The Retirement Thread

Duly noted, for use at a later time.

You can also note that my exhaust is blowing a bit and my garage is only doing emergency repairs.

Isn't that one such repair?

I doubt it

I have been for a spin. Breezy but not as bad as it's been. Lots of others out plus walkers too.

As a bodge, if the hole isn't large, a drinks can cut down one side and wrapped around the pipe, and wired in place. Assuming you can get to it that is.

Did you not used to get some sort of bandage type thing to wrap round?

I used to use something called gungum. Coat the inside of the can and then wrap and wire. My first car actually got through a MOT like that. I think the rules are a lot tighter now.😉

There was a bandage type but I think it contained asbestos so got banned a long while ago.

Can you do that with exhausts that have a catalytic converter?

Depends where the hole is , it will normally be ona welded joint and is not easy to wrap.

Just got back from a tough 2 hour walk across the back fields and down by the river, saw one person the whole time and we kept our distance.

I got a little 52 miler in this morning. Out through Shilton, Withybrook, Ullesthorpe, Frolesworth and on to Cosby, across to Countesthorpe then turned for home through Peatling Magna, peatling Parva, Gilmorton and on to Ullesthorpe and Claybrook Parve then picked up my route out in reverse, back through Monks Kirby Withybrook, Shilton and into Coventry. Slightly chilly at first but warming up as the morning progressed, hard work on the way out into that stiff cold breeze, but fun flying in front of it on the way back, though I didn't spend as much time with a tail wind as I thought I might. So thats another hard but pleasant ride done, I was going better on this ride than on previous rides, my legs were fading towards the end, but not as much as on previous rides.

@welsh dragon I got to the pie shop. We are shortly going to have them with chips, mushroom & onion gravy and a slice of bread.
While in there I saw these pies that you might appreciate.
The label is blurred sorry.

Little 52 miles!! That is getting to be what I call a long ride these days.

Can you get some gum gum? That does a good interim job.
