ts is it? With a reg like that it HAS to be a PH'er !!Not that I'm making excuses (
), but, with the outside temperature reading 15°C at one point, the winter tyres were way out of their comfort zone. ESP kicking in in fifth in the dry! More than a little uncomfortable at times. So which one were you? Black SLK AMG?

Indeed Sir. You actually gave me an excuse to take it out of eco mode and use the flicky paddle things! I was quite impressed at it still reading 29mpg once home! ), but, with the outside temperature reading 15°C at one point, the winter tyres were way out of their comfort zone.

Fresh set of winter tyres is what you need mate
come on you know it makes sense ...
Sorry! I've rudely failed to reply to this twice now. I might (note: might) be tempted, but I doubt that I'll need to replace the current set before winter is out (although they won't manage a third year). When were they moulded? (Hint: each tyre has a little lozenge on the sidewall with a four didget number. The first two are the week number of the year and the second two are the year, so this week would be 5214.) and the price would need to be attractive come on you know it makes sense ...
Well, it is my daily driver (and at 3-5°C, the tyres were behaving themselves!). Here's a couple of snaps that I took when I got home yesterday. I was going to post them just to upset you all again 
Sorry, but I think that I have to pass on the tyres for three reasons. Firstly, I'm unsure how long I'll have the car, but if I run it through a third winter it will need new rubber. Secondly, by next winter they'll be six years old, and seven in their second season. And thirdly, Storage space!

Hi Andrew! Not been here in a while. I was on my way to Cairo when Dickie drove my car. I arrived to a 5-word text: “Your car is f****** fabulous!”
Thought that was quite an accolade, and testament to Rick’s work.
Almost 5 years on from the engine rebuild. And now with 127,200 on the odo. Still love it.
