My car is 05 plate, bought brand new in April. It's covered just 9700 miles and the front tyres are nearly gone! Gonna replace with 4 Yokahama's for the winter months cos 200 horsepower through the front wheels on summer tyres is scary  4 x Yokahama Parada Spec 2 fitted = £440 Ouch Need to do oil change tomorrow too, thats £40 gone! I love it. |

For all the cost i wouldn't swap it for the world though. Leaving stuck up cunts in BMW's (Not you Ash ) for dead is so much fun. |

I was going to say that wouldn't pass the 10p test.
Was it an old or new 10P I can't remember now?

Pie, I tend to go to Bells in town. I find they're cheap and reliable.
