Default Open Day @ Elite, Rainham

Am currently trying to organise another day at Elite, though Barry is on holiday and won't be back until Friday 7 April, so have provisionally set aside the 14th of May. Though this does clash with the Redline rumble @ Santa Pod, if people want to go to SP, let me know and I'll re-arrange.

Who wants tyres/geometry etc done

Back in Feburary paid approx £70 at elite for geometry. Definatley worth it, I was surprised how different the settings were to what I thought I had. Before I had nasty understeer on right lock but its not surprising when you look where the right wheel was pointing on the the before allignment reading.

Do those tyre prices include any discount? I'm curious as I seem to recollect paying very much the same for a set of proxes 215/40/17s back in January.Unfortunately won't be able to lay my hands on the invoice for a few days.
