Not decided yet John, depends on insurance and exactly what to do with the 'French beast!' More than likely an Aston I reckon, so long as she can get in and out of one, just gotta find one to try now!

I was bored this morning so went and did a little recee of some good old fashioned Dorset country roads around the back of the Horton Inn great fun !!. Found a good 2 mile loop with hump back bridge and small water splash , with no chance of any speed camar's so Dean should be ok with this one. LOL

Can someone post a map for this place.

I'll try to pop along - I'll be returning from Castle Combe to Portsmouth that evening - so I'll try to say hello.

Cheers

Terry

John,
Sod going through the water splash at any speed,I've seen what happens to the bonnets on the Rally cars, so my old tin shed wouldn't stand a chance.With my weight in the car I would probably sink and drown leaving you and Mike to rob bits from my car!!!
See you Monday(I was almost excited but that passed quickly)
Dean

Decided against it, I just luv the classic too much, if mine had leather I wouldn't even be looking, the interior gets a bit filthy taking it to building sites!!!!!

SG Yes a very good cause then, If you pop down to Pro Tyre in cabot lane Poole ask for Chris the manager he will look after you. They are part of the Mitcheldever tyres who are the cheapest tyre supplier in the UK. They would also be able to do a set of lowering springs as well, also they can do a decent geo check and fit the tyres without scratching the rims in the process. IMHO 17's would be fine they will look better give increased grip, not cost the earth to replace when they wear out and should handle Dorset's speed hump fetish.

Regards

John

Cheers John, that's a bit spooky actually as my Hubby has his bike tyres fitted there and came home only yesterday saying they had a great range of alloys to choose from so I had already arranged to pay them a visit this afternoon
