Pilot Sports manufactured 4705? 8 year old tyres. I guess it doesn't matter as it's probably never driven anyway.

Better yet owners globally say that the new Super Sports work so much better on the car as to make it far safer at speed and much improved levels of handling, quicker times etc at the Ring. Came in for big debate after the fast and furious guys accident...

Yeah, that's why I'm pointing it out. The CGT is gaining a bad safety reputation when the issues lie with the owners and drivers. I don't understand the logic behind owning a car like that and leaving rock hard factory tyres on it, but as I said it's probably never driven.

I wasn't at the Porsche Parade (still grumpy about that). Was this the car at that?

My cars are gassed up so no need to fill at Drury and once a convoy starts it's like herding cats to get them to stop and restart easily.
I'll be stopping for gas (and coffee!!) sorry - will let the 964s have the remainder of the drive to themselves without the ugly cousin!

And I guess I have to change the avatar now as I believe the 964 has found a good new home... Bit of a sad moment I have to say. Not concluded until after WOF is done Monday but I think we are done. Thanks Paul for the intro. Now just need to see if we can convert to an RSG member!!

Great to see you making the most of that Italian tune-up process. Unless Jo is just grabbing on and 'phantom braking', those involuntary movements may be the mammalian startle response. Hit things any harder in those tunnels with a less seasoned passenger and you might be wishing you'd found seat covers on the options list!

If they still have the Z221s on them I might be interested as the second set to take to SITT.
Maybe we can talk tomorrow.

The rears have some tread left but the fronts are down to cords on the outside!

Wheels are actually better than track wheels as they were refurbished after I bought them - but could do dual duty.

What's wrong with your frankend90's?

Nothing wrong with the Frankenstein D's except they already have road tyres on them so I would like to keep them that way to give me more options.
