Tom's TDCi Titanium X...

[Toms306]

So, an update and some pics lol...

Not gonna lie, last few weeks have been awful, hate that time of year and I was feeling pretty bad by this week.  Despite that I forced myself out yesterday after a lengthy toilet session and despite the rain me and the Focus had a trip down to Colchester!  Via the backroads though, wasn't gonna chance the A12 lol.

So, I took Focus to the scrap yard...



Where we saw a 206oc meet...



But only one 306 which wasn't a GTi so didn't have what I was after (decent parts though, will stick pics up in another thread shortly in case anyone wants parts).  And also only one Focus, which was the Mk2 (mines the 2.5) and only pov spec style.  Didn't have any velour mats or undertray or anything else worth having.



Stopped by LewisG's work on the way back and dropped some parts off to him....only 3 months late lol.  Then had a quick photoshoot by the reservoir - where I got chased by some scary ducks!





So yeah, not a bad day out for once!


Anyway, tomorrow I'm getting a pair of tyres.  First just want to check this nail wont be an issue for the MOT....I know we've been over this but want to make sure lol.






Anyway, I've chucked on the spare and will drop the two rims into F1 and let them fit tyres while I get on with other things.  Got a feeling the tracking might be out lol...



On closer inspection, the 2 rear tyres still have about 5mm tread left, and almost no edgewear - I must've confused them with another pair of tyres in my mind I think!  So I'll stick them on the front (assuming the nail isn't an issue!) and stick the new ones on the back.  Will get front tracked after MOT as both front tyres have the same edgewear despite about 4mm in the centre!

Heres the shiny new rim I purchased a couple of months ago to get rid of the kerbed one -






Then MOT is booked at Bash's garage for Tuesday, hopefully it passes, though I cant think of any reason why it wouldn't!  Then tracking needs doing, then tax is due end of Feb (a whole £30 ) then hopefully almost a year without any money spent on it.....hopefully...
