Maybe Lewis can be reunited with the tyres that got him to F1? Kumho were
going to supply F1 in 2007, so hopefully they will get the contract and I
will get free tickets.

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

Colway were bust last time I looked, shame as they did some good
off-road tyres!

They did go bust but I think they have rebranded under the name C-Tyres.

From the look of it, that happend in 2002, and it was C-Tyres who went
bankrupt while using the Colway name;

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!

The only whooshing I hear is from you hanging your head out the window
of a moving car, tongue lolling, like the hound of the baskervilles on
a day trip! Arf arf!

Why did you chip in on this thread BTW?
