Wheel off, spare on, then take it to a tyre place to get repaired.

Okay, all booked. Flights on eBookers - american airlines - £415 Hotel on hotels.com (via quidco) - £429 for 6 nights in a 4 star boutique hotel (and then £51 cashback from Quidco). Not bad...! http://www.ravelhotel.com

Thanks all, Yeh tonight i've found out it's far too expensive to stay in Manhattan, so looking at the other islands, this one seemed the best deal i could find. £71 per night is very cheap, and it's a 4*, and is only 10mins from Manhattan. Only down side is the poor reviews from the guests, saying its very loud (as there's a night club on the top floor!). http://www.ravelhotel.com/default.aspx?pg=gallery Flights - i'll check eBookers, thanks Maccaman. Oh, and since i grew up watching Home Alone, i've always wanted to stay in The Plaza hotel, just for a night to say i've done it... but for 1 night the cheapest room i could find was £662, so i'll be giving that a miss

Not booked it yet, but looking at 17th - 30th December... I've been going through TravelSupermarket.com and Lastminute.com, but you cant tell anything from the 2cmx2cm pictures they have on those sites ...i need some real opinions or experience... or someone with an apartment out there who wants to rent it to me...!

Because im not GAY-GAY-GAY-GAY, not GAY-GAY-GAY-GAY

How much was it per night, if you dont mind me asking...?

Fuel is between £1.55 and £1.70 a litre across France/Belgium/Germany, so factor that into your plans. Also Toll roads... they're about £1 per toll, but there can be a lot of them depending on your routes etc. The zed will be fine though and will eat up those miles.

Hey all, Im going to New York for Christmas, but on a budget... My Dad lives in upstate New York so i'll be spending christmas week with him, but i've got 6 days i can spend in New York City before i go up to his... but i dont really want to spend much, as im planning on being out most of the time... Has anyone stayed at any bargain motels in Manhattan...? Also - flights... the cheapest i can find is £460 per person for return flights... that seems expensive, or is this about right?? Any help much appreciated.

Looking good. Get a bit of tyre shine on those tyres...

Ha ha ha

Good news pal...

Cool, can i come... in your delorean?

Carlton sorry mate this list you've copied is about a month out of date, and entries are closed for this unfortunately. I'll refund you the payment now too...

All fixed and back to normal... managed to find another tyre and got it fitted today... but my pocket is now £170 lighter.

God man, thanks.

CHANGE IT! After witnessing a car leave the outside lane into the hard shoulder at a 90 degree angle and smack right into the barrier at 70+. It wasn't pretty and could have taken out a number of cars in it's path to the hard shoulder barrier! (Heading from Port Solent to Maidstone) I wouldn't want to drive round on a tyre which could pop at any moment. It's for your own safety mate. A costly replacement but life is priceless. Cheers pal - i've found a replacement (same type) on eBay for only £160, so that should be turning up tomorrow.

Yeh thanks all, i hadnt thought about the MOT. Tez, sounds like a 90 degree valve, see the pic below. So you think just fitting a standard valve will work? Sounds like a plan...

Hi all, I've had a slow puncture on my front right wheel since i got back from the 'ring a couple of weeks ago, so i took it to the garage this morning... He took the wheel off, and there is a small bulge on the inside edge of the sidewall... it's not immediately noticeable, but it is there... So anyway, we found the culprit to be a faulty valve (which he doesnt know how to fix?!), but regardless he said he wouldnt refit that tyre anyway due to the egg... To make matters worse, i have Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres fitted, but these have been replaced with the Assymetric versions, so the garage said they cant get any tyres the same as mine - so i have to either replace both front or all 4 tyres. So my questions in order are: 1. For a minor bulge in the tyre wall, is it necessary to replace the tyre? 2. Valves on Volk wheels... are they Volk specific or do any generic valves work? 3. Can anyone recommend a supplier for 1x Goodyear Eagle F1 tyre (non-assymetric). I have found one on eBay at £160, but cant find any on the usual supplier sites (camskill etc) Cheers.

Looks awesome.

All the tickets and passes arrived this morning Unfortunately Dobby and I will have to report to HQ for a track session briefing at 9am, and then we're on track at. 10am... I think we'll all need to meet at around 8am outside the venue to get in on time (i think someone mentioned earlier a good location? I could be wrong...) anyone local have any suggestions??

Had 2 zeds, both 2003 models... i did 30k in my first zed and 5k in my second, and neither have used any oil at all.

lol, with only 124 members...

Noooooooo i wont admit defeat. I heard it's still sold in France... i should have stopped off last week when i went to the 'ring. Tarmac... top idea, get on it bro...

My all time favourite beer was Kronenbourg Blanc but it was discontinued in the UK a couple of years ago... Does anyone know of any UK importers that might be able to get hold of it?
