yeah I had been giving the wheels special treatment as they were bought 2nd hand a week or two before hand. The thing is I remember thinking I best make sure to take it easy when I next drive it, but I totally forgot!!
pmsl, i know what you mean though, my brother has my old 1.2 clio whilst I have my 172, i've driven it a few times since having the 172. Hmmmm, yes, well.
I did, with one of those huugggee quarry trucks coming down the road at speed towards me, had to slam on the brakes to stop the skid and them get moving quickly (but under control).
Always remember to take it easy after cleaning the tyres on the car with Turtle Wax Spray and leaving the car sat in the garage unused for a week. Wheel spinning and smoke 5 metres high when moving off with anything more than 2k rpm. Lol.
i used to run on Optimax all the time, then I switched to the Tesco 99 stuff as all the Shell stations in the area were flattened to the ground and rebuilt. I am now back on Optimax again and can honestly say the car runs better at full pelt.
