    Bought winter tyres last year. With new wheels too otherwise you risk damaging tyres every time changing them over. The winter tyres/wheels live in the Porsche hotel during the summer months.

    Toured Scotland this from top to bottom. Bit weird doing so in Deutsch plates. Every other Deutsch car on the road would park next to me and start talking to me like I was one of them.

          Porsche have gotten better at interiors recently. I almost liked the Cayman at one point

          Sadly some of the the exteriors (Panamera, Cayenne) are borderline crimes against humanity....
          Have you tried switching it off and back on again??

            Tyres were 285/30/19. All prices below for Pirelli P Zeros.

            KwikFit - All in 435 + local branch for me and big comany to whinge at if anything goes wrong.
            Black circles - 450 + a few quid for valve, balancing etc.
            Tyre Shopper (Web reseller for National Tyres) 497.70

            They generally can't match the online prices if you just wander in but Black Circles tends to be independent fitters of varying quality and National Tyres is just damned expensive nowadays.
            I got four 21" P Zeros at the Bentley main dealer, fully fitted, tracked and balanced for £900 all in. Bargain.

                    Yeh, would usually honestly say you cannot go wrong with a Honda

                    Good luck

                      I 360'd in the fast lane on the M11 in a blizzard and came to rest against the Armco in the centre reservation. Cars not seeing me until the last minute and I thought the end was nigh. The rozzers were there quickly and closed the M11. I managed to get my 20 year old BMW 325i started again with just a few scuffs on the side and got a police escort to the next junction. Gave them a cheery wave and went about my business.
