    I’ve got one, 1.2, 2wheel drive with a dsg box. Its the best car i’ve ever owned 😀
    By the way that Briskoda website has got more nutters posting on it than on here (i’ve posted on both, don’t know what does that say about me…)

    I think the reason for keeping high profile tyres is due to the limited suspension movement current f1 cars have, most of the suspension comes from the tyres. Would be a lot of re-designing to go low profile i would guess, big commitment cost wise..
    A lot of what is termed steering feel comes from the deformation (think thats the right term) of the side wall of the tyre under load, another bonus of taller tyres. 😉

    Could possibly be the time to invest in a new one…I know this doesn’t help but been there done that and failed the mission, good luck though 🙂

    Hey, not saying its crap or owt but just can’t see that the hype about it is justified, as i said, quite liked parts of it but I’ve done every trail centre in the country except for 2,and wouldn’t put it in my top 3 kind of thing (i know, sounds like tick box cycling but it isn’t, honest).
    And wouldn’t fall into the trap of comparing it with none trail centre stuff, which i love, both offer great riding.
    I guess to some extent it is just what grabs but I think parts of the bike press and some on here are guilty of over hyping it.
    Maybe as some have said a second visit is what is needed… sounds like an excuse for another road trip!

    Current fave is A712, great road after doing Kirroughtree, in fact Kirroughs trails didn’t do it for me but that road did.

    Ginger woman from eastenders held a door open for me once (well bought up young lady).
    Got nick beggs (catchygoogoo bassis) autograph when i got drunk in a hotel he was staying in.
    Worked in Jennifer Lopez’s house, what a dissapointment! In real life she lives in Stafford looks seventy and hasn’t got her own teeth… 😉
    Nick Craig has passed me several times in races.
    My wife’s distantly related to Les West (top roadie from the old days)
    Met Hugh (the voice of cycling) Porter and his wife (top olympic swimmer in the old days)
    Saved the best till last, friend of mine went to the same church as the mother of one of the members of The Editors (can’t remember which one though) Now thats tenuous.

    ‘I wouldn’t buy one as I am a badge snob, I’m more infulenced about what other people about me think more the most appropriate bike.

    I would also never buy a Skoda as they make me look a bit pikey

    It’s a well known fact if you ride a Boardman bike and drive a Skoda you will never ever ever get laid..’

    Well I’m have way there, just nipping down to halfords to make myself completely resistable 😀

    You’ll get sick of people moaning about how expensive a new boiler is. 🙄

    Why is every one so shocked by how expensive boilers are? They are much more complex than they used to be and so is the installation, get over it. 😉

    Not seen the monkey or dog this bad since they opened them, been local I get up there a fair bit, today was my latest visit and it was shocking. I think they should shut them before the damage gets to bad (if it was practical to do so).
    Rest of chase not to clever either, a real slog to get around.
