    Missing Gatwick car parkers thread

    So why was this thread deleted? I'm guessing that his visits last night were to fire off some threatening PM's. Pretty lame that the forum folded so easily, disappointing.

    Forza 4

    Forza Motorsport 4 week has arrived. As i've played F3 SO much, the only downer for me could be the lack of new tracks. Rivals Mode looks like it's going to be huge fun. Trailer voiced by Clarkson; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvimE0aNFOg

    handling problem

    Trophy was handling like a bag of crap, noticed a bouncy damper so had it rebuilt at BG a few weeks ago. Also the exalto's on the front had come to their usable end so replaced them with the Pilot Sport 3's. Anyway, Trophy's feeling a bit weird in some corners, i cant really describe it, its...

    Clio 200 Vs Trophy

    I loved the Trophy and thoroughly enjoyed my 12 months with it, but one lazy Saturday afternoon I read about the Clio 200's top-5 finish in eCOTY and casually trundled down to the local Renault Garage to see what all the fuss was about. Three days later I placed my order. There has been a lot...

I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...
