Martin, does this look familiar? Oxen used to pull wooden vehicles!

That is NOT a Triumph Sheerline - there was no such model. It is an Austin A125 Sheerline
No, the round wheel - and one of the less potent engines.With the quartic steering wheel or the later one with a regular shaped wheel?
Sorry Brian for the late arrival
Slightly off topic, but had to have 4 new Tyre's on my polo.
4 places locally quoted me £400+ for bridgestone b250's as that's what was on the car.
I went online and found a website called black circles, and got 4 Yokohama blue earth's fitted for £273.00
They send them to my local fitter. So I am well chuffed with the savings, as I hot higher grade Tyre's then my local fitters could do.
Also well off topic, but good for a laugh!Slightly off topic, but had to have 4 new Tyre's on my polo.

That's not a bad price mate:-)I had two fitted on my old Pug Thursday of last week, £44 each, unsure of the brand just cheap and cheerful, I wouldn't worry about things off topic, where in the meeting place anything goes in my eyes within reason.
I will check what make and size later Chris, off to bed now pal catch you later today
Oops and Ouch at the same time!I also managed to kill my MG ZR a few days ago, with total ecu failure which will cost more than the car is worth to rectify. Its annoying as the engine was only rebuilt on it about 18 months ago.

Was it anything like this Brian? I have still got mine. This is an american XLT 3ltr.Also well off topic, but good for a laugh!
When I had my Ford Ranger XLT pickup, after 10 years it needed 2 new front tyres. Michelin AT´s Was quoted €250 per tyre by the local garage! No chance, hunted round , found some at another garage " puche " for €200 each, still too much.
Went to the expensive English garage, he had 2 Pirelli Scorpions just the right size that he had had is stock for over 2 years, got both for €250, good result!
Just got the throttle body to swap over from the ZR so i can get back the 20BHP that was robbed at the factory. The 83BHP Rover 25 engine is just a knobbled 103BHP engine. Its only the throttle body that robs the power as it doesn't open as far as the MG one. A nice easy fix to get more power from it.
