At any rate I look forward to trying these out the rubber on the front of the car currently does not instil much faith in me so I haven't properly pushed it through the twisties yet...
@jjmartin349571 - the exact size I have on the lude. Let me know what you think, but I find the sidewalls are very soft and as such create a slightly "vague" effect on initial turn in. They do however seem to grip very well.

It's funny you say that, as soon as I picked them up I thought that the sidewalls felt more pliable than other tyres I have kicking about... I just put it down to the heat/them being new. I'll let you know how they feel on the A6, Although it is a fair bit heavier than the lude so might be tough to compare

Did you get to drive them raggagirl, or just pass?

You dont seem to be wearing any shoes and the tyres are in the way? What the deuce?

Could it be.... Am I finally replacing the handbrake cable on my BB4?!

The new handbrake cable is 99% installed...

But because nothing can ever go smoothly - does anyone know how to remove this fupper from the old cable? Seems to be rusted on

I half heartedly hit it with a hammer to no avail, then came inside and sulked for a bit (this also didn't remove it)

Not had a problem getting that bit apart before, it's the lever pin that normally seizes

Heat the bracket up should help?

If you're still stuck tomorrow let me know and I can see if I can get one off my breaker to put in post to you.

I may take you up on that if that's ok?? I'm still having no joy with this one

I haven't got a torch to heat it with unfortunately, and the amount of corrosion on there means it's not shifting with the tools I've got at my disposal

In exchange I'll get a quote on getting your AEM sent up to you, It doesn't weigh too much so I should be ok to cover the postage on our work account

Only one I didn't drive was the XBow as you have to pay separate for that and all they do is take u round the track, not actually drive it.
