Whats the deal with the tyre fitter? There isn't much life left in my tyres and it would be very handy to get some new tyres fitted for the drive home. Obviously this would need to be booked in advance and it may already be too late to organise it.


Hi Peter

The guy has promised to do me a great deal so long as I let him know the sizes. He get a fair bit of work from us at the mo so it should be a decent discount. Let me know the sizes.

not very good for spectating, but should make tyre wear irrelevant, unless your name is cpt sideways that is

A few years ago now I did my first ever trackday & it snowed

Fingers crossed for some slip slidy action

I guess I'm going to find out the hard way whether my shiny new pixie boots leak as much as the old ones did! Looking forward to it.

So who needs snow. There is some perfectly good grass up there......saves on tyre wear

Hadn't really thought about it. I'm only going along for a gentle potter around my own video wouldn't be particularly interesting anyway, but I've got the kit and I'd be happy to produce some 'chase car' footage if anyone wanted to see themselves on film?
