Hi all.

Had a great night out. thanks to all that helped set this up.

As one of the Muf leaders i stayed up near front and kept our lot in check people.

I'm glad that we managed to surprise you guys. Every collection point we made along the way i re-itterated that we are out to set examples and build inter forum friendships. I hope that this was recieved well. I believe it was.

HOPEFULLY SOMETIME IN THE SUMMER WE WOULD BE WELCOME AGAIN.

Our next meet is going north but you are all more than welcome to come along.

Finally I'd just like to mention... TINY.... That radio call about us all waiting back mate... That was me!

Glad you heard it.

Take care all and i'll speak to you soon.

Waz... not amused dude... wanted to catch up with you.

 

Sounds like yet another classic night!!!!

 

Was hopeing to see your REAR in the flesh, after seeing all the Pics?

 

Have you turned then Baz?

The reason I never turned up...


Tyre blew on the M20 I smashed headfirst into the central reservation then Torvill & Deaned across and hit the hard shoulder barrier!

Oops

No-one else involved just me and my pride and joy- i was only shaken up- 'kin scary

Insurance looking tonight/tomorrow to determine her fate!!

Trevor

 

Good luck m8 let me know if there's anything i can do to help !

 

Ouch - sorry to hear about that.

Hopefully the insurance company'll sort it

 

Ouch.

Glad you are ok.

Just out of interest, what make of tyres were you using when it blew?

 

Falken on the fronts ( they came with the wheels) but they were down to about 3mm and funnily enough i had ordered a full set of new tyres on the friday night (order now cancelled!!)

Cheap= Death?

 

Kinn gutted reading this

Thank christ that you are ok mate

Thanks for trying to support our cruise as you always do Hopefully you will make it next time

Keep us posted trev

Tiny ...

 

Thats one thing I try never to scrimp on....tyres. Brakes are the same, always pay for quality tyres and brakes. Falkens aren't bad though are they?

Glad you are ok though mate, hope the car isn't too bad.

 

Sorry to hear that T.....

Hope it all gets sorted out for you.....

Maybe it's a chance to get a proper colour like WR Blue?
Just playing......

 

Why SILVER is the FASTEST colour, Everyone knows that.

 

Looks like bads news!!!!!

Glad all are well ....

 

Lady Fozz says "You are one of us now Natalie" She and Paula look forward to seeing you at more events!

 

I've got Falkens on the rear of my WRX and I find them OK, so may not be the tyre(s) that caused it?

 

See, what did I tell you earlier in the year?, the ESC are slowly taking over Calor

 

Useful stuff on here about wheels & tyres. Interesting bit about tread depths.

Car Bibles : The Wheel and Tyre Bible

"Minimum legal tread depth does not mean "safe".
Actually it's wise to change your tyres before you get to the wear indicator, as by this point, the effectiveness of the tyre in the wet is pretty limited, and its grip in the dry won't be as sharp as it was when new. In 2006, Auto Express magazine in the UK did some pretty rigorous testing on "legal" tyres. They are campaigning to have the legal minimum in England increased from 1.6mm up to 3mm. Their reasons are backed up by testing : at 1.6mm, despite still being perfectly legal, the stopping distance is increased by 40% in the wet over tyres that have 3mm of tread left. They performed the test using the same car, under the same conditions with the same driver. The only thing that changed was the tyres. The Fifth Gear TV program performed a graphic demonstration of the problem by equipping two cars with different tyres. The lead car had 3mm of tread left, the trailing car had 1.6mm. The cars were driven at 50mph at a distance of 3 car lengths apart - not safe, but representative of the real-world. When the lead driver performed an emergency stop, the trailing driver reacted nearly instantly, but despite years of training and an ABS-equipped car, he slammed into the lead vehicle still doing 35mph."

I read a leaflet about that the other day whilst I was in Elite.

 

best get my wheels off... around 3mm left...
