Calming the (in)famous Yorkshire Wallet

[giner]

Best way to test it BB, is to quietly lay the wallet down on the road, creep gently away from it then get in the car and, at high speed, drive over it. If the wallet is nasty enough, it'll rip your tyres to shreds, or, if not, then maybe the wallet will have finally learned its lesson and be a more amenable beast in future.

Be prepared to shell out for new rubber, though.

Is it possible to find a piece of empty road at the moment?

I thought all road space was occupied by motorists queueing for petrol.

could always glue the wallet to the road surface and use it as a speed hump, keep it of centre though in case I hit it with the 'pig'

ps, no petrol worrys with a Tamworth Belle

Ay up!

I tried using the Wallet as a speed bump. It scuttled off and hid under another car. Took hours to tempt it out with a fiver. Tried a tenner but it refused to believe I had a tenner!

Tracking has been adjusted so more wallet-pounding. Still the car now behaves like a Citroen and less like a knackered Land-Rover!

MOT tomorrer - wish us ( me and my Wallet!) luck.....

Mr B Tamworth products you get to love them and hate them in equal proportions, I have owned two of the tricycles bigger brother the Scimitar and it was a case of when running they were the best things under the sun but maintenance and repairs one task that needed more articulation than you could get out of your arms was to change the rear spark plugs. I still love them but dont own one anymore.

52D , I have a set of moified spanners and a good quality 3/8 socket set any bigger and you cant get 'em in ! , but sorn has set in and present classic transport is the legendary 'Plas' , unfortunetly its taxable (signs of the wallet ?) , and some say its use was for Linwood to dispose of surplus engine's

Ay up!

Failed! Handbrake still not up to scratch.

Bits for full caliper overhaul ordered. Wallet biting anything within reach!

Set the wallet on the MOT man next time

[Blink Bonny]

Ay up!

Don't work - he's tougher than even a Yorkshire Wallet!

[60800]

Maybe Chuck Norris can help

[Blink Bonny]

Ay up!

Clearly you ain't met my MOT man.

Ex-Marine I reckon. Tough but fair. He could go into any pub you name and nobody'd mess with him. Not even the Yorkshire Wallet. It meekly allowed me to extract £60 in his prescence!

[mr B]

that'll teach yer' for letting mrs BB behind the wheel

some thing will have to go, the wallet the car .......

......or mrs BB ( im out'a here )

[Blink Bonny]

Ay up!

Car is up on ramps, minus front wheels, awaiting swinging hammers.....

[Blink Bonny]

Ay up!

Brake bits arriving in small batches. I've also seen some nice, big, recoilless hammers.

More Wallet bashing in progress.

I've got it on the run! I managed to slip in a Hornby 28xx without it noticing!
