Which meant the greenhouse is the closest it's ever been to actually being a greenhouse (as opposed to a car parts storage shed :lol: )

Did someone else take it for an MOT for you then? (or had you just forgotten to reconnect the vtec solenoid in? :lol: )

Bought some new shoes for the Audi yesterday, they arrived today

Is it bad that the little sharks were a factor in my choice of tyre :lol: :oops:

At any rate I look forward to trying these out :D 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.
