In Greek mythology, a phoenix or phenix (Greek: φοῖνιξ phoinix) is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor.

 

So from the ashes or parts of Purple Rain she will be reborn !

 

May the new build thread begin.

245 30 19

275 30 19

the quote came in before we discussed that.

 

although still finding hard to get profile of 30 on the fronts.

 

using camskill's doesn't give any option for 30 that I can see.

If you want 275 rears, I would suggest: 275/30 and 235/35. Your arch would need to be rolled flat with that fitment and possibly a slight pull as that will be quite aggressive.

You missed an important number dougal, what offsets?

 

Ah yeah, opse 30 rear 25 front

It's interesting to read these different fitments, what tyres have you got fitted? It seems to be a bit of a lottery between the different tyre manufacturers as to how much width you get exactly! Not easy to work with when you're talking mm of clearance.

My supplier reported back that he can't get these sizes matched

I went for equal profiles all round, I did have 35s at the front. I always thought the tyre looked too tall - now that I have a 30 profile on the front, the car looks far more balanced. Not too sure why your supplier can't get them.

No idea, but when you try it on camskill too it doesn't show.

 

it come in a run flat only and at £223 per tyre

Yeah I think they are run-flat only. That's no problem, they just have a tougher side wall. I'm going to have to go to a run flat when I take my 265s down to a 255. My front tyres are a little too wide.

Just be aware that if you go for those sizes, your front wheels rolling radius will be smaller. Less than 3% though so it will be grand [emoji106]

Patience Grasshopper!! Keep the chin up:thumbup1:

Patience paid off!

 

Went for a full breakfast at Frankie and Benny's and washed it down with a pint of stella.

 

Waiter gave me bill for stella and after I I waited nearly 15 minutes at the cashier desk to pay

The same Waiter came and asked me for the till receipt so he could charge me, honest man that I am

I did declare the breakfast I just ate but he only put through the cost of the pint so thanks.

 

Full English and a pint for £4.95

I don't know how you can sleep at night, haha :no:.

Hopefully with a well digested breakfast.

 

I did mention the breakfast so not my fault, OK maybe I could have mentioned it again.

 

But hey they make enough money from overly priced meals.

 

Was it bad that I declined the gratuity, as I was fed up waiting to pay them.

I don't know how you can sleep at night, haha :no:.

Finally on the plane.

Finally on the plane.

 

How longs the flight?? I'd say time has stood still for the last 4 hours:thumbdown:

And landed. :)

Arrived safely at my hotel and no more than five minutes in the door my first pint is ordered
