Milla is legal again

Further to yesterday’s post, I got the tyres fitted to Milla this morning.

National Tyres wouldn’t fit any tyres that they hadn’t supplied, and the guy at Abbey Tyres just didn’t seem to want my business (blathered on about possibly having to wrap the alloys in paper or something, and quoted £11/tyre “at least”, and then could only do them on Tuesday…) but the guys at Kingsway Tyres on St. Andrews Road, Cambridge (01223 352002 - they don’t have a website, I hope I’m remembering my phone URLs correctly…) were cool.

They were busy when I first called, but said to give them 3/4hr or so, then fitted them while I waited, only charged £15 for the two tyres, and had a good chat about drag racing - Milla’s still got her race number in the back window, and one of the fitters used to work for a drag bike team.
