Minx just like new!

It didn't start out too well for Minx after taking her in to get her rear window fixed, I managed shread the side wall of the front drivers side tyre. So it was two trips out for fix ups for Minx today.

The rear window looks great. We managed to break it pretty well on close inspection, breaking the section that held the window in. On the up side that meant that the whole rear section could be replaced with a new window and a much better rear view with the top up.

The next trip was for 4 new shoes. It did look pretty ridiculous riding around on the bicycle sized space saving spare. With All Rounder about the best tyre on there and something different on every corner we went the whole hog and replaced the lot. Due to the urgency of tyre need I went with the recommendation from the Bridgestone centre and got some Firestone Wide Ovals.

So after a big day out for the Minx it drives like a new car... It's just a pity I can't drop the top for the rest of the weekend while the new window settles in.
