Good stuff. Think about how that must have been pulling and the racket before it seized.

[@theworkshopuk]

Exactly! But tbh the owner is pretty clued up and stopped before any real damage was done.

@@theworkshopuk if i was that 'clued up' i'd wait until a moonless night and bury the evidence in Epping Forest.

Question: Is that an ice cream truck I always hear in the background?

[@theworkshopuk]

Sandwich van... ice creams would be a luxury!
