just swappped my front tyres from 225/45/17 dunlops to 235/40/17 eagle f1's as it was understeering a bit to much at knockhill for my liking.
just got to fit my rear trailing arm bushes,braided brake lines and change the brake fluid and i am ready to go.

One of the things I'm looking forward to the most:


Top social atmosphere with all the gang again





May even defile the museum exhibits again as well



And won't do this to the jeep at the Offroad centre again, as it cost too much money to fix:



Bring it on!!
that steak looks fooking gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!

You what? Seriously? Damn expensive YES, always busy. BUT by far the BEST food I've ever eaten in Germany.

Pinocchio is so damn cheap and such huge portions the place is hard to resist.

Also had great food at the restaurant just below the castle

That was a bad year for the car's in our gang wasn't it? Stu's (Nicole driving) wheel / tyre removal situation

My dear / front of car interface issue

IIRC Alex got a little close to the armco in his RA Subaru too - remember the stones and mud wedged into the bead of both wheels!

Your slight errrrr contact issue as well!

Yet we go yet again - as a petrol head it HAS TO BE DONE!

Si, if you think the steaks in Sabine's place are good, you GOT to try the steaks in the place were Michael stays, there AMAZING.

I love Pinocchio's too, 5 Euro for a pizza the size of a table, cant beat it!
