    5 quid and a massage and I’ll take em off your hands. Don’t want them cluttering up your space ;)

    Second hub cap on now. Wrist is a little swollen from repeatedly catching in on the wheel.

    @davidoft that massage is looking less and less likely ;)

    Oooh looking very snazzy.... but one a day and at the risk of ruining your future career as a sleazy lounge bar piano player in the back streets of Poole, it’s a high price to pay even for shiny shiny stainless steel ;)

    Isn't a relevant question 'how much damage can I do to the hubcap, the wheel and/or myself taking the hubcap off the next time'?

    Perhaps to focus the mind, take the above question and apply it to the verge on a busy A road dual carriageway, where the strength of the hulk can't get the barsteward thing off and you have a puncture.


    Are those wheels powder coated?

    Christ I’ve not been in there for a while! Bit interesting on a Friday night.
    Maybe I’ll make it for the classic cars on the Quay event in the summer and play “waltzing Matilda”.

    I’ll get one of the little hook tools to keep in my onboard spares box I reckon.
    Yeah they were powder coated.

    Why not save your wrist and use a rubber mallet?
