The Stig at Harewood

Apparently The Stig frequents Harewood.

Top Gear are going to show him campaigning hot hatches up the hill, including the Subaru Cosworth Impreza.

The Stig has been practising Harewood in a black Focus under the auspices of a happy go lucky,gap-toothed northern gypsy type since March. He was, of course, under strict instruction not to, and I quote, "upset the regulars and go too fast".
Something he has maintained with aplomb.
His original suggestion of a BOGOF lunchtime lucky heather and pegs deal to other competitors was rejected by the producers as cliched.
He even posted numpty questions on this very forum to further dress the elaborate deception.
I'll be back in the car at Harewood, so expect the times to plummet by tenths.

Hopefully I'll get to have a chat with the new owner of my wheels. In the meantime 4 new toyo's on their way, and hopefully some new rims.
Switch on it's way when I get drunk enough to click buy

"I bought a diff ?"

"When ?"



ps - for those interested, £275 delivered 4 X 225 45 17 t1r's. Not sure how that compares to other suppliers. Tyretraders in Birmingham.
