Lovely Storm White. Good that you make sacrifices for the greater good.

Welcome to the forum lurker, looking at your join date. Good that someone encouraged you to venture onto the forum properly.

You took the words out of my mouth. Please do, tyres are sooooo important! Is that legal over there (can't remember) to run different tyres on an axle????

Repeat after me, .......... I will periodically log off the forum and go and drive my Zed and have a life.

The Bronzed One has come back from a few night trials/rallies over winter rather dirty after taking on sealed farming roads. Don't take pics when not clean. Keep a good layer of wax and detailing products on all surfaces and that will help a lot, including the interior.

That's just plain slack of the owner. Wonder how long it had been sitting for???

Black looks stunning when it's cleanly detailed.

Probably more a case, of dealers close to a big city would be more expensive given they'd be paying higher council taxes on their property, etc, etc, higher wages to staff, yadda, yadda.

It's somewhat tail happy.

I hope Zedley isn't afraid of heights.

Good that you're looking at good protective gear. Never ceased to amaze me some of the muppets that used to come into work, when I still worked in the industry, who'd only had minimal protective gear or cheap protective gear on. All I can say is cheese grater, as that's what it looks like when flesh meets the tarmac. Not nice!

So how long to do you get in each car?

Than van parking is shocking, given there's nothing either end.

So say for instance your toll road on the M6, what are the stats, does it actually run, and pay for it's self? Or similar to here where it doesn't, basically going backwards?

I should have video'd so you could have heard it too.

If it's new, surely they should provide you with a user manual.

Sounds great! Seems to have similar note to the 350 Stillen exhaust setup.

We have a handful of toll roads over this end of the pond. One is heavily used, having cost 100's of millions of dollars to build, and the toll doesn't cover cost of the administration or the build cost, and is a laughing stock basically and isn't well organised. It's works via automatic payment, toll booth (which is often down) or via phone. The only upside is it's bypassed a dangerous bit of road that's very extremely steep, keeping the very heavy vehicles off most of the time as they now have the alternate route. One other is a total joke due to the lack of use. It connects two cities, and is only about $1 each way, but cuts off a big distance, but people don't use it much. Have used both, mainly due to it saves time. But like most if the tolling gets to expensive people will revert to using the other routes. We have one other new bit of motorway, before it officially opened the powers that be were talking about $8 each way to use, everyone really jumped up and down and it's free to use. To put this all into perspective, more than 50% of the price of petrol here is tax and the price of vehicle registration has increased dramatically in the last two years. Always interested in what happens over there, as they model things here using what's happening in larger populations. Usually the most wasteful and unnecessary and proven not to work will be a go. Does that sound familiar?!

We do have regular meets, summer and winter. Mind the previous week we had one event I had to cancel due to heavy rain, couldn't risk our lot on wet paddocks doing a gymkhana. We go to lots of other events too. Always something happening. It does in some areas yes, might be because of the imported trees that grow like weeds here in our climate. The second stage is in Northern end of the Waikato which is quite flat, right in the heart of farming country. The first stage farming again, but very hilly.

Welcome. Given that most performance cars come with big shoes, tyres would probably be about the same as others.

Glad you put your glasses on.

Hoping your time with the 370 is much longer with no untimely demise.

Do a before and after pic.

Love the first pic. Jaffa looks great.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations. Lovely Azure or Daytona Blue depending on which country you're in.
