Hi

This is a special tyre test we did, using Michelins, a Lexus, a trailer strap and a tree

Just goes to show Michelins dont grip very well If you try Vreds you might have had a better chance of getting that tree out

If the tree HAD come down, it would have made an interesting mark on the car roof! Perhaps they didn't spot that? Good fun though!

You've got a bit of choice around Sheffield, but in your shoes I'd probably go to Weston Park for my chemo. If you fancy a nice drive to take your mind off things, The Christie Hospital at the other end of the Snake Pass in Manchester has world class oncologists.

I was really impressed by how well those tyres stood up to what can only be described as abuse. I think anything other than Michelin would have given up considerably earlier.

Here is another completely unrelated film i took recently on the Vernasca Silver flag hill climb.

Vernasca Silver Flag

It's a great event

Didn't you sell me those tyres last week?
