Jonto,
It was me m8, saw the clio but didn't realise it was you, sorry thought you still had the mini. That meet at the cat & fiddle takes me back, first meet in a scoob, new tyres on that day and we go up snake pass! Seems like a life time and a few grands worth of mods ago.

I'm probably up for this - but could do with knowing exactly where we were going .
I'm also in Stafford. Green 1998MY with a P1 backbox... and loving it . Only had her for a couple of weeks...

Maybe we should have a mini convoy up to Stoke from Stafford, seeing as there will be at least three cars going from here and I'm not 100% sure where I am going!?
Say meet in the ShireHorse carpark (is that the right name?) - the pub on the roundabout just up from M6 J14 sliproad which joins Beaconside/A34?

Guys, if you are interested, I've found a supplier in Stoke who can offer a set of 4 toyo T1S 215/40/17 tyres for 70 quid a piece plus 25 quid to fit all 4.
I'm hopefully going to buy a set tomorrow and I'll keep you posted as to stock availability as it's a "while stocks last" offer.
Skoosh.
ps: cheapest I've found on any internet site is 77 quid, supplied only and some want carriage on top..

There is a tyre place up the Marston Road that were very good for Toyo when I needed a set. £40 a corner fitted for 195/50-15 - though it obviously wasn't on a Scoob!
Good bloke up on Tollgate Industrial Estate - Beaconsfied Tyre or similar. Tyrone is your man .

Jonto, Longton Motor Accessories on the strand in Longton are selling them for 70 quid a corner.
Ring Jamie on 01782-599304. He's put a set aside for my collection next wednesday ( payday ).
If you mention that I gave you the number as I've bought a fair bit of gear off him over the last few years.
Si.

Stafford tyres is the place on the Marston Road, though they will be a lot dearer than £40 a corner for 17"s!
I bought 4x Toyo 215/40/17's for £270 inc P&P from Leigh Tyres on 18/05/04 (01702) 474711 which works out at £67.50 per tyre, but then paid £40 to fit them (which I thought was dear) - some excuse about them being brand new alloys and needing to take their time to fit them.

I'm surprised he did that, obviously his gaffer wasn't around!
It's a better idea than a couple of mates who have used crowbars and sledgehammers before! (on 'old wrecks'!)

I'm probably in Manc the night before, so will meet you all at Meir Park (if I remember where it is!!) ... if I get lost I can always phone a friend!!
Need to get some new front disks on before that though (or just not use my brakes!!)
