You lot don't have a clue what your on about  ::)
We all know Wanli ditchfinders are the best tyre around ;D ;D


Had them fitted to my 2.6 CD manual........at £50 a corner.

I found them not as bad as their reputation suggests.

What did you do with the old tyres Lizzie, bearing in mind  they were virtually new?

I let the dealer have them.  Cannot be bothered to have them as they are of no use to me :D :D ;)


Probably on Ebay within the hour. ;)

That is fine with me, as the blokes down at Tyreweb, the tyre and brake specialists I use, are excellent.  They have looked after me and my cars for about 12 years now, and have saved me money whenever possible.  Giving me great discounts, and recommending actions that reduce the money to be spent.  I know many of them by their Christian names, especially the long serving manager, and when they give me a quote they honour it no matter what happens thereafter.

I remember once the manager, Fred, gave me a quote for doing a job, but they actually spent 3x the time (about 3 hours) doing the work due to problems.  They still stuck to their quote of about £50! :y :y

So if they make a bit from selling some nearly new tyres, so be it :D :D :D ;) ;)

Love is in the air, Lizzie. :-* :-*

Seriously though, top notch mechanics, fitters, and general helpers are as rare as rocking horse droppings these days. :y

Being a woman helps.......I've tried showing a bit of leg and fluttering my eyelashes but it doesn't seem to work for me. :'( :'(


I've even dressed up like the guy from 'BetVictor'....but all to no avail. ;D ;D
