They would last with me no problem, as I’m far to old to be a boy racer now, although I do have my moments in the right circumstances and locations.

No, it’s a Ghia X but with a slightly de-tuned version of the ST’s 3.0 V6. It’s basically an ST with 23bhp less, softer suspension and more wood inside!

Still really pleased with it. If I’m a good boy I can get 42mpg out of it but when I’m not good (which is most of the time to be honest...) it doesn’t get overtaken by much! I like it’s Q-car nature. It has V6 badges but I reckon even if thy spirit them, most people assume it’s the 2.5. They soon learn it’s not, though... ;)

Ah yes, it's Jon (In the Sticks) who's got the ST... Glad you're enjoying it - sounds like fun:)

I think they are continental sports, will double check in the morning.

They're good too, but the PS4s are still a significant step up:)

Marco.

Just a shout out for the best fuel, by a country mile, I've ever put in the Brabster, and apparently the unleaded version is just as good: https://www.cambriancards.com/learn-...supreme-fuels/

If you've got a Texaco station near you, try using at least a full tank of either of the above, and trust me, you'll notice a very positive difference!:)

Marco.

Thinking about them for the beemer for summer tyres, definitely don’t want run flats again, and need something with good grip with 313hp and 630nm to lay down.

Go for it Ali, it'll be a significant but very worthwhile investment, and once you move to PS4s you won't want to return to anything inferior - a bit like with valves and transistors!)

Rears are 275/35/19, can find them for £178 online. Not too bad.
