OV9

Massively lucky to walk away from this with ribs injured only.

Rondinculously cheap in the current climate for a well cared for car with those mods imho.

I'm not particularly aware of his work as an artist, but he produced / studio engineered some absolute belters.

RIP.

Better than just repeating Kata I guess.

I'm keen to see him do his test now. I'm not in the market for this type of tyre personally, but the data looked a bit mad : over 6 laps the "milder" Cup2 appear to have taken about 3 laps to get properly warm, with a starting lap 2min31, and the last two laps consistent in the 2min24 rang...

Beautiful colour

I'm not usually the greatest fan of red paint, but that looks great. Funky seats too. And great to see that it has a healthy 84k-odd miles on it too - so you can still drive it!

I had no idea the Cup2R wilted so fast. It’s clearly a lengthy track with 2m20 lap times, but to be 4 seconds slower on the 2nd dry lap, and 8 seconds slower after 6 is absolutely massive.

Brutal

yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes

Who were Autovia anyway?

Spin off from Denis. (After Felix passed away?)

Because Germy Vile.

Eww - that really doesn’t sound good.

Something different. Pedestrian wanders out without looking (possibly thinking the road is one-way for all traffic, and not noticing the 2-way cycle lane?), but since they were crossing the road I think many cyclists would have anticipated the potential for that happening. A brief toot on that nice ...

The old tyre is fine, but the wheel is cracked in 4 places, almost in perfect quarters.

Do you have a spare you can stick on?

Looking at that, I'd suggest that in order to have a clear view of oncoming cyclists, especially if it's a Van or 4x4 letting you out, you would already need to most of the way across the road before you'd have that clear view. That’s true of many awkward junctions though. “Creep & peek” I thin...

I'd be interested to see the road layout from the Mini's point of view

And thanks to @Rich B 's INSIDE INFORMATION - you can.

So, do I just bit the bullet and replace like for like? We had sliding mirrored wardrobe doors replaced years ago at a property with a 3 panel wood/coloured glass/wood. Much cheaper than replacing with mirror (and we specifically didn't want mirror). In fact my mum put the same kinda thing into her...

Driver 100% at fault. Some comments in the thread highlighting that the cycle lane had ended - which are irrelevant - a cyclist can still filter up the inside of a lane and if you can't see that your route is clear - don't cross. Driver is also a total dick for denying fault, and the bikes are fully...
