A new twist on the tyre story
Having already tried Black Circles 'Premium' budget tyres on my wife's BM 5 series (I thought I'd let her try them out first) and being very impressed with them, I decided to get some for my E350 Merc (rears) and ordered and paid online for them. (£128.00 total for 2 tyres fully fitted)
I had two fitted a few weeks ago at my local dealer, and never thought to check if they were correct.
A few days later I was at the BTCC at Oulton park when I had a call from Black Circles asking me if I was happy with the new tyres and I to him they were superb.
He said that I may have the wrong tyres fitted and to check them.
It turns out another customer had ordered tyres of the same size to be fitted on the same day at my local garage.
Sure enough I have his £350 Pirelli P Zero tyres, and he has my £64 each BC tyres....... OOOPS !
Heard nothing since so I guess the garage will be more careful in future.
Should I complain ?? LOL

Didn't see you at Croft Lou, did you give it a miss?

Hi Martin,
Yeah, I was at Croft BTCC mate.
Saturday was a washout and the crash and subsequent RED FLAG was a real pain. (not least for Jeff Smith and Luke Davenport)
We were in the Clervaux stand on Saturday and Clervaux bank on Sunday.
So far we've been to Brands, Donington, Oulton, and Croft this year, and each weekend has been held up for major red flag situations.
See you both at Knockhill for some real racing.
