...and the 888's?  :popcornsoda:

Have only driven back from citylink depot (in horrendous traffic)

So how's the diff then?

Undicided, dont feel as much 'tugg' as people talk about but will give it a good drive when I get chance & is safe to do so.   :driver:  Perhaps having Falkens on before was too much for the diff to compensate for

....That's the way!  :happy2:

Get to know it gradually, build it up slowly (just like a new woman in your life) - It's much more rewarding.

Met up with 'Monte' Carlo today.  What a smashing bloke, great to  meet you after all the conversations, PMs & banter Carlo  :happy2:

Felt a bit like reverse hospitality with you fetching Winston treats & cookies  :ashamed:  :party:  Shame you couldn't take 4 of my favourite German lagers as a thank you  :drinking:















Car looked stunning too  :notworthy: :drool: :drool:
