spotted your tyre tracks the other night, were you coming from inverkip direction? Was trying to understand how you mounted the roundabout on the other side?!

scotty, im running continental sport contact 3, that roundabout just drives like there is diesel spilt constantly.

Whoever thought to name a tyre "contact sport" wasn't really looking at the bigger picture, I think ... unless they were planning on sponsoring caravan racing or demolition derby type stuff ...

Cheers,

I took the car to work today... 30 odd miles... didnt have any problems... have noticed it seems to be rattling around the dash more... or maybe thats coz I'm listening really close for anything out of place.

I totally crawled past the roundabout today. Looking at the bit of grass I totalled f'd up, I was quite lucky not to go straight into signpost(s) or even the big hedge in the middle. Yeah, was coming from Inverkip direction. I was in fast lane, probably went into the roundabout too fast considering it was wet. And just as I was about to exit I gave it too much (obviously :)). Back end went flying out left, I kinda turned in and shot in towards the top of the roundabout, finished with spin in the middle. All happend really fast, being half dead on a Monday morning didnt help. :)

I really need to get myself to a track day....
