I'm going to drink all the beer, there wont be any left for andy

JC, took me nearly 3 hours from chunnel to hotel, but I was a bit nervous at first and followed the lorries most of the way. And we stopped twice on aswell. Tip of the day, if you stop for a pee either take some change to the bogs as they charge you to use them in some places, or, do what the lorry drivers do and piss up the wheel of your car.

PS. Diesel is 1.30 euros a litre so you might want to plan it so you fill up while your here in you run the Derv, petrol is more expensive and not much cheaper than uk, about 1.45 euro I think.

It has to absoloutly boiling before they work on astro, the heat did get the dust up today so that may not help the losi tyres

That is NOT the way to drive!

You've got alloy rims, right? Should be allright then. Might even increase traction.

When they charge, I usually piss up the side of the building...

Maybe rears, but don't think we could get any fronts when we did last Euros in Italy.

Just had a look on their site, and no signs of any sprints. In fact they don't make Ifmar Pin fronts any more either - only block head, taper pin and stud 4wd fronts these days.

What do you mean? Yellow compound changed over the years?
