Never knew that, I knew he had a garage, and operated a recovery service.
Fred must be in his 70s or 80s now?

He was a pioneer of remould tyres in motorsport (primarily rallying at that time) - specifically the Colway brand. He used them himself, and when he cut back on his own rallying career, became Motorsport Manager for Colway, responsible for marketing their tyres around the world.

I bought a duel USB 12 volt charger from that Bang good site (the missus says that name sounds like a porn site ) for my smartphone (my phone didn't come with a car charger), It has an intelligent chip and can charge multiple different devices that have different currents. It shows your car battery voltage & different currents going into whatever you've got plugged into it and all for £3.09 delivered

How do they do it!

I thought I'd check that 12V phone charger device out as it only read 12.1 volts this morning. I put my multimeter across the battery and it was right, time to put the battery trickle/conditioner charger on it.

Battening down the hatches and turning the telly up to try to avoid the girls getting wound up by fireworks.

The fireworks are mental loud here, The cats don't seem to bothered.

I'm listening to the new Liam Gallagher album 'As you were' which I must say is very good indeed.

Our Collie is shaking like a leaf poor thing, I pity the animals in the middle east where conflict is rife. As for the terrorist's I don't give a s h I t about them.

Trauma tomorrow, going to take the Limo for a MOT, at a garage I don’t know, it has excellent reviews, so fingers and everything else crossed.
