Luxury. The feckers I had to put on my BMW 750 were £299 each (plus VAT). I nearly fainted the first time I needed a new set.

Feck me... that's more than I paid for the Volvo... and just for one...

I paid 106.9 per litre for BP Ultimate the other day (Stow on the Wold).

104.9 here

Experts say it is not so much 'if but when' petrol will hit £1 a litre

Good experts then. I paid 106.9 per litre for BP Ultimate the other day (Stow on the Wold).

Tyers for the Jag are about £110 each - and there is only one type that fit!!!

So what colour would the 'green' tyres be?

Silly boy!
The "Green" tyres would still be black...only they would be coloured black using a Carcinogenic Chemical Colourant tested on Rats, proven only to harm humans if taken over the recommended daily intake......

Apparently the wunderkind in Brussels have come up with a bright idea:

Take the carbon black out of tyres coz it is alleged to be carcinogenic.

Result: instead of lasting 6 or 7 years, they'll now last about 2... and this is supposed to reduce the 100 million tyres a year that end up in landfill...

Ouch I paid £25 each for the goodyear ones on my rover 414! They were *new* not remoulds as well.

Wow, now those are serious experts. I'm going to put my neck on the line and say it is not so much 'if but when' petrol will hit £2 a litre.

I've never managed to make a tyre last more than a year.


Must be the 800bhp and lack of traction control in my Nissan Micra.
