Simon, you're absolutely right and I'm trying to train myself to your way of thinking. I like to drive out as a single car with my wife and although driving in a club group gives great protection to your car i don't love the formality of where and when you do it! As a lone car the attention is different and people certainly have more confidence at poking and prodding at it! I've even returned to my parked car and found someone sitting in It, just trying it for size, he said when challenged!
Looking at it as a 13 year old car is starting to help and I've stopped polishing out the slightest blemish, although I hate dirty cars I'm starting to appreciate that ---just been out look! And its certainly not an asset anymore!

John Harris if you are ever down on the A55 in North Wales near Abergele you are welcome to drop in with your BRB's and we can fit them. If your sport is a wide body then they won't rub the tyre on full lock and a narrow body depends on tyre width and wheel in-set. Dave W explain it well and there are ways over that although you might be interested to know that Morgan were known for wheels rubbing chassis' and were given MOT dispensation for it!
