Nice.

When I bought my car, the dealer had a brand new set of A008s, the OE tire. They went in about 4500 miles. Then I bought a set of R888R. They lasted about 5k. This time I bought a set of A052 for my stock rims to try for when I'll be doing more freeway, and another set of R888r for the cup rims.

My challenge is to wear out both sets before they age out.

I stayed with the A008s, a bit hairy in the cold but just loved the tread pattern..

Nice challenge to have.. happy driving..

They were also very hairy once they got close to the wear bars.

Not so "Smart", I think it's been spending time with the secret stash of cookies...

Weird stuff happening and I’m not talking about the not so smart car.
If I get a notice of a new post I can clink the link and read that thread. But if I then click on the main forum or try to get the forums via a book mark or the main FT86 page I get a blank screen.
Some threads I’ve posted to I can get to by going through my User CP but others get the same blank page.
What’s up with this???

Thankfully, we don't have Smart in U.S. Anymore. High wind would send them flying.

When that happens to me, I just figure I'm having a "senior moment".

My wife's sister's son had a Smart car once. I took a quick ride in it - reminded me of riding in an old International pickup truck, down a dirt road -

At least the pick-up has some charm... We had to tolerate smug arses with their Smarts.. And then Brabus did a thing too.. Big wheels etc...

Another local Aston... nice colour..

JD001 · 06-06-2025, 12:56 PM

Another "Friday Ferrari " outside a very famous Council building... that's whole different story..

JD001 · 06-12-2025, 12:41 PM

Filming very near my office.. a staring prop, didn't hang around to see whether it was a driving role.. However, it was parked outside Guy Richie's London home.
