Hi jkp.

So disappointed regarding you good wife's financial state.

I married a very rich one to get my UK passport and even though she is an ex now, has proved most helpful. :evil: :grin:

Do get the Verdys. Worth it IMO.

All the best for the winter.


BTW, just kidding about being a passport whore. :wink:

Glad to hear it. Don't want to be looking out for a red Gti being pulled by Border Patrol on Sky 1 anytime soon.  :wink:

I think the Vred's are a goer.  :smiley:

Time to think about ordering soon (sounds mad in this heatwave I know).

Remember last year?

The prices started going up almost daily from the end of November.
Mid December you couldn't buy them anywhere.

I'm sure I posted this in another thread but I was in a fast fit centre a few weeks back and someone phoned looking for winter tyres. The fitter couldn't guarantee any and told him most of their suppliers had already sold out!!!

Ordered the Vreds today. Wanted to call and see stock levels before committing to buying. Local chap could not get a decent price so got them from mytyres. They have >200 each of H and V rating in stock, but going fast according to the nice lady on the phone.
