they arent even matching brands, the fronts are the same, but the rears are different on each side and different to the fronts so it could be entertaining. I won't have nearly the same grip as i'm used to..... it'll be intresting, thats for sure.....

I might be needing a lesson in drifting off you :wink:

Sounds familiar - last year at Elvington I had two Nankangs on the back ( so hard they barely wore at all ), 1 Bridgestone Potenza and 1 Rainbow ( no, I'd never heard of them before either :whistle: ) on the front. Had a lot of fun though :D

If anyone here actually *lives* in Wales, you would know not to trust what any website/tv programme says, you look at the orientation of the sheep, and whether the cows are lying down or standing up! :lol:

BBC said to us light showers last saturday night, look what ensued:

Surely the orientation of the sheep depends on the position of the nearest Welshmen? :whistle: :mrgreen:

Yep that first one is the circuit - the second is a picture of RAF Valley, which is about 10 miles to the North West of the Circuit.

Here's another Google Earth view of the circuit, showing RAF Valley in the background :
