Hey guys, unfortunately the car has been in an accident and isn't looking too good.
Me and my Dad are both ok though.
We got upto about 50/60mph, and heard a dull bang from the back, Dad said he felt the back end go light then step out, tried to correct it, but hit the central reservation.

I had a blowout yesterday, the car since I bought it has 4 Nokian Winter tyres all the way round all decent tread.
The spare alloy I put on is a normal Dunlop all weather/summer tyre.

Few more pictures, Cars been 4 wheel aligned, MOT passed with no advisories, and Flappy Paddles fitted, few niggly bits to sort such as Rev Counter not working and slight oil weep on one Turbo Oil feed.

Currently looking at CCW Classics with black centres in 9.5inch fronts and 11.5inch rears, should take a 305 wide rear tyre...
