My first thought (having substantial Hi-Spec experience) was bet they don't fit, mine didn't (300 x 28)! But I would have thought you'd be ok with your 17" rims.

Blipi has 3 days to ID steering problem, order parts and fix, Fix exhaust gasket thingy, get and fit tyres. :shock:

Either that or I'll take the wee beastie to the right of Stevo's big foot! :-D

For now I am currently driving a very sweet black MG B! :D

Stef, it looks like blipi will have to give the ring a miss unless you have got a string of mechanics at hand and priority over the spare parts at lotus. If it seems that you have to come in another car you need to contact P&O to give them the details of the other vehicle. There maybe a charge for this, hopefully not to big.

Really do hope you can make regardless of car your driving :wink:

Our thoughts are with you, Stevo.

When a friend truely needs you, your place is by thier side.

Nurburgring will be there for later.

If we see you, great. If not........ as has been said, we understand why not.

How are you going on Stef?

Spent 4 hours cleaning the Beast today, and even stuck my GB sticker on.
If you do come Stevo thats the only bit you'll see of the Beast :-D
Actually, after viewing several crash videos I aint going stupid, no way :shock:

Any ideas on the long range forecast?
