when I'd got back in the car the sun came out. Ah well.

    This stupid weather!

    Got up early to watch last nights nationwide NASCAR race then thought I'd wash the cars. So I get all the gear out then step outside only to find it ****** snowing! Typical. Anyway rant over.

    Bradford to Poole.

    What a day to set off. Had this long weekend planned to visit family and friends to show off our 4wk old 2nd daughter, woke up this morning and the whole country has iced over. Nice one! Journey should take just about 4 1/2 hrs on a good day. This could be a long drive. Ah well time to fill up...

    Wheel protection

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/75645199@N06/6848721007 Just got these bad boys for the smart. 17" diamond cut look stunning but I'm worried about the salt eating away at them. What products would you advise to protect them and keep them looking fresh?

    Dodgy central locking.

    It's starting to get a bit annoying now. I can lock / unlock the car by the remote and it will be fine for a day or two before it becomes intermittent and I have to lock / unlock the old fashioned way with the key. Sometimes it will randomly start to work ok again but I just end up reprogramming...
