[Leanne]

I might be going to Goodwood but not with you saying I'm a '********* with a swirly car' hahahahahaha

I'm not sure if there is a Breakfast meet this coming month but there may be another event on. Definitely be at whatever the next one is though.

not another breakfast club till August 7th I think, but there is FOS starts the 30th.

Nice one Leanne, I didn't think there was one until August now. Will be keeping an eye on the calendar.

 

[Leanne]

I think it is classics in Aug then only 2 more left this year I believe.

 

[Alex_225]

This year goes far too quickly! lol

I know the guys from Built-Not-Bought.co.uk are keen to go to the Breakfast meets so I'll be going to the rest of the Breakfast meets this year. Which means hopefully I'll get to meet some more of you lot.

 

[Leanne]

yeah let me know I only live like 2 minutes away from there lol

 

[Alex_225]

I certainly will.

But on a slightly more tyre/wheel orientated point, my wheels didn't arrive today. They were expecting them in stock yesterday, then today but they're not available until Monday so have to wait until Tuesday. Plop!

 

[Leanne]

Aww suckage! fingers crossed you will get them then

 

[Alex_225]

I know it sucks donkey balls haha. Thing is I'm not actually going to get a chance to get them on the car in the next few weeks anyway but I'm being impatient.

I wanted to polish and seal them this weekend. Oh well.

 

[Leanne]

theres always next weekend

you have no room to talk!

 

[Alex_225]

Thank you, Maggi is easily as OCD as me!! lol

 

[maggi200]

Dunno what you're all on about! My car is filthy and has been all week, and isn't getting cleaned this week either :lol: in fact she aint getting used!

 

[Leanne]

filthy no way need proof

 

[Alex_225]

Cars used daily do get dirty, the Mrs Twingo does get mucky within normal expectations.

It's how badly you feel the need to clean it that determines the OCD though haha

I think the 205/40 R17 would look even better as it fills the arches just a little bit more... Besides that, I like beefie tryes, like slicks on a tarmac rally car for example! Isn't 205/40 R17 cheaper also? And more manufactures to choose from?

 

[Mr_Ben]

Yes the 205/40 R17 is a more readily available size, and therefore cheaper.

Personally I'll be looking at 16's or even 15's for track use, less rolling weight and even cheaper tyres.
