Hi Peter. Yes we do, based in Elgin, Morayshire. It's not appropriate to advertise on the forum I believe, but if you wanted more info Google will find us for you?!! I ran Michelin Alpin 3's on an Audi Allroad a couple of winters back and was very impressed and have just put sets onto my wife's Scenic and daughters Clio. As a good all round summer tyre (in view of what can be a damp climate up here!!!!) I have been really impressed with Uniroyal Rainsport 2's on the hire cars. They are very good in the wet yet still feel nice in the dry and seem to be wearing well. Rgds Boyd

Decision made following a change of plan as a result of sound council from you guys, thanks. Going with 185/60 R14 Michelin Alpin PA4's on 14 inch Minators. Again, thanks to all and I'll post to let you know what they are like in my and any hirers opinions.

Is half hood still for sale

Hi, not as sophisticated as commercial variants but a very good low cost alternative....get a large sheet of very light polythene, big enough to drape all over car and maybe 500 mm excess all around, decorators polythene will work. Drape this over the car and place a 45 or 60 watt tube heater underneath the car. Very low running costs, polythene "inflates" with warmed air to form a chamber and air bleeds out of edges to maintain a flow so naturally dehumidifies.

Thanks Anton, now thinking of Michelin Alpin 4 on 14 inch rims?

Thank's all. That's a good point re will they fit the car "Stationary on M25". They are wheels that I had with a 2003 Anniversary car but wish to fit them over winter onto a 2006 car currently running 15 inch anthracites with 195 / 45 15. Plan is to keep one of the hire cars on the road over winter to take advantage of the quiet Scottish roads and snow covered scenery on cold crisp clear days, hould we get? Inspired by Henry Catchpole EVO video in Alps.

I'm contemplating keeping a 7 on the road through the winter using 16 inch HPC 5 spoke wheels for added ground clearance. I'm hoping for recommendations as to a good winter tyre that would suit a & on these rims. Car is Roadsport SV 1.8 K series, 140 brake. Thanks Edited by - HCH on 7 Dec 2012 23:28:53

Quoting Stationary M25 Traveller: Hey - sneaky entrance - welcome to BlatChat Thanks alot, obviously all a bit new to me this but seems pdg

Hi MartinH. No they are the std size to fit an S3 but not my butt! Do you have SV leathers with headrests in good condition?

I need a pair of SV leather seats pdq and have a surplus to requirements pair of Tillets. Will consider a pay or exchange arrangement.
