My clutch is on its way out too :roll: Gotta love the E30 though! LINGLONGS are lethal in the wet, hence the CONSTANT abuse recently. Making the most of not feeling like i'm driving on ice when its just drizzling :eek:

new shopping list;
some smaller wider wheels

Someone that actually has linglongs!!! I love linglongs... for the single reason that they have a funny name!

I assume they must be sh*te as they're so cheap, but what a name! :woohoo:

I havent checked mine yet... should do really... though I would imagine the outside edge of my fronts probably took more abuse. :o :o:

Zed has the video..

Where's zed?

Zeds dead baby, zeds dead.

Yea we were talking about your Linglongs on Sunday, here are the pics I took of my Dunlop run flats on my E60 note that these are two different tyres both on the same hub and at about 6 month/5000 mile intervals. The man at the tyre co. said "ooh your a bit harsh with your tyres ar'nt you" I replied I thought as they had'nt "run flat" that there must of been plenty of life left in them.....his face was a picture :mad:

Image

Note the steel in the mudflap !!!

I had to stop to look what the knocking was....just a stray bit of the tyre :roll:

German engineering!!! Goes wrong alot but rarely lets you down I haven't got time to write my shopping list :(

:clap: You're not supposed to stroke them Nathan!
I assume they must be sh*te as they're so cheap, but what a name!
I nearly didn't buy them purely cos of the name but a mate offered me 8 for £170. Would've been rude to turn them down. In their defence :o: , as long as they stay well clear of water, they actually grip quite well. If its wet though, you wheelspin in 3rd@30mph :burn: amusing at times.
tim they arent dead they just need switching from side to side... lol.
I was tempted mate but chucked the mims on for now instead (which currently have tyres suitable for a Hummer on) but :gives: ...

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay on the video!

I've been flat out with a number of jobs to earn some much needed cash!

I have been working on it in my spare time and it is looking quite good so far.... :twisted: :twisted:

I've never done video editing before, this is my first ever attempt and I am quite pleased with the results at the moment.

I'm over half-way there and hopefully will manage to find time to finish it tomorrow.

Sorry to keep you waiting, but I want it to be quite good....

Regards,

Bruce.

Unfortunately, 90% of the wait has been me doing other work! I really want to try and get it finished tomorrow!

Eko is going to be having a 'sneak' preview of what I have done so far.....just so he can tell me how shite it really is! (then I might have to start again!)

Anyway - back to work! :?
