:signLOL:

Because I left my Monza 18's in Wolverhampton today, I'm on my spare Monza 17's and barely legal tyres. But even in the greasy conditions I was surprised how well the Quaife handled it. Yes, I got wheelspin but only for a very short time and without any juddering - Just very smooth. It's not quattro though!

Will your normal wheels be ready for the meet on saturday Robin?  :happy2:

....That's the plan. I'll come to the meet via Wolverhampton and hope to have on my newly powdercoated Monza 18's.

Is there any large out of the way carparks near the meet that you think may be empty.
We need some group shots for the home page, and the group is going to be rather large.  :party:
Also does any one fancy squeezing a set of step ladders in there boot.  :grouphug:

Its on a big new industrial estate so there is plenty of space around, althou 2 mins down the road theres a good place
with plenty of space, i think its worth a quick drive there.

Cannock chase is 5 minutes away  :wink:
