It doesn't look very dangerous, did it have big teeth?

Something did by the looks of it, half the trunk was missing at the bottom.
I've seen worse than that stay up through a storm and ash that looked solid explode as soon as the saw touched it. That last one was a brown trouser day.

Couldn't take the chance,if it came down it would have landed on a house,or someone possibly me.
That Welsh fellow Ash Dia Bach has a lot to answer for.

Yeah i'm not one to skimp on brakes, seeing as I tow a fair few tons and nowt feels worse than warped brakes when fully loaded!
Good man. Safety first and all that and yes they look well past there use now. Even skimming discs weakens them.
Hard to see the distortion but the disc itself does feel bad.

He said things as he saw them just as i do. We need to be more like him these days to rid the world of all these pathetic sad PC knobs who have ruined our way of life. He stood for what he thought was right as i do too. A spade is a spade and all that. LOL. God bless him. Just a real shame he could not hang on until June for his 100th birthday.Must admit I did like the bloke. His sense of humour would have gone down well on here
Totally agree

He gave my brother in law a right bollocking for not saluting him.My B in L was in the Grenadier Guards and was guarding a back road in the Windsor estate he stopped a scruffy man in a battered Land Rover to check it and it turned out to be him.RIP.

Think outside, no box required.
A nice big package appeared today..
Of course the weather was ****e but that wasn't going to stop me from fitting them!
Ripped the box apart!
Hmm shiny..
The new pads look very trick
Fitting was quite easy.
Jack off underneath
Old disc exposed, and it isn't in good nic..
Old pads out,
they weren't in bad nick but thy were wearing slightly unevenly so i'm on the right track in inside pad was worn atleast 40% and it has only around 6k on those Mintex pads.
Caliper off.
Old disc removed and hub cleaned up!
New disc and pads fitted, literally a 15min job!
And the view with the wheel on is quite cool
Oh and I did wipe my airbags over and coat them with some rubber protectant..
Just have to do the other side tomorra as it started to píss down after doing this side!!!

A great job done there buddy and it also gives you a perfect opportunity to look over the rest of that area too. I have same set in readiness to fit on mine when it arrives along with a newly refurbished set of Comet alloys too so i can see from yours how mine will look now. I hope you remembered to apply a thin coat of copper slip grease to the hub ring and back face of your alloys so they don't stick on.
