I like the wear indicators. I wonder how long they will last though.

It would only be wrong if you didn,t apply a generous coating of oil over your body first.

How are you likeing the 15" wheels Stu, are they as responsive as the larger wheels.
The car looks great

The 15s have definitely grown on me.
It is still debatable whether, with the same good compound tyres, whether the 15s are faster, or better than the OEM 17s(which way 2kg each more) I think the most important thing is to have the best tyre for the job.
The new Hankook RS-3s are AMAZING. My first run out on the Hill with these tyres, was 2 seconds faster than my previous best.
Huge improvement. They are so grippy, but also so straight and predictable even when the driver uses too much loud pedal.

Shame I cant use them everyday, they wouldnt last long.

Looks like you've got the car pointing really nicely there. On the topic of reversing challenges, just be thankful you don't have an MGB gearbox to contend with. :roll: :lol:
