Right, I'm going to have a wee problem. My car is in for the wishbones, and I have some interesting semi slicks on the 145, which I noticed when I dropped it off. Might explain the serious lack of grip last week a bit  This might mean me not being able to make this, as I'm saving myself nearly £40 and using black circles to supply my tyres. Plus side, fitted at Pro Tyres Fareham would have been £140. Through Black Circles, and the massive AO discount of £4  it's costing me to have (are you still with me?) fitted at Pro Tyres. £103!!
I won't be going direct ever again, and in future plan replacement tyres a lot more in advance.
Live in Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Oxfordshire or Wiltshire?

Thats quite a good saving over Pro Tyres. What brand of tyres are you having fitted?
Hope you can make it, but if you want a lift I can pick you from Fareham.
I'll PM you my number.

I had my car back last night. My wishbones were interesting, indeed. No wonder I had no trust in the front end  and that in a stright line it was like being in a bumper car
Paul is picking me up, I'm not happy driving on those roads, seeing how bad they are and how quick we can be. Also, means I can have a pint or two

We were surprised you went on the m27 anyway to be honest. But that is one long around trip to make!

 We waited an extra 5 minutes for you, then had a spirited V6 display to the Hurdles.

It was a bit dark, but around that roundabout, you looked like you were about to capsize
