    I always think they get their names from braking performance tbh

    Trianges - stop you like triangles
    Westlake - where you'll end up when you try to stop
    Runways - how long a distance you need to actually stop

    etc :D

    Bridgestone Potenzas - stops you like a stony bridge/potentially the enza your movement :D

    Aye, no problems at all. Saw him smelling his fingers after wiping the DSC pump I just replaced, must have left some residue on there, didn't mention it though! :D

    Just ordered the bushings from Prentice, £40 each for both sides, should have them Monday. Dunno how i'll get them in though, know anyone with the bushing press? :/

    You can press bushings, with a vice and a socket, or you can draw them in with a 2 sockets and a bolt!

    Yes.... :p

    Some HGTs run with 18s and theres a nutter out there running 19s on a Marea :eek::eek::eek: I think the 198 Bravo comes with 17s as an option :) the 182 Bravos had a 15 wheel as an option on the lower spec...

    Had the 17s before then took them off and now they're back on again! :pac:

    Btw its a 3.5 V6 and can use 60L of fuel in about 20km when its loaded for wakeboarding.

    All ready for the weekend, my new board is arriving tomorrow hopefully.
