get em free!!!!!!
remember you dont want tread on the tyres for trackdays, as tread squirms around a slides about, so you go to any trye place and ask nicely if you can have worn out quality makes or named brands fo tyres that you know wil be good on track, as they have to pay for disposal of them we almost always get them!! must admit tho we do keep a set of 2 new goodyear eagles on rims just in case its raining!!! fit them n the front obviously cos the back usually follows the front!! and you can always catch the back  when it lets go but you want the front to grip!!! ;D

You remember the good bits and not the bad.  My rear arches were going for the second time when I sold it.  Some of the box-sections weren't perfect either.

Only 85k miles when I sold it (1989 3.0 12v CD 14 years old).  Only really ever changed the pads.

Yeah but everything else, and the problems adds to the drama of the Senator  :D

I wish I hadn't had my head in my Omega's front wheel arches yesterday ...... there's more rot in the chassis legs than I thought .... or would like.  :'(
