Forgot to ask mate, is it front or rear? Any ramifications for geo etc? Could this explain the Works price

Passenger rear........I don't think Works factored any of that in, it was purely a tyre replacement.

Jesus......hope I don't have to go through any geo etc......can do without another shafting at the moment !

...... Perhaps new wheels, brakes & suspension will be the way to go.....no telling what other damage that little screw may have done

Was thinking about an engine replacement just to be on the safe side........

For all of you who are familiar with the film Gone in 60 Seconds.......I have decided to christen the SP10 "Eleanor", as she's turning into my nemesis I think.

So to the world.....here's "Eleanor"......

I'm just shocked that YOU know the difference..... Imagine if it'd been a tack, who knows how that could've turned out

Sorry mate...you can't have Eleanor......I'm saving that for my new ride..

"Christine" might work for you though

Ry you named your car after Eds wife

And I wouldn't leave it parked there either. Their car park is full of nails, screws and tacks.......

When you get the ride then we can deed poll a name change

Christine sounds about right.......demon car. It's like that girlfriend that messed you about, you know you shouldn't go there but just can't help it

Joking aside........are you going for the Pony ?

Does the steering wheel turn or is it fixed in position ? After all, it's a bit too dangerous to attempt anything as reckless as a corner isn't it ?

Saying that, I bet in a straight line it'll be a LOT of fun !

you need to do a little research..... The new 2015 Mustang has all new independent rear suspension.. Reviews of the handling characteristics are extremely positive, and in some tests it's lapped faster than BMW M3, and other highly regarded cars....p

Besides, it can't be any worse than a 23 year old 445 bhp car made in a shed in Blackpool...

Good lad Quinny........hope it cheers you up mate.

On behalf of George...Mustangs are ste

I don't buy the 'volume' excuse. These are not high volume tyres for Kwik Fit or anyone. They are exotic rare sizes! I would imagine a dealer could sell more given that the vehicles these fit is all that they see - if the price was right!

Ohh and please don't assume that an Aston main dealer wont absolutely mangle your rim or leave it covered with fitting soap

Is it true that many of the lower cost tyre vendors supply relatively 'old' stock? If so does that matter at all and how would you know?

This is true and you would know by the DOT code on the side of the tyre.
How old is too old is another question i dont have the answer to
You could buy a 3 yr old tyre and do low mileage and end up with a 6 or 7 yesr old one.

+1. Tyre Leader .co.uk has different pricing for the same tyre but different DOT. Generally the limit of tyre age I would use up to is 5-7 years.

I have recently bought Michelin Pilot Cup on my 996T and the rears are only £120 each but they are DOT 4712 (47th week of 2012). OK for me as my 996 does c. 12k a year, and even alternating between winters and summers, I would definitely use the tyre up by 2017/2018.
