Was it a good event the Sunday Service? Planning to do at least one this year with a mate of mine but spaces were too limited to get to BMW. Never been before so just wondering if you'd recommend?

The 18s are shod in proper rubber, the 19s on Bridgestones look better than they drive

48 miles of A and B roads this morning at 7:30am with the DSG in manual, S2Ts feel great when they warm up, a bit like the Cup2s which are entertaining when cold

I have Cup 2s(19") on my CC and love them. They will be going on my GTD when I get it.

Have you ever noticed how little the antilock brakes needs to work under very heavy braking? I found a huge difference when I moved from Conti 5s to the Cup 2

Since I have upgraded the brakes the difference is noticeable between the Cup2s and SS, i've not tried the stock rims with bridgestones

I made a smilier comment on the R forum that its fine upgrading your brakes but worth looking at the tyres

Nice. What tail pipes are those? Did you have to cut the other ones off?

You're shaming us all again Rebecca - mine hasn't been washed for 3 weeks and is minging.
