Thanks for the new desktop wallpaper @Building Candy
Did you have a set of step ladders in the boot or something for the 2nd shot?

I actually just held the camera over my head and snapped away on tip toes.

I do that at times. 
Always annoying when I check the 30 or so pictures later and none of them are level, so I have to crop them despite my best efforts

well guess what
.They give excellent grip, never so much as a chirp it just grips and goes.

Well I had them on an MX5 and an E30 and they were as sketchy as hell on both. Particularly the heavier E30.
I replaced them with Vredestein Sportrac 5's on the MX5 and Federal Formoza AZ01's on the E30, and both were exceptionally better on wet or damp roads even though neither are top of the range tyres.
The T1R's seemed great in the dry on the MX5 though, but left much to be desired on the E30. (E30 is heavier and with an open diff)

Plenty of grip with T1Rs on my MX5 but that was on coils and fully set up too. They didn't last 3k miles though

just spent a lot of money on this, sold my supercharged RS4.
Basically i have lost my way with cars, I drive a range rover vogue se around (4.4) daily so all the toys i have had in the past few years have been lost, they are great to drive, fun etc but i dont need to drive them often. I am a huge motorsport fan and track day and despite owning a number of high power cars in the past few years i have decided to go back to basics ...get back into track days and having fun instead of parking a 30k car on the drive all week
The spec is huge, diff, cage, supercharger (300bhp) flywheel, exhaust, alcon brakes, lightweight wheels, semi slicks plus shed loads of other stuff but here is my new clio 200 RS Cup... 2010, 50 k miles

Love that colour. If you lick it, does it taste of Pacers?
