This morning Eddie was due to come out of hibernation, but the weather was less than favourable. Luckily the rain had cleared by lunchtime, so out he came for a quick blast up the old Fosse and back down the A46 bypass to settle out the brakes and new bushes. Unfortunately he was handling like a pig on the worn road surface.
So it was back home, a quick look on the web to see which tyre companies were open on a Saturday afternoon and then it was off to Eden Tyre Services (just a mile down the road) for Tracking. Forty minutes later and £25 lighter off I went down the same route. As soon as I pulled out of the garage I could tell that there was a vast improvement, so much so that I ended up doing 45 mile 'test run' around the B and C roads of Newark just to make sure!
Then when I pulled onto the drive and went inside, as per last year, Thomas resumed his usual position as bonnet mascot!
