Default Time for a slight change

Well finally, after a month off the road, the "have to import tyres cause neither Pirelli (not that I would fit them anyway) or Michelin GCC had any stock......" arrived. MPSC+ fitted

Decided to take the green alien for a slight cosmetic change too - removal of the graphics followed by professional detail including removal of all the swirls etc.

Picking her up later and feel I am going to collect a new car - its a great feeling. Will take some pics and post.

Congrats man, your Trofeo story is doing the rounds in town. Though this may be news to you, the N2 vaccum pump is said to have been the culprit.

I've got a few things on mine to try out on the 20th. You gonna be there?

I struggle to understand how this can be the culprit when no-one from pirelli has actually seen the tyre. My only concern was one of safety and for pirelli to check it out. Never mind it's history now but I will never use pirelli's again.

Won't be there on 20th as I am doing autodrome on 21st.

Have fun and stay safe.

Who said Pirelli said the N2 was it? :-)

Let me know how the MPSCs are. I'd like a head to head on the same car... I am undecided between the trofeos and the MPSCs.

Well I got her back from the polishing space ship and have to say I prefer the plain version...

Hey John - yes you did Sir - they are - to put it in a rather British way - little rascals.

Guys - thank you for the comments on new look of the car - I am really pleased with how it's turned out and glad I took the decision to remove the stickers - the block colour just seems to suit the car.
