what's up with the huge amount of balancing weights on your left front wheel?
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Remoulds I would guess. It doesn't look to be mounted correctly either, a pet peeve of mine - it doesn't seem like there are any tyre fitters left that know what the balance dot is for.

nice work on the MOT :)

also, you should get a bumper on there... even a subtle tube bumper makes sure the offending vehicle will take more damage and yours will take less next time ;)

Found a small rust spot...thankfully the rest of the bodywork is sound...behind the filler was old newspapers and some fibreglass. Got most off it sorted today, will finish it tomorrow I hope.
