Hi

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

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.

It's a great event
