Mr T – Always good to hear from you.
I really hope that I get to use the car more this year, as it still brings a smile to my face.
Plus, it still seems to raise a few smiles, waves and thumbs ups from others out and about too.
You might be able to see what is wrong with this photo.
Which is supposed to be all the new tyres I ordered for my Swordfish.
Clearly, I am one tyre short of a set, but I’ve been told the fourth one is on its way.
The problem I have with my current set is that the previous owner bought them new.
Then he took years to restore my donor Spitfire and then I took years building the Swordfish.
Which means that all the current tyres have an almost new thread pattern…
But they are actual 14 years old!
Which certainly explains why the back end occasionally steps out when I’m not expecting it.
With a bit of luck, I will have 4 new tyres fitted for the Bank Holiday weekend.
Take care, Paul.
