first drive in my 2 11

[ed]

Pointless to have a car like that on road tyres IMHO

[robin]

48R's will better any road tyre on road and track, especially in the dry and even in the wet as long as they have plenty of tread left.

BUT they are miserable compared to road tyres when there's any sort of loose surface, as has been found out more than once the hard way.

On the 2-11 I would keep the 48s, but if you like your B-road runs to be quick keep a keen eye on the road surface ahead, and watch out for debris around any unsighted corner. Come on, I'm sure you can post a picture to keep the mob happy

Cheers,
Robin

if i was only using the 2-11 on the road or had a spare set of wheels i would put a set of these on.

Hi SImon that would pretty much be my fantasy garage if I was making one up too. Less the Porsches though.

Anyone else thinking..

Yup!

PS - liking your new sig, Greg

[GregR]

Cheers, Jason.

I was thinking of asking for some advice actually - the standard tyres on the 27 are a bit skittish in the wet. Anyone aware of any better wet weather tyres for it?

Also, the fronts seem to be a wearing a little unevenly as you can see in the pic below of 'Suki' undergoing a c-service last year:-



Is it a case of simply getting a geo done you think, or is there a more fundamental issue? For reference I'm running the fans at 27,600 lbf.

Steady guys, eh?

Lets not shoot him full of holes on a hunch...

[tut]

Agreed, but it would be good to see some pics of a couple of them together, especially the Lambo.

In the old days Iain Thomas was the winder upper, normally posted as a girlie so got lots of bites, but sometimes as Ali G's alter ego.

I'm still in love with Elizabeth...

[tut]

Well remembered Graeme. I still have all 103,601 posts from SE_1 on my hard drive. Hell of a sized .pst file.

Yeah I know, get a life, but I am a sentimental old barsteward and they were good times.

Was she the Swedish helicopter pilot?

Yes I think so, Iain has a very fertile and imaginative mind............... maybe he is SS?

[tut]

Who could forget Elizabeth, the Helicopter nurse and model, and Kirino, the Japanese Doctor. Of course they were all taken in except me. There were no indications in her postings.

"Graeme, that is an absolutely beautiful car!
I'd love to come in your car with you! I can't wait to go for a ride!
Thank you for the address. I hope to come with you soon too. It would be
very exciting. I have Lotus Sport 111. It is a very nice car with black wheels and
seats. It is 175horsepower I think and will go 100 in 5.3 seconds. I like it
very much but I have to wait for the engine to get warm before I can go
faster. I do not know much about engines I am blond!! Hahaha. My friend told me
this was nice car and I love in it as soon as I see it. I have not yet had
anyone come in the other seat with me. There may be chance on this trip
maybe if you like.

I have to go to London for my assignment it is at a new agency http://www.bossmodels.com/.
I want to make good impression which is why I like maybe to take my new car.
My father has Jaguar which I could take but it feels to big for me inside.
I put on attachment picture of my car for interesting.

Just to show you that I was not taken in:-

Elizabeth
From your website, I presume that you are a model in your spare time.
I have just sent in my application and CV to your “Models Wanted” section, so hope to hear from you shortly
tut
Ps I can supply my own zimmer frame.
Pss My wife, picture attached, is also interested in getting into models. Maybe we could get together sometime for a threesome.


Hi tut

Your wife is very nice! I am a model as my big job. I do it because I like it but the money helps too. I model for mainly the diving equipment makers for cataloges. It is good work and I also keep my clothes on which is good. I have taken cloths off before but not only for the assignments like next week in London. It is not so easy for me to do as I am shaking being too shy.

Your wife should model too I cannot think she must not already. Do you joke with me? It is not my agency but if it was I would have Lotus for every day of weeks! My other job is also as nurse on helicopters. I see picture attach for your interest. This was taken in Alaska when I was there for year doing glacier rescues.

I want to do more model work but it is very hard to find people to photo shoot me for portfolio. All people I meet to do this wants me bare. This is not fair I think as I only want catlogue work not glamour. Your wife should send me pictures or portfolio and I will take next week to London. She will be very much liked in my office as she seems very pretty.

Elizabeth
That is a big co-incidence since I was a helicopter pilot, and also had several nurses in my chopper.
Even more so as my wife also likes to wear diving suits.
We do have a lot in common.

Stop it, stop it, I'm greetin' here!!!!!

Hi Graeme!

I would very much like some Scottish meats. I have all has been some
sosauges which were too salty. I buy them from Tesco in the Fort William
but the taste was not too nice. Do you bring food to the trip or will we
have Shug buying it?

I have heard lots about Scottish meat it is very tender. Will there be many
mouths with Cristina and me as we are only small and hope to not be too much
in your faces. We can be loud too much if we are happy with party wine!

I am joking but I do want to try lots of meats because protiens are good for
you and I have to keep healthy skin for photo shoot.
