Stuart, it's Craighill Tyres in Irvine. Euan's not sure about them as he reckons tey didn't balance one of the wheels correctly.
Some very nice dual carriageways within half a mile to test out on afterwards though.
Push a bit for reduced price, but don't expect big savings. I use them bacuase I trust them to look after my wheels.
Thanks,

I just need to check the dealer isn't ripping me off.

Not sure about them porsces never driven one.

In all honesty now that I have had some time with the car I do not regret my decision, not for a minute.

The new S is so much better than the old one. I am so much faster and smoother than before and it is a total hooligan if you want it to be, I was never this sideways in the Honda. I honestly think it can change the laws of physics on some corners and the breaks are sooooo good.

No thanks - I've seen how you drive

(Nice to know you're thinking of your passengers by giving them the dodgy helmet )




I kinda going off lime green - I was looking at pics of Scov's car last night, and it's darker than I thought

Pink lady's yellow doesn't look as good in those recent pics as I imagined either


Not sure what I'll do .............

:-( I am very careful.

The helmet is fine, I just don't want some jobsworth scrutineer (sp) banning me.

Didn't realise they check helmets - don't they have a finite life due to UV light or something anyway?

I think so. Some places check, some don't.

BTW - mean't to ask - do you think this handling day that was talked about a earlier in the year could still be a goer?

There are thoughts of having the 1st lotus guy do a day when he is up in Crail in the New Year, and Neils2k has an iron in fire about organising something else.

I'm still interested, especially at this time of year when its more likely to be wet (I'm one of the few jocks yet to bin their car, and I'd like to maintain my reputation )
