Was hoping to go out yesterday, but rain, alot and even a little . As it turned out wouldn't have been able to go out anyway. Got a new tyre fitted Saturday and it went on the wrog way!? I know it doesn't make a difference on mine, but my Dad has the connection for the speedo so it does on his!?!?!
