  1. Prompt help needed for my poor tyre which has a huge bolt sticking out of it!! I was planning on changing my entire set from the Falkens to something a little more premium. I used to run the RE050's but swapped out to the Falkens to see how they faired and to be honest great value but lack performance. The problem is I need to swap out the damaged rear, do I go back to the RE050's or try something new? Problem is because this is an emergency I won't have the option to source the cheapest price so Bridgestones are out the question. I've picked 3 brands below: Avon ZV5 XL £189.70 per tyre fitted Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric £202.90 Yokohama Advan Sport £218.30 The RE050a are coming out £238 per tyre fitted. They are doing a discount for 4 tyre's so I'm seriously contemplating a full change.  Question is who's had experience of the above and can assist with providing an opinion. The problem I have is I really must get them tomorrow as I don't really fancy driving around with a bolt in the tyre. Dan if you're there comments always welcomeÂ
  2. You just tell her it only cost £400 and then you distract her by presenting her with an expensive handbag and/or shoes That kinda thing brings back memories. Wales May 2010 - CLB detailing are providing detailing goodies to Z members. I see them using Dodo Juice Supernatural on martinmac's car. Stunning wax, I have to purchase. £75 later and a small pot of wax in my hand I re-enter the dinning area - the Mrs says "whats that" - "It's hair gel my darling". "Oh okay" she says..... Win
  3. Maybe you should have got into painting over detailing Some you win, some you lose, and we all learn by our mistakes. It would be handy if I had the skills and facilities to undertake spraying a vehicle, but the end result is what it is and I have to move on from that. I might give you a shout in that area
  4. Funny because it was actually a bonnet I was looking for. (Only kidding). I will be looking for some odd's and sod's so I'll pm you later with the items, they're only small bits I need
  5. Lee, are you bringing any goodies for the weekend?
  6. Wouldn't say no to a pop at this..... just need someone to hold the camera. I'll send over some pics this weekend.
  7. Now that's just rude But could be a fair indication of transporting too many pies on the offside part of the vehicle. Sounds like it needs a small amount of adjustment. Abbey do 4 wheel laser alignment

    Buy them! PF for the win. Still got my PF pads on the rear, some two years and 20k miles on them. Can't say that about the fronts now on second set in the same timespan.

    I would take a stab at being one of three options or all three. Cooling Allow gases to escape more efficiently Added braking performance If I'm wrong you're more likely to get a correct answer from Alex who sells them
  11. Take the card off and have a look, something maybe loose or rubbing etc. If that fails take the door off - simples - no more rattle
  12. So is the Transfagarason highway now off the plans? (gutted cos I've been trying to sway the Mrs into a 2 week drive!) GLWTS but you really don't want to sell her just yet
  13. I suppose Colin and I will have to find you a few nice roads then Ian. Ha ha used up one of my raffle prizes in Nov as you know visiting the Moreton and the hills with my good half, despite having google maps couldn't find the road I was looking for, so I was quite gutted so yes need some great *special* roads as always. Looking to work on the suspension before Wales and if found hopefully a SC but that all depends on finding a revup version. The car will also need further paint touch ups ie respray bonnet and roof due to my new Azure colour. So there's lots to do till May
  14. SPD - just seen you're not attending..... tut tut tut.... but then Aus is a great alternative! You'll be missed over the weekend (that's for sure)
  15. Can't friggin wait (Won't need to take any spare spark plugs for this one, as the NOS is going )
  16. Are you saying "Ahm oot" Mr. Rtbiscuit? I was going to say the same Let me tell you where I am - I'm out!
  17. I was at a supercar experience a while back, and in the briefing prior to driving a Lamborghini Gallardo, they were discussing the type of driving which wasn't permitted. They explained they have gone through 2 clutches on the Lambo, costing something like £4k a pop. So expect costs based on disrespectful or abusive drivers.

    Help...

    This surely is a contender for the top 100 ?
  19. I think 181 views isn't that bad Graham, rather impressive

    Can't vote on my iPhone for some reason so I'll pop a vote on from work in the morning - good luck mate
  21. You'll love it Dan - best wax by far - until something else I try which betters it's performance, application and overall presentation. (Smells nice too )
  22. Don't worry you're not missing much! Still nice to put a name to a face etc, and as he's Azure too, it's win win situation.
