£197 for one tyre!! Bloody hell Mike, I paid about £90 each for the monsters on the back of mine (265/40/17) and £70 each for the fronts (235/40/17) from Tyretraders.com. Krap-Fit are ripping you right off!!

As Markjay said, it's definitely woth paying Tony Bones a visit at Wheels-In-Motion over at Hemel Hempstead (just a couple of miles off the M1 (just past the intersection with the M10). Had my done a few weeks ago and a major improvement in steering and braking

And you had the alignment done too!?!?!?  

I had that done not long before I sold you the car. Was it out by much? Wonder if it's worth me trying to get my money back. It wasn't cheap!!

Hi rod - long time no speak.
Yeah they were out a lot, the front offside tyre looked ok from the outside but on the inside had worn down to the steel belt!! Rear alignment and camber was also a fair bit out. Might be worth trying to get your money back - I could always send you a copy of the alignment report.

Hi rod - long time no speak.

Yeah mate, been on holiday and concentrating on other things like sorting out my recent 'track day' aquisitions so haven't had much time to catch up on what's going on in Omegaland.

Unbelievable! I was quite confident in their abilities too! Might have something to do with the wheels upsetting the equipment but even so, they never highlighted that might be an issue.

Sorry about that Bob. I'm feeling fairly bad that you've had a bit of trouble with the car. I did endeavour to sell you a sound motor, I hope you know that.

Anyway, hopefully I'll be on here a bit more frequently now.

Hey don't even start to feel bad mate, cars can be sold in the best faith but you can't predict what problems might be manifesting without you knowing. Don't think I've ever bought a car that I haven't had to chuck money at to get right.

..........and hey, you know "Big Daddy" is being well cared for since you parted company.

..........and hey, you know "Big Daddy" is being well cared for since you parted company.

<Sigh!> Yeah I know that bud' and good on you too.

Still miss it though. Just been on a bit of a tour in the 'Funtractor' and while it did the job, it didn't do it with the same 'pace and grace' that the Daddy would've.

Been sneaking little runs in SWMBO's Elite just for a healing fix if you know what I mean.

Oh well, next time you're down this neck of the woods you'll have to pop in and take Big Daddy out for a quick fix

Wasn't far from you last Wednesday but got fouled up in the roadworks between J25 & J27 of the M25. Then our wee lass soiled her nappy and needed fed so I had to get off the Motorway and got lost going round the North circular. Didn't have any choice as the smell was awfull and it was no good opening a window 'cos it was over 30 degrees outside!!

The fun of family holidays and the open road eh!?!?  

Actually we had a great time.
