supply contract for Formula One after the current deal expires at the end
of the 2010 season, the Japanese manufacturer said on Monday.

"What you thought was freedom is just greed."

The FIA should take the opportunity to ban tyres. I've never liked them.

LOL.

Caterpillar tracks? Nah, Hovercraft, much better, they can drift all
over the place and don't need to change anything when it rains!

Why did you chip in on this thread BTW?

I think you're going to be seeing a lot of this guy.

Colway went a few years ago, apart from a few off-road tyres they will
not
be missed.

I know, I had to get my Greenway Anacondas off some chap on fleabay,
the only tyres I've bought from Greenway/Colway and they're pretty good!

They named their tyres after a slippery snake? No wonder they went bust!

Snakes aren't slippery, they'd have a hard time moving if they did..
The tyre was named that due to the tread pattern apparently resembling
scales, and it's only one of many tyres they made, all with different
names.

Other than that, a VERY FUNNY JOKE! ha ha!

With words like that and a .sig like yours, you're in danger of
getting a reputation!

My .sig of a long time ago used to be "You're my wife now", a quote
from The League of Gentlemen, the amount of hassle that caused was
amazing ;-)
