    I use Dreamytime Escorts.

    I use the with 245/45/18 all round. This is the BMW recommended size. These go on in place of the 20″ summer set and fit with the MSport blue brakes. I don’t think the 17s fit with these brakes.

    You’ll also need to consider your options with the TPMS. I decided on a new set of sensors so it’s just a case of swapping wheels.

    Oops it was the V90 i was referring to – apologies.
    As stevemuzzy says they are not comparable. The v60 would be considerably smaller than your 5…

    I looked at the V60 (and XC60) last year and ended up getting a 530d Touring.
    Volvos are nicely styled inside but it worked out more expensive for a 2 litre Volvo than a 3 litre BMW.
    Volvo are trying to compete with the German brands but aren’t quite there yet and the examples i looked at cost more, i’m guessing due to heavier depreciation.
    Questionable rear styling, a vanilla driving experience, OTT nannying sytems and the touch screen certainly didn’t impress.
    A year on and i don’t regret the decision at all. I admire the latest Volvos but can’t help feeling that they are aimed at people who don’t like driving.

    I can concentrate on looking out for hazards instead of having to concentrate on keeping my speed down.

    I fell asleep at the wheel driving back from Key West, luckily managed to control the car and get it back up onto the road before spinning round multiple times in the central partition.

    Since then I am keenly aware of keeping my concentration in the car – there’s a can a Monster if I really need it

    difficult to tell if this is a piss take or not……

    I use a picnic rug with a waterproof backing.

    Doesn’t rustle like a tarp does.

    I remember first seeing them at Dance ’91 at Pickets Lock where they filmed bits of the Charly video.
    I’ll be dusting off the old vinyl tonight….

    What car is it for?

    I recently did this and went from a standard 20″ to an 18″ and maintained the same rolling radius. All the info i found online from various sources.

    If the car comes with a TPMS (gives you actual tyre pressure readouts) then you will have to fit them for MOT purposes. I bought a mew set to save fannying around with removing them from the summer set.

    The continental (as in European) tyre and wheel websites have better information on alternative sizes, PCD, offsets etc as there is a much bigger market for them there.

    I bought a brand new set of wheels, tyres and sensors for not much more than the summer tyres cost

    Posh Spice.
    And they wouldn’t have called her that if they’d seen the shit comprehensive she went to, I’m sure.

    You went to St Mary’s??

    I have the moc toe with vibram soles and the fit is as expected.
    They’re the most uncomfortable footwear i’ve ever had though. I’ve tried breaking them in but they just end up damaging my feet.
    Must put them on ebay soon.

    “She turns up. In real life she’s a good 2 stone heavier than her profile pics but she’s very pretty so I let it pass”

    Can’t think why you were single….

    What would you do then? Tell her?

    I made the mistake of doing that once….

    A few lakes in the area including Lac de Vouglans which is a good size!

    the reason Spurs have delayed the opening of their new ground is because workers have lost three days since the weekend trying to copy it

    I heard it was because of malicious damage caused by Arsenal and Chelsea scum working on the project.

    I looked into this and found I needed to declare it.

    Did it online and avoided an admin fee. It made no difference to my premium.

    This was with Aviva (Quotemehappy).

    She can wave goodbye to her “share” of the deposit.

    I’m pretty sure if the boot was on the other foot she would be after 50/50 😉

    Knicked from somewhere else: “You need to look into who holds beneficial ownership of the house. If you are ‘joint tenants’, (which your question suggests) irrespective of what you have contributed to the purchase costs, you each own an equal share of the whole. If you are however ‘tenants in common’ you can own a property in equal or unequal shares.”

    Equality when it suits etc….

    You’ll have to get a Consent Order drafted by a solicitor in order for the court to approve and for it to be legally binding.
    You’ve done the hard bit in getting the agreement so an online fixed fee service for £150 or so for peace of mind doesn’t seem much…..

    Dole is very nice and close to the A39 although a bit further on.

    We generally see terram 1000 specified on our projects but I think that’s more down to lazy Consulting Engineers!
    The Typar product looks more than suitable.
    A useful document here…

    I would have thought something like a Terram 700 would be cheaper and more easily available.
