Well volunteered! Your plans for the TT 11th Anniversary Souvenir Teaspoons have eleven months to reach maturity.

Forward planning is the key.
It's over £20 for a bespoke teaspoon - I don't think there will be much demand.
Volume is the secret. Buy 500 and the price per unit falls considerably.
Then I'll be left with 495 and forced to sell them to Blib at a knockdown price

My apologies for my somewhat belated entrance to the melee, bit of family business needed our attention.
Anyhow, I see everyone seems to have made it over here safely, a remarkable achievement in itself. Nice to see a tribute to the old General too.

As it's Bank Holiday, I think I'll have a pint in the Residents' Lounge beer

So today I’ve removed my wheels and cleaned the inside of them.



This is the other back wheel. The inside shoulder has worn but the tyre is on the tread blocks so I’m not to concerned.



This is the punctured wheel which has a lovely crack in it. So that’s scrap then.



Here is the front brake. I’ve posted this because I had already shown you a picture of the rear. This to is a 348 mm doc. It’s the same piston set up as the godly 535d but with bigger calliper carrier and disc.

So new wheel, new tyres. Great.

SM, if a new wheel is hard to find or too costly then you could investigate having the wheel repaired. The alloy wheel specialist near me did wheel welding. Sadly they are closed now so I will have to find somewhere else next time I need my wheels colour changed.

Not necessarily, S&M.
Have you spoken to any wheel repair specialists?
That wheel could possibly be stitched up again. It's amazing what they can do these days.
I imagine it would be far cheaper than shelling out £100s for a replacement alloy. Assuming ytou could find one somewhere in the first place.

Just to concur with the other chaps, I think a repair would be well worth looking at Stuntman.
A few years back a friend damaged an alloy on his Range Rover, it really did look FUBAR.
If I hadn't taken the wheel to the repair place myself I don't think I'd have believed it was the same one. Astonishing.

Anyhow, how about this for a Minty Fiat:
