Message for Booster;

Do you have any problems with your wider tyres kicking up stone chips and damaging your paintwork? Our local councils in Scotland have the crazy idea of resurfacing the roads with tar and chips but never seem to sweep them up properly.

Regards, Jeff

Thanks for the advice Brian. I may keep mine as a Sunday car for the winter anyway. I'll pinch the wifes Omega as it has big mudflaps!!
Any tyre problems on the front wheels with wear? One of mine has wear on the inside due to incorrect camber. Getting it sorted next week in Edinburgh under warranty hopefully.
Jeff.

Hi Bob,

I will probably be heading up again on Friday so I won't make Saturday but thanks for the offer. If my meeting drags on and I miss the boat I'll certainly come along. Good to hear that there are more Monaro enthusiasts in Scotland and I'll try and attend meetings etc. if I'm able. Do you ever have days out at Knockhill? I fancy trying to get a lesson on track driving sometime to know what to do if the car starts to drift etc. I nearly went for one of these days when I had the Jag but it was a touch expensive as it included an overnight and slap up meal etc. Keep in touch,

Jeff

Dave,
I always have a bucket and shammy in the boot along with some Meg's mist and wipe to keep it shiny! If it's pi**ing down though it's probably wasted! Haven't done the mobile valet service yet but it could be arranged!

Cheers, Jeff
