  Finding the `stiff upper lip` in motoring stories - free (virtual) pink gin for the winner. First though there`s the ritual to go through in order for your brain to switch modes - from quivering jelly to hard baked scone. Stand to attention and salute the British flag. You are wearing a Pith
• Skoda Octavia II (2004 - ) - Tyre suggestion - Octavia II Ambiente TSi 2 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  . The tyres currently fitted are Dunlop SP Sport 01 (205/60/15 91V) and are evenly worn with >5 mm tread remaining.

• New Tyre Time Again.... 22 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  It seems like not many months ago I came on here asking for advice about choosing some grippy day-to-day tyres for my Volvo S60. I settled on Goodyear Eagles to replace the Pirelli P6000's I have had both on the Volvo and my previous Mondeo estate. Well, the Goodyears were certainly very grippy
• Peugeot 205 2 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  A few weeks back, I bought a 1989 Peugeot 205 diesel off a neighbour as a bit of fun more than anything. We have enough cars as it is but these 205's bring back a a few happy memories since we had one new in 1986 and the chance to pick up an immaculate low mileage model was too tempting. Anyway
