Alright Chris,

I was in the Crystal Grey(silver) STi, was having a good day till i damaged my tyre after my little spin in the morning. Tyre man going home early didn't help and no helpful tyre fitters in Winsford or Northwich meant i missed out on the afternoon.

oh no!!
did it just pop off the rim?
my mate got a full set of tyres off him for 200 quid he was drive costin (funny little blue two seater).
i had a brown trouser moment at lodge corner, got one of the back wheels got onto the grass but managed to catch it and i caught it when it flicked back the other way. Would like to say it was shear driving skill but think it was luck as i didn't have a clue what was going on, it happened so quick!!

Yeah mate, it was ok when i was talking to you coz it was parked on the bit which had popped off. I drove down the Shell at dinner to fill up for the afternoon and thats when i noticed it.

Called in at Rapid Fit in the Ford dealer where my mate works and it was sorted in 10 mins.

Alright mate.

I remember chasing you and a Clio 16v for about 2 laps. I'll be honest i couldn't keep up with the 2 of you. Pair of you cocking your wheels at every opportunity. They did look very cool aswell.

lol cheers m8. Was the 1st time I really got to give it the beans on track and it lapped (pun fully intended ) it up.

The damage was done a month or so ago thanks to a bonnet ripping off a friends car at speed and hitting mine. Mine got written of as a cat d but I got more cash than it was worth and managed to buy it back for 2k! I defo need to get my better pads on and maybe some semi slicks as it was understeer city lol

See you again

Chris
