Bloody weather!
I think it's the car, it's great in these conditions We had to pull all our vans off the road yesterday after 5 crashes within an hour of it starting to snow

Goodyear Eagle F1's they got a bad press by Evo Magazine on a 600+bhp Mustang GT but on my little Scooby they work wonders

It used to always drift in the wet round small roundabouts, which was ok when I'm on my own but not ideal with passengers

Shame you cant try different tires before you buy them. But the tires you mentioned Goodyear F1 are a good tires. Think Jo will agree

Car fixed.....again, thanks to Dave at Scooby Tech, I am the proud owner of a brand new brake calliper and a nice set of Mintex pads

Costing me that much to keep the bugga on the road I won't be able to afford fuel if it carries on

Mine's developed a bit of a noise on start-up that disappears straight away. God only knows what that is. I must give Dave a ring before it develops into something expensive.

What fuel are you good people using?
I've been on Tesco Momentum 99 which Simon (JGM) mapped it on.

Today I had no choice but to use Shell V-Power and the car seems more responsive.
It's probably all in my mind but have any of you experienced this before?

Use V-Power myself though its the new V-Power Nitro now, some of the guys recon their car runs smother on the Nitro though no power gains so far.

Have heard some say V-Power better than Momentum and vice versa could all be in the mind Lol
