I know weve missed this lot of swell but what about we all chip in and hire a minibus with say 4 designated stops along the way and take a load of us up that way?

I would be more than happy to arrange this for the next time scotland is the only place in the uk working.

Hey surfdude scarbro, when said bus is back on road more than happy to share the juice, it seats eight so there's almost always some space.

dont tell me, you went to kwit-fit and one of their apprentice monkeys overtightened them, or even worse cross threaded them? :roll:
If theyre just to tight they should come off with a bar and a bit of "persuasion", if any of them are cross threaded theyll ned to be drilled out and that can work out to be expensive :x

Yep over tightened, the brakes are under gaurantee, so need to be done at that garage, but had new tyres at a different garage after so need to take it back there for wheel nuts to be loosened as first garage said won't risk snapping them. :?: :x
