I like Vredestein snowtrack or Gislaved.

Ok , I did notice ! ,, just pointing out studded are not a choice !! :roll:

Dont the roads get wet and the temp drop below 7dg down south ?? Not just snow ! Studded tyres are illegal in the uk ! A 4x4 on 'summer tyres' will slip and slide on snow or ice just the same ! My Range Rover has its 'winter' tyres on now.

Have any of you good people thought about some winter boots for your Puma ? 'Normal' tyres are now much more focused on seasonal use ( not just snow!). The 'normal' compound mix we buy here in UK starts to fall off below 9 to 7 dg. That means in real terms if you had 'winter' tyres on you...

Most important do the lights still look the right colour ? Mr Plod will have a 'chat' as will Mr MOT if they dont ! Cool they may look , but are they safe ??

Would the pub or petrol station on the end of the M67 at Hollingworth be a better place ? its on the way for you all from any part of M/cr !

Now dont go getting me cross !!! Group B cars ( and Group S that were just being developed !!) were no more dangerous than Group A cars ! Indeed most group A cars with better suspension/tyres/engines etc etc are FASTER than the old group B,s. Hit a rock like Henri T or some of the other...

like all race cars they need to be warm before you put your foot down ! 6R4 was worse ,that had to tick over in gear on axle stands before you ran it,just could not change gear,till they found a new oil !! Just the thing to get the takeout home warm though ! :lol: No boot to talk about for...

Standard pas rack is 2 1/2 turns lock to lock I am told so a 'quick rack' would be no 'quicker' ! Saved you £50/£60 ! :lol:

And how did they do the rallys they did over 4/5 days ? Think about it,plus you never ever run at 100% all the time ( no matter how good you think you are !) Mine runs once a month and has a drive at the same time , keeps everything 'happy'.

Not quite that bad in road tune,but not far off ! Tranny and diffs take more harm ! Set it to full go ( 650 BHP ish) and it wont last long ! Its a pig to drive though ( as is any comp car on the road).

Silly person ! Go look at your RS200 in the garage it has a FORD badge on it ! OOPs my mistake its me not you that has one,never mind go look at some pics ! lol :D

Vented or cross drilled disc time perhaps ?????

Interesting the tricks and fiddles they pull to get more cash and or get out of cover !! Motor trade policy !!! grrrr Just try getting a car collection insured now in light of the 'new' law !!

Not doubting your story,but if the van had been parked outside his house ( on the road) then would it still 'not be insured' if hit ? Ok staff can't use works transport for 'private use',thats fine , but I have never seen a policy that only covers x/y/z days of the week. Indeed with the...

Well if you wanted to build an S1600 and could not get a build book this would be another route ,so anyone in the right mind ,if serious would do that ! And its not 'out of date' just because international homol has ended if you wanted to compete the car 'in class' you would need this document...

Or contact the MSA and buy the homologation document for the car,that will tell you what was on them though not how to do it ! They are still available even if out of date !!

Bet the driver and nav are not stock though !!! this is a great place to learn the basics.

Metro 6R4 never had one ! But now to be legal they fit Jaguar XJ 220 rear calipers with the handbrake bits. Some models of V.W. rear caliper have a mechanical and hydraulic fitting in one unit for discs ! Well all I would say is what would you want 1/ Knowing your car is legal / ok to compete...
