No talking. Was alone. Just thought I'd be cleverer than the sensors and the image on the RNS510. Also, I was distracted. It was a hell of a squeeze to get ino that parking spot. Never again.
Don't you have Park Assist?
Tut-tut...
Best add it to your list of retro-fits.

I have sensors, front and rear. Don't need Park Assist as I am still in my prime! Anyway, nothing could have assisted me in that situation! :rolleyes:

Gizzy, really. It was too cold and I did not have the energy at 8 am in a car park in Kings Cross. She's young enough to be my grandchild. O, dear, this makes it sound really disgusting. :sick:
Stop it! You are egging me on.
Now if you were there, in that position, it would have been a different matter! :kiss:
Yeah and the whole of London would have run away screaming in horror :evil:

.... and we would have the whole city to ourselves! :grin:

Two tyres in Oldbury, West Midlands, NW of Birmingham.
The other two still in Best, Holland.
Hope I can have all four for fitment this Saturday. :rolleyes:

I think it is going to be touch and go. More touch, me thinks. :rolleyes:

They come in two parcels, two tyres per parcel. The have been properly separated so one parcel will arrive either tomorrow or Friday, the other next week probably. Unless, lady luck shines on me.

Partial good news.

Second set of two tyres in Oldbury, West Midlands.
From there probably to a depot in London. Then the delivery to the tyre fitters.

I'll have them fitted Sat 8th Jan, just two days before my Birthday! A good Christmas + Birthday rolled into one.

Now please don't ask me my age as a 'gentleman' never divulges this, just as a 'lady' keeps her salary secret!

So Asker, when are we seeing pictures of the new shoes and wheels or are you still fighting the sale hoardes doing some post Christmas shopping?  :smiley:

Hi Alex.

Tyres en route to London since 6 am. First to the DPD depot which is near the fitters, then scanned, then delivered to the fitters.

Can't see it happening today unfortunately.

Happy New Year.
