Where do you guys get your tyres from ? Been thinking about getting new alloys without rubber and I was wondering where the best place to get them would be ? Also, slightly off topic but my mate has an MGTF and he recently did a track day and fooked up the tyres good and proper. He has been...

Since I have had the 172 I havent got enough fingers and toes to count how many people have flashed me because they think I have the main beam on but it is only the Xenons being that much brighter. Anyone else had this done to them ?

Been speaking to Telford_Mike about the track day calendar for this year. There is the Pembrey circuit near Swansea in South Wales which is used by some F1 teams for testing. On June 5th there is a track day being organised by...

When you get the CoC (ooo-er) with your Import vehicle, what does this mean ? Does this mean that it conforms to the standards of the EU market ? If a vehicle has this does it mean that it is an EU import, i.e. NOT a grey import ? Cheers, D

Hi, some people on here may know me and some of you may not. Last year I sold my MKII 172 as there were more important things to me at the time but now I am in the market for a new car. The three that I fancy are the Fiat 20v Turbo Coupe, Honda Integra Type-R and MKI 172. The question is...
