Yup, downhill, wet, didn't anticipate the slower van he was gaining on, had nowhere to go except around the van, then he jack-knifed.

LOL, cost to change, a concept lost on so many.
'Yeah, but I got a great f***in' trade in..."
Indeed you did, while paying full sticker price. Well done.

There are huge advantages...like having a heavily modded 172 Cup and getting fully comp insurance for £270 :approve:
I'm easy date wise. Seperate thread for suggestions?
You'e thinking of the track increase over a standard 172 - think it was +20mm up front and +10mm at the back.
Some of that was from the Cup wheel's offset...can't say what the rest of the increase came from though.
