got to share my birthday (70'th) cake. My Herald going down Stelvio. or it could be showing a serious oil leak.... My daughter, Libby, did the 10CR with me in the Herald, GT6 and TR6, made the excellent cake. I had a great birthday!

I changed the tyres on my Herald after 6 years (rainmaster tyres) they were hard and started to crack. The difference in grip with the new tyre was amazing, did the 10CR last years so wanted good tyres on the car. mike
