Good save, TLP.
Now you need to fix NTBooth's compass. This is definitely the right side of the Pennines.

You're welcome NT. If anybody else needs owt welding and you don't mind the unorthodox approach, I'm always happy to help. I'm a firm believer in "Pay it Forward", I hopefully do so something nice for you and somewhere down the line, fate does the same for me.

Last weeks bin bag wrapping incident on the A1 could have ended badly, but it didn't.....
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

If anybodys interested, get a long masonry drill (the sort used for drilling damp course's. Grind the side 'wings off and grind it sharp keeping the tip looking like a metal drill, put it on a drill so its at its longest
and drill through the baffle halfway down the exhaust. four holes sounds good six holes are great. Better than chopping the tail pipe off as that just makes the wee sound like a wet fart.

and where were you 3 months ago!?

but yeh cutting the tailpipe off doesn't do anything, that's why I had to cut the big hole in the end of the muffler, sounded like a demon. it was great haha.
