Hi - from memory there is quite a big difference between very soft and very firm. Factory setting (22 from soft) seems the best compromise. I guess this answers your question - is it worth unpinning? For road use probably not.

looks like a Fiat 500?

If you read EVO (latest edition just arrived), you'll be able to see the actual BMW i8 car I spotted. Page 116.

Lots of great spots! I forgot to include a new GT40 a few years back.

What rare cars have you seen on the road? 1. I spotted a debadged camouflaged BMW i8 last Friday on M25 2. Veyron on the M40 3. 26 Trophys at Gaydon 2 years ago ;)

I'd be having words with that cat! Looks very tidy.

It was mentioned a few weeks back that the 195 conti tyres as fitted to the 172 have a square footprint and is almost identical in actual width to a 205 profile.

Wow, so cheap compared to you know who! Did you need new parts or was it just a service?

Marginal gaine in power (if any) but improved (louder) noise

That's quite a trip! How far door-to-door?

Nice photo, and yes it was a long time ago! A question for some of the older folk, I wonder how many have also owned a R5GTT? I was the 2nd owner of G75WVU, a mint 'raider' in my youth. I believe it's still alive.
