Hope non of the five i have go funny then.
Don't talk about it near the tyres, remember that wheels have lug nuts.

I've no connection or anything, - only found their website this morning, but they were one of the few people who bothered to respond to my emails, and replied within 10mins.

Interesting reading, so a business with a projected =A36 million turnove= r this year and a trading profit has not be paying the rent. There is much= more to this than meets the eye.
My first thoughts are what has the landlord been up to apart from failin= g to sell the site? (Why?) Have they been fullfilling all the landlords responsibilties both legal and in the tenancy agreement?
Thanks for that Andrew. Its a big problem for 101'ers - bar grips are difficult to find in decent nick, and they are bloody danger-rews anyway !

that's what I thought.
Were they overinflated?
Well, the carcass seems in good condition from the little info we get, so perhaps someone will re-tread it!
