You got any standard PH1 15"s? Stick them on and you can keep / sell the 16s?

16's are worse than useless to me. Cost to much for rubber!

That grey chammy looks odd without the grey stripe.

Tell me about it.

The cordoba has 16" rims, just had 4 tyres - £55 a corner! Falkens too.

Toyo Proxies are £32 for 15s. Rock on.

hmmm glenrothes is a bit more out the way - I should restrain myself!

Pretty busy the next few weekends (visiting friends this week, parents next week, rally the following week, free the next I think, then off to stockholm the next!)

I'm working in glasgow during the week though so could maybe sort out a swift half Wink one evening after work if that suits you.

well I have seen them for 12 quid. 20 quid should get you a decent one that will fit the tow hook without damage.

motor factors etc arew the best places to go and ask, halfords rip ye off

yes. you cannot tow at all on a motorway. You can only tow using an a frame, dolly or trailer.

pah so, leg out the door and push!

You can tow on any road aside from a motorway.

I had to tow the white chamade 30 miles when it never ran and we had just rebuilt the thign so it could roll and I had to drag thie thing up hills and all sorts, the joys of scoptland. It was the energy that done it all, ahh the beast.
